If anyone is interested, there is ONE on leather at the Dubai International Airport (as of two hours ago). I really liked the dimensions of the case and probably would have picked it up if it were on a bracelet.
No clue whether the shops in the airport will negotiate on price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Having spent a few days with one, it is a fantastic watch! The fabric strap leaves a lot to be desired however; go bracelet.

I can't wear metal bracelets any more due to a skin condition, so it's fabric option only for me if I change my BBB for a 58 at some point in the future.

I don’t think the fabric straps on the new Tudors (which don’t come free with the watch anymore) are as good as what they used to have in the eta Tudors. Just feel different to me. May use the same company to make them but not sure what the difference is. But there is a difference between the straps for my BB’s and the one for my THC. So there must be different options if that is a thing. HODINKEE had a good article on Tudor strap manufacturing a while back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I got mine at Tourneau. What about yours? Cause if you got it from that AD too, then you were the first one to get it in OC according to that AD. haha that was the only BB58 that came that time and they said it was gone right away. |

Got my 58 last Saturday, but the wife has it under lock and key for my birthday Tuesday.
One of the first in Arizona I was told. |

A question for you other Fifty-Eight owners. Are you able to get the clasp centred on the underside of your wrist with the watch centred topside? I’m a half link out (6.5” wrist).

Funny you say that exador, I just got mine today and it’s not really centered. I don’t really mind though. |

The clasp (inside/on the wrist side) is the same size as Pelagos, while pelagos being 50mm lug to lug it blances out but thr 58 it seems unbalanced. Ill add some pictures. |

As you can see in the pic, the 58 clasp isnt balanced when holding the case by the lug unlike Pelagos. Never the less, both are very comfortable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Underside of my wrist is never balanced. I have a small 6.5" wrist and always end up taking 3 links off. It's hard to adjust it perfectly on both sides then. That said, it doesn't really bother me as long as it's centered on my wrist.

I’ve tried both the in house BB and the new BB58, and have to say...the new version is much more wearable. It’s amazing that the slightly smaller dimensions can have such a noticeable effect.
