Are you selling your Rolex to buy a BB 58 Blue?

Even very stupid.

No, OP.

Off topic slightly, is the hype due to the size? I realise there are other design differences. But to my eye it looks a lot like a blue Pelagos?

I'm selling my G650 for one.

I do think if I ever pick up another Tudor I'd go for the blue Pelagos though.

Exact thing i said as well. I’m still leaning towards grabbing the blue down the line. This is essentially exactly what i hoped for. Their bracelets are not good. But, given the price, they are not horrendous. I think they clasp needs to be reworked, that’s the worst part IMO.

Not selling anything but def adding one, it's a fun watch and perfect for travel/low key anything...which this year seems to be a pretty solid fit haha.

In a word. No.
IF anything, if I had a BB58, I'd sell that to fund a Submariner.
Sorry, maybe it's just me, but I don't get the hype over the BB58.
For that money, if I were in the market for a 39mm diver, I personally would prefer the Seiko SLA017!

Oh hale no!

[JRell]

Nope have best of both worlds! Cool watch though.

[boogiebot]

I don’t think I’d sell one of my watches to acquire this piece. I think I’d rather keep my watch and acquire this too

I think the smart move is to get an OP 39.

If you can get one. I have a friend that wants a black dial and there is a waiting list!

[Fleetlord]

Far too available to be a speculation piece.

Thank you! Took many watches until I got to the perfect two for me. On a waitlist for the Daytona ceramic with white dial as well, think that will just about do it!

I guess there will be people doing the other way around :-)

Maybe a whole bunch of men don't need a large watch to feel like a man

Selling my whole collection ...Kidding

41mm is not large by any definition. 43mm Sd43 or Deep-sea at 44mm can be termed large. Sub is 40 and Black Bay is 41 and now 39. Not sure if your point makes sense. Actually 39mm is small for diver, it's better suited to dress watch like OP39.

I’m sure by Monday market value will exceed a 5711. Blue is in people.

I love it... Whenever I think I should find a Daytona all I have to do is be reminded od Ellen... Thanks

If you are buying rolexes you shouldn’t be in a financial position where you need to see it to buy a bb58 which in context is quite cheap.

Secondly, this hype is a bit silly.

I think you should read the comment I was replying to for context.

Imagine with other more valuable references

That’s a beautiful watch.

[Fabrice M]

The Rolex salesman I deal with said it won’t be very hard to get... just take a look at the GMT, you can find them very easily. Only people who want it now, buy them at ridiculous prices...

[Ny325]

No.

[RWH]

For those ugly rivets? No way

Not a fan of the riveted bracelet either.
