Incoming, my first Tudor!

I’ve been eyeing Tudors for a while, and kept coming back to the. BB58 Navy. It was time to pull the trigger and it feels great on the wrist.

Any others owners of this reference? Curious to hear your impressions after spending some time with this. It seems like a lot of watch for the money for me.

Looking forward to getting the factory suede strap for a more casual, unique look from other pieces in my collection.

I changed mine to the soft touch leather strap, and mildly regret having gone for the bracelet but it’s really not a big deal at all since it’s pretty close to having two watches in one, and both are equally excellent to have.

Congrats on the BB58. As I’ve said before, it has the quality and feel of the 5 digit sub but with a more solid feeling bracelet. The Blue shade is a richer Bond Seamaster Blue. I think the vintage vibe is Uber cool.

Really good watch.

Congrats on the BB58. It is about as close to a safe bet in the watch world as there could be -- excellent construction and design, respected brand heritage (both Tudor and the broader Rolex connection), all for a very competitive price. Especially at retail, there is no other dive watch that can beat it. Wear in good health

I recently got my first Tudor as well and went with the black. I went back and forth on which color to get and it’s posts like yours that make me think I chose wrong! Looks beautiful and hope you enjoy it!

The soft touch suede is really what I wanted to be honest, but they got the watch in with the bracelet so I took it and ordered the suede. Should be in in a few weeks. My AD explained that the bracelet is more expensive if you have to order it vs receiving factory, so I figured never hurts to have that option.

Really good watch.

I couldn’t agree more. Frankly am surprised these are not more popular!

Loving the vintage aesthetic.

Thank you! That’s what I keep hearing, do you know how much the bracelet is if you have to order it after the fact?

I’m very much looking forward to having some fun with different straps with this one!

Congrats, got mine in November.

I haven't bothered putting it on a strap, the bracelet is perfect for me.

The BB58 is amazingly accurate too.

Congrats! I got one a couple months ago. I wasn't planning to, I just popped in to my AD to check on a Rolex and she brought this out to show me and I fell hard for it. Such a great shade of blue. I haven't taken mine off the bracelet yet, but I'd sort of like to get the fabric strap at some point. Enjoy!

Congratulations! Love the Navy 58!

My wife loves her BB58LN. It pairs very well with a variety of straps and she loves being able to change it up every time she wears it.

I have commandeered it a couple times and I have to agree.

Congrats! I wear my BB58NB daily for work. I never thought I would wear a dive watch with a suit, but it just fits so well.

I bought mine a few months ago. I absolutely love it. I love the subtle look of the matte dial, the aluminum bezel instead of the shiny ceramic that most of us have moved to, and the size. The busy bracelet doesn't bother me at all (I rather like it) and I even don't mind the snowflake hands any more.

At $3700 new, it's a freakin' bargain in today's world of fine Swiss watches.
