Someone asked me for some images so here you go.
Watch has been worn for pretty much everything.
One slight ding in the crystal half way between the centre and the 6.
Some marks on bracelet and clasp.
The marks are of no concern to me. Still think it’s a great watch.

Good to see a watch not being babied.

Just out of interest op, what is your profession??
Not implying anything here, but a data entry clerk would have different wear to a deep pit coal miner

That looks brilliant. Thanks for sharing the pics.
Thank you! I feel like my blue one needs more scratches now…

I am a semi retired desk jockey ... but I do a fair bit of DIY, boat and cycle maintenance ... so it gets what I would consider average abuse nothing like you'd expect from a car mechanic or bricklayer.Originally Posted by nickyboyo
I also wear it sailing and cycling at times.
The example is what it is ... 600 days of "normal" use???
Sailing with the 58
Cycling with the 58
Great to see a watch being worn. Lovely piece and pics!
Cheers for sharing

Nice. As said, great to see it being used. Looks like my GMT which has been just worn with no real special care. My 58 arrives tomorrow.

Have worn mine most days since June 2019 and looks roughly the same. I'll try and post some pictures later.
Think my deep/ biggest scratches comes from folding the pram away in the car (after 1m) on the clasp, then some top lug marks from being chased by the little one (damn fridge)
I look forward to mine getting bashed up a bit. My only worry is the bezel surround. Looks quite thin and probably easy to dent.. although I have yet to see one with a significant divot so maybe it’s quite a rough ring?
Refreshing to see it has been worn as intended. Mine has a fair few battle scars after two years of wear, maybe I’ll post some pics too! Cheers all.
Always nice to see a well worn watch obviously used for its intended purpose

Have to agree its nice to see a watch being used and not babied.
Great to see a watch not being mollycuddled
Like yours OP, mine has been worn continuously for the past 18 months 24/7 and before that in rotation.
Though, I decided early on, to keep all the original straps (Bracelet, Leather & NATO) unused, as it will go to one the Grandchildren.
How is the bracelet stretch, is there any?
None.
Nice pics.
I got mine 2 months ago and am totally in love with it. To me it’s what I imagine a no-date Sub was to original owners many decades ago; an accessible, reasonably affordable all purpose tool watch - rather than something to be treated like rare treasure. Haven’t taken mine off since I got it, have no intention of babying it. Did a time check yesterday and in that two months it’s lost a total of 8 seconds, about 1 sec a week. Great size and proportions too, just an excellent watch, can’t believe I didn’t get one sooner really.
This thread has confirmed my intention to get one of these! Unfortunate about the price rise but still good value.
Just how a watch should be treated, bravo!
I got one off SC just before Xmas after much faffing about choosing between a 58 & the full-size heritage model. I worried it would be too small, but turns out that's not the case. Great proportions, excellent bracelet & the warmth of the dial just shines through. Lovely, lovely piece & my white Seamaster barely gets a look-in these days. Pound for pound, I think the 58 really hard to beat. First time I've seen one with battle scars - bravo & I think it's holding up beautifully.
Nice, good bracelet
I think the 58 offers today pretty much what a 5 digit sub did many years ago.
Strong, you usually only see bracelet stretch pics holding the head, not clasp
Great to see a nice watch that's actually been worn fearlessly.
I'm mildly batsh*t, because I've been put-off buying used watches that are potential dailies because they are so damn perfect, and I don't wish to be the person that changes that, as I inevitably will...
Good to see another being used well!
Here’’’s mine which is a month old, but has had some solid use in that time.
Including a dented bezel (near the 50 minute mark):

Great watches, and good to see them well-used.
I’ve owned my BB58 Blue for a couple of months now and it’s rarely been off my wrist - it might be the perfect watch for me.
Looks great, very legible, comfortable, size is just right, highly accurate and the long power reserve means it’s easy to switch to other watches but still come back to the Tudor.
The contentious bracelet ‘rivets’ aren’t really noticeable when worn.
Making me seriously question whether I really need to keep my 41mm ETA Black Bay Red, but I would struggle to release it. That original colour scheme has never been bettered - eggshell textured chocolate dial with red bezel insert & gold plating. Superb.
