Too much blue?

Just received the BB58 this week and I’m loving it so far. Feel like it’s a great compliment to the WG sub.

Actually thinking of flipping the Black Bay blue towards a Pelagos.

Very nice collection of blues! I think I'd make a similar decision (either/or of the Black Bays) if looking at the Pelagos as it would give each piece more differentiation...Of course, you can simply add too

For blackbay 58 I would definitely get a blue. Tudor is known for its blue in my opinion.

Congrats, and great to see the Smurf and Blue Bay 58 side by side. Many of us would love to see the blue Pelagos in that watch roll!

From one BB58 Blue owner to another... great addition!

That WG sub though is out of this world.

They really did a great job with the blue on this one

I just can't seem to get the fit right. Maybe I'll give it a little more wrist time before I make a decision.

If anything you are still missing some..... blue Skydweller, Bluesy, and maybe a DJ41 to complete the collection and fill up another 3 watch watch roll!

Nice collection so far sir!

Very nice collection you have there. Love the Smurf! The Pelagos would be a great addition if you sell the BB blue.

Re fit OP, I do admit I have the same issue with mine. I just think it’s the best looking of the bunch :). That’s why I keep mine. They nailed it with the ETA version (sans fit and thickness). Bb ETA for collecting, bb 58 for daily wearing. Since you have the WG Sub the ETA is still my favorite and more special IMO :)

Blue is my fav color but I would never wear anything else except that WG Smurf.

No need for those Tudors imho.

Too much blue?

I’m boring. Always black everything. Every car I have owned. Watches... SubC, Exp1, OG58, grand seiko sbh205, aqua terra black teak dial.

Until...

Well done on picking up the bb58 blue and good to see a member who can see beyond only rolex will do

There are times and places where I guess the bb58 is a lot more relaxing to wear than your gorgeous smurf

Loving my bb58 blue
