I love my BB58 blue. I purchased it on the bracelet and also swapped it out for a leather strap which was fun.

It's a secret society. We will teach you the secret handshake and give you your membership card once you officially get your 58.

Fantastic watch! I've really enjoyed mine over the past months.

It's a love letter to the classic 5 digit Rolex models IMO.


Best part is they can be had without games at your AD. No need to bundle gaudy jewelry or support the scalpers to obtain one!

BB58 blue is a fantastic watch. Perfect size, great on a bracelet , strap or nato (unlike current SubC).

Yes! Love the BB58 (& Tudor) for these exact reasons.

Looking forward to adding a BB58 and Chrono to the collection.

Might have to join the club soon , tried the leather strap model at my AD and was impressed. Was afraid the 39mm wears a bit small but that’s definitely not the case.

Absolutely love mine. It’s like a 5 digit sub only much better. Every bit as well made as any Rolex I’ve owned.

Black or blue, you can’t go wrong.

I went blue

The faux gilt didn’t do it for me. Love my blue BB58, though. Wearing it now!

Enjoy when you get it. Super versatile watches and absolute strap-monsters: both the blue and black.

Posted these before but here’s a few of my favourite looks. Have fun with yours OP

Have you seen in person?

I tried on when picking up my GMT. Thought it was really nice! Loved the bezel and dial color.

I would recommend getting it on the bracelet as it only costs a little bit more and there are lots of great reasonably priced aftermarket strap options out there - leather / NATO / Vanguard Rubber or even MN Marine Nationale Style.

This

Best value is on bracelet. Best of the best NATO straps can be sourced in the $35 USD range.

my favorite watch

Love it way too much. It's really the perfect watch in terms of size, wearability and plain old good looks. I love Rolex, but I really love my Tudor BB58.
