Tudor 58 is perfection!!!

While traveling through Dubai duty free I found a pleasant surprise a Tudor Black Bay 58 on NATO. Price was $2963 USD. I love the watch as much as my Rolex SubC 114060. The Tudor NATO strap is perfect. Stores n UK have waitlists over 100+ for the 58. Additionally the day after Black Bay purchase I got Swatch Hacket special edition 51 only sold in London 988 of 1983. Below are some pictures of current three watch collection. In London for New Years tonight. Happy New Years!!

Great find! I was in Dubai three days ago and saw it, looked awesome in person. The really sad display was their Rolex models. Nothing of note anywhere there.

Enjoy the heck out of it!

Perfection? - I would agree.
I hate to say it, but its proportions are insanely good. Next to my Hulk with it’s garish green and disproportionately large maxi case lugs, the BB58 is pure class.
I’m a convert. I am looking for mine...with bracelet please.
Congrats!

Looks great, but when tried it on I thought the proportion were off, reminded me of the 39 PO, kinda like a hockey puck.

I love mine, managed to get it from my AD 2 days before Christmas on bracelet and it's extremely comfortable. Wear it in good health.

I love mine. Got it in bracelet and my AD threw in the nato, which I wasn't really interested in until I tried it.

I have both the 114060 and 79220N. They are both amazing watches, I've been asked a couple times why I keep the Tudor if I have the "superior" Rolex, but honestly they both have such different characters and I feel are almost equally desirable. I do wish my Tudor had the GlideLock clasp though!
