Anthracite Tropic strap would look good on it.

You guys gotta see this one in person. To me it looks dull in pictures, but I saw one at my AD today and it is VERY nice. Smooth watch congrats.

Great watch and congratulations to you for picking one up , and great comparison pictures .I have a 58 blue myself, & was wondering if the bracelet would fit onto the 925 at all.

It’s interesting how much thicker it appears vs. blue BB58 in your pics.

Now that you’ve worn it for a few days, how do you like it and how does it compare to your blue BB58?

I ask because I’ve always been a bracelet guy but am on the list for the 925.

I like the look of the taupe and Hope to see one on the leather strap soon. Like the silver and am would like to have one to go with the bronze BB I have.

Maybe by .5mm

It's entitled to extra mass, it is AG after all.

Looks great. I assume the leather is a deployant. Wish it were tang. Interesting on the nato as it’s a thicker piece then the bulk from nato underneath. Fit well or sit off the wrist

Fits great in my opinion. I prefer it on this strap honestly. Love it on the nato and prefer the tang buckle. Also, in my opinion, the leather strap is browner which makes the bezel etc appear more brown than the nato. Just my $0.02.

Both leather and NATO have tang buckles in silver to match case — so, no deployment.

I will get mine mid-May according to my AD. I never really considered a Tudor until this one.

Looks really nice! How much of a weight difference does the case feel compared to the blue one?

Feels pretty similar, although sort of hard to compare since my BB58 blue is on bracelet and this one in nato.

Great pictures and comparison shots to the BB58 Blue.

I was also able to pick one up too, but the wife has not taken it off since purchase.

I did put the BB58 bracelet on in it for all of 2 seconds and took right back off. It fits fine but not a good contrast in my opinion.

The OEM strap is perfectly matched with the dial and bezel. However, I can imagine some amazing combinations of leather and nato straps from this crowd

Congrats OP
