I was lucky enough to be invited to a tudor event in London today with an opportunity to purchase the bronze.

It wasn't much of an event tbf and they had loads of "exhibition pieces"

Here he is! 20211020_184103.jpg 20211020_183725.jpg

Congrats!!

Congrats, looks great.

So did they have the BB58 Bronze in the display to sell? Thought the waitlist was long for them.

Great piece

I wish! I put my name down on launch and got the call for it this week.

Niceee!!! I like the dial! Congrats!

Aussiexplorer · 21 October 2021, 10:00 AM

It's a really fantastic piece. I'm loving mine. Size is perfect, dial is awesome and the bronze is such an engaging material.

My slightly more patininated example says hello from Australia.

How cool!! The dial is superb and honestly so underrated... the watch goes perfect with my skin tone, I'm going to put it on the nato though!

Wear yours in good health

Congratulations! Love this reference from Tudor!

brandrea · 21 October 2021, 12:12 PM

Congratulations, enjoy it

Keepchasing · 21 October 2021, 12:14 PM

Nice watch. Congratulations!

garyk · 21 October 2021, 12:21 PM

Will the bronze stay looking golden like that or will it tarnish??

stark1 · 21 October 2021, 12:23 PM

Nice. Now be sure to update all of us with photos once the piece patinas!

Aussiexplorer · 21 October 2021, 12:44 PM

There are a few videos around showing patina and cleaning methods. Mine gets a Polydent (denture cleaning tablet) bath every now and again if I'm feeling the patina is too dark. I don't believe these pieces will get to "crusty" like some Panerai models.

In humid Queensland weather, I do suffer a lightly stained wrist at the end of the day, and the patina does make the bracelet articulate more stiffly than SS bracelets.

That said, I'm still loving it!

DoricSpiker · 21 October 2021, 06:41 PM

Enjoy. I am still waiting for mine. Hoping to get a call before xmas. They said 6 months.

Raku · 21 October 2021, 06:49 PM

It looks great, that brown dial works well with the bronze.
6 months is not too bad.

HogwldFLTR · 21 October 2021, 07:00 PM

Nice looker; congratulations!!!

jimcameron · 21 October 2021, 07:03 PM

Boil an egg, when it is hard boiled crush it and put it in a sealable plastic container along with your watch.

Wait for the patina to develop to your liking and then remove your watch.

If I didn't see a video on this, I'd think you were joking. Lol

I never noticed until just now that the Bronze has an explorer 3, 6, 9 type face whereas the other BB58 models do not. It looks fantastic!

Absolutely, it's the Arabic numerals that makes the dial for me. Plus, saves me buying an Explorer!
