I love the aesthetics of the 14060m and the 16570, but with those references would I be getting much more for my money vs the 58 beyond just having Rolex on the dial? The movement in the 58 seems to be at least equal to what is in the 14060m/16570, albeit not proven over time. What about the bracelets? How does the 58's bracelet compare to the bracelet you find on a late model 14060m/16570?
The increased cost of a 14060m/16570 vs the 58 is not exactly a huge consideration for me, but I also don't care to spend double (or more) simply to have a crown logo.

I had the same issue but it was not just price but also the fact that every 14060 or 16570 I saw had been polished badly.
As a result a bought the BB58 and I love it.
Although I do own a 16610 I bought new old stock so that may have helped my choice.
The BB58 is fantastic but it is not a Rolex. If you want a Rolex buy one.
