Perfect size and color. Since I got this in October, it's been worn the most out of any watch I have. I love that the bezel has 60 clicks - it makes for using it to tell the date super easy and eased my mind about having a watch without a date.

The BB58 is absolutely perfect in size (to me) and it looks great on you too.

Looks awesome on your wrist. Actually complements the art beautifully IMO. New acquisition or just a test drive?

Adding to the collection.

I’ve always found it very small in comparison to the others.

My Pepsi and black bay Chrono panda wear MUCH larger. And I used to own the ETA black bay so this is tiny in comparison.

I’m obsessed with the design of the blue 58, the size is something I’ll have to get used to!

How do you tell the date with the bezel?

Looks terrific on you, but would be far too small on me. Plus, I just can’t get past snowflake hands.

Thought it was too small as well but now that I picked one up and have been wearing it for a month or so I’d say it is perfect. Can’t take it off. My DJ41 seems too big now. But I still love it

Click it 1 time a day starting at the first of the month.

Wow genius!! Thanks for the idea. I have thought of using the rotating bezel as the 2nd time zone, but as a date function, you beat me man.

Thoughts on BB58 size!?
My most worn & favourite watch since watch collecting.

Have a 7.25 wrist. Looks great on you, size is perfect & puts me off getting anything bigger. Although I do want to try the chrono

You should try- the handset is incredibly legible at a glance.

Looks great. You'll get used to the size. It may be your lowest limit but still excellent.

Looks perfect fit to me, although alot of folks these days seem to like large watch heads that cover the entire wrist but I think it looks better having some wrist visible on both sides. Congratulations, great looking watch.

Looks like it fits you well. The relatively longer lugs balance out smaller dial.
