I like mine. It’s the older ETA version which I prefer over the in-house version. In my opinion does not look out of place on a strap. The watch gives off a retro vibe.

Any owners of the Burgundy ? whats it like in the metal ? I have an urge for a BB of some kind but I have never seen the Burgundy for real only the others but it looks good in the photo's and a little different.

I'm certainly a fan. I have the in-house version, and the timekeeping is remarkable. Easily the best timekeeper I own (ex quarz). It is a pretty chunky watch though, and has a reputation for being "slab-sided", but I soon got used to that. On the bracelet it is the heaviest watch I own.

Looks brilliant. Also so much blue and green around at the minute so positively stands out.
I hope they add this bezel to the BB58 range (and do yourself a favour - if you haven't already check out the BB58 along side the standard BB. You may find the 58 is the way to go size wise).
I was dangerously close to getting the 58 black off the back of how spectacular the blue is but I managed to resist. My rationale is that money would be better spent going into something different (current target is a Speedie 1863). I did the same with the current white dial Seamaster in that I loved it so much I felt I had to get a black dial too. In retrospect I'm glad I didn't. That said, the 58 is utterly wonderful so if I still feel the same about it down the line and they happen to release a burgundy bezel then maybe I could justify it. In the crazy world of watch prices the 58 looks really really good value.
Here is mine on a rubber strap which I removed after an hour or so, looks good but was not comfy on my wrist.
The fabled slab side profile - the sides are thick in appearance but the underside of the watch is flat (on the original smiley version) I love the design aesthetic and don’t notice the sides when it’s on my arm
The red bezel really caught my eye when I was looking for a new watch and the touches of gold on the dial/hands make it feel a little special but not enough to be audacious!
It’s a great looking watch you should definitely get one.
