Hi lads,
so I've got this a couple of weeks with me for a review and thought I show how versatile this watch is on different kind of straps. My wrist is about 7,5'' and although I prefer larger watches (optimum 44mm), having both 58 and the larger 41, I'd go with this one. It really is like a old school 5-digit Sub on your wrist, but just with upgraded mechanics.
So, a couple of shots, hope you like them

I love mine, it’s so versatile.
Great pics always fancied a BB58
Very good photography.
I’ve tried mine on various straps but have reverted to the bracelet.
Beautiful shots, really well done sir! The BB58 is such a great watch - cant wait to see what Tudor does with this line.

Beautiful! I love the orange & grey nato. I need to try something a bit different on mine as well. Such a versatile watch!
Great photos btw

Excellent pics OP. The bb58 never looked better!
Thank you guys, glad that you like the photos.
Thank you, I'll be sure to quote your comment if someone asks if can I shoot for a Magazine

Just for a comparison, here is a ETA 41mm BBB that i shot three years ago. Same watch but that a difference on the wrist.

Impressive photos!
Great photos of the 58, but imo they really show that its at its best when on its bracelet.
I'm of the opinion that all BB variations look best when on their bracelets however I'm surprised by how much I like the green straps on the 58, especially the NATO.
For some reason I find that I do not like mine on the bracelet in short sleeves. So for the time being it is always on a brown perlon.
Its a perfect "one watch collection" watch, I can imagine that...perfect piece

Might trade in my Pelagos for one of these beauties.
Lovely pics. Yes on the bracelet it just looks exactly right. I love mine. I’ve been thinking about selling everything else.
Beautiful photos, great watch. Congrats!
The chap modelling in the second set with the black bay 41 does not have 7.5 inch wrists by the looks of it. Was always curious of the 58 on a larger wrist
These are so nice. I would like one on a nato , but I’m annoyed about the price increases

Again Guys, thank you all for your positive feedback, glad you like them
You're right. On the first set (BB58) it's my wrist - 7,5''
On the second with BBB (41mm) is my Friend, much smaller wrist at 6''
That’s a great looking watch. Had a quick look at various sites but seems to be sold out or “on special order” everywhere. Is it rare or is there some other reason for lack of availability at the moment?
Felt inspired by the pocket picture...Here is mine (41 eta) on 8 inch wrist.
That's a damn good photo!!

You will have to be on a waiting list to get one with an AD. They do pop up in windows every now and then or sales corner. Shouldn’t be long wait though in any case!
Stunning photographs!! Just reignited my interested in these!!

Stunning pics. Stunning watches.
Do you still own the ETA 41 smiley?
Thank you. No, and I never did. It was a borrowed piece just for review
My 19 year old was banging on about this watch on our last holiday and jokingly asking me to buy it for him, as it would be a ‘great investment for me’. Typical teenage chat.
Anyway I recently showed him this thread (and the other one) and said I’m impressed with its look. He then asks if ‘he’ can buy one, to which I said ‘what with?’ . . . . . . Oh the money I saved up in Australia . . . . . When he finished his A levels last year he did a gap year in Perth at a boarding school - fairly low pay but all food and accommodation included. Turns out he was doing 20 hours or more of overtime a week and under Aussie employment laws the pay is much better than here. He saved up about 5k which quite impressed me. I made a call, got a good deal and two days later:
Excellent, well done him and "suits you, sir"
Awesome! He has good taste. Reminds me of when I was 23 and went to get my DJ with my Dad. If only I didn't sell it 6 years later!
Yes make sure he never sells that watch!

Awesome pictures! Can I ask what the leather strap is (without the vintage white stitching)?

To me, not only is this one of the best ‘wrist shots’ I’ve ever seen, but that looks perfectly proportioned - what a great watch and great shot!

Noooooooo! Tell him never to join a forum and wear that one for the rest of his life!! That way he won’t be tempted to sell it because some tiny detail isn’t quite right (according to someone random he doesn’t know), then buy it back, then add a chronograph and a dress watch to his collection and then wonder why the more he has, the more he wants

Love the photography. Pro grade imo.
And oh, great watch!!
First of all, your Son did a wise decision. Not many 19 year old's would drop 5k into something that they will wear for a lifetime. And second, kudos to you, for teaching your Son the proper way to earn on his on.

Thank you very much!

Great stuff!

Absolutely love these and it's on the list.
Please may I ask what this strap is and where it's from?
That one is from cheapestnatostraps. The leather is quite actually good
Thank you
Should I swap my 114060 for a bb58. One of the trickiest questions in all horology........
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
No problemThank you
Well if you like it more I don't see why not. BB58 is the next best thing if you wanna have old school Sub 14060 but little modernized.
Jesus. Just looking at the site. It's very well-stocked!
Looks really nice mate.
