I popped into an AD in Dublin this morning on the off chance and they had just received one which they were happy to sell to me. First one in Ireland I'm told!

BB58’s are now in the US. My dealer offered me one earlier this week but I passed. I just got the GMT and my collection is getting out of hand. I’ve got a couple of PP’s on order and need to draw the line at some point. I may sell off a few but the Tudor GMT is a keeper. Not sure on my BB Noir however, and will revisit the BB58 if I decide I don’t wear the Noir enough to keep it.

Unfortunately the BB58 is out for me.

Beautiful watch, but no date complication kills it for me right now. I find that I look at the date with cyclops on my 16570/16610 WAY too much now during the day.

I know what you mean. When I wear a watch with the date I don't recall looking at my watch to see the date so if you asked me I'd say I didn't really use it.

Then when I'm wearing a watch w/out the date I'm constantly frustrated that there is no date on it.

Hey Y'all, just joined the forum after scouting the 58 for months. I was lucky to grab one today (had a deposit down weeks ago). The AD told me it was the only one they got in.

I'm not a big fan of bracelets in general so I threw on an extra rubber strap I had laying around. What do you guys think?

Looks really good, glad to see the US is slowly getting these. I'll have to drop by my AD this weekend and see whats up. Everything I've seen so far says this will be the perfect tool watch.

Had the BBB ETA and felt it was too large at 41mm. The 58 has fixed this and is thinner, so a clear winner for me. I chose this over the SubND and wil also look to pick up an OP 39mm white dial with the difference. Waiting on the call

I think olive green is the color of choice. I've ordered the OEM cloth strap but that may take a while, so in the meantime I've got a Crown and Buckle olive green Phalanx on the way.

If anyone's interested I've posted my impressions of my new 58 after a month of owning.

Great review Michael.
What kind of accuracy are you seeing?
