In order to do this, he says the 58 is crafted from feedback from previous gens black bay feedbacks on forums that they read. He further said maybe new versions of the 58 and other watches may come and it's up to us giving them feedback on forums that they regularly peruse. I thought it was very interesting also he said they previously were going to have limited editions in the US also like a modern covered blue snowflake diver before it was called off.
That makes sense and is very believable. I'm considering picking up the 58 with the riveted bracelet when I have a chance to see it in the metal.
