BB58 incoming

Had wanted to add a BB58 for a while and my AD grabbed me one today.

Very nice watch. For under 4k you cannot go wrong.

Congratulations. A friend has one and I wear it on occasion. Great watch and it looks great on leather and NATO straps.

How big is your wrist?

I love the bb58 but I have an 8 inch wrist, not sure it it'll look too small

Congrats & looks great. I’m on a list or two as well. The bracelet version is more difficult to come by here in the US to my understanding. Very nice collection too btw.

Congrats! I'm on a list to view one of these when one comes into my AD, but there's no timeline since demand is so high. I saw a friend's a couple of weeks ago and really liked the proportions. I have two three-handers (nd sub and exp 1), so I want to wait a few Basels and see if they release a blue date 58 or gmt in this sizing.

Congrats! Looks very well. Definitely thinking of one but it's impossible to even find one to try on.

Welcome to the joy of BB 58 ownership. I love mine and hope you'll feel the same. You have to agree it's a real beauty. IMHO you can't find anything to match the 58's retro-designed, it's fantastic sized heritage and the modern updated 70 hour power reserve. We are the "58'ers"
