I think a huge key here is that you don't like your wife's 5-digit Sub and much prefer the newer ones. Would love to know why, but I'm guessing it's just that extra level of refinement the 6-digits have.

If that's the case, you will NOT be satisfied with the BB58. I previously had a 16610, recently acquired a 124060, and in between had a blue BB58.

It was eerie how much the BB58 reminded me of the 16610 in feel, size, and wrist presence. Probably slightly more comfortable than the 16610 actually, but it was so similar. Kinda corny, but it made me a bit emotional because of highly I regard those older Subs (I wanted one since HS so there you go). TBH that was 90% of the charm for me, that it reminded me so much of the older 5 digit Sub. But if you aren't a huge fan of the 5-digit, then I don't think the BB58 will do it for you.

And yea, to state the obvious, the Submariner is on another level.
