Hi , thank you for the advice and well wishes but I’ve already tried that method and it’s still not perfect for me. Maybe I’m just too used to the adjustable bracelet on my sub.

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. |

Has anyone put a black rubber strap on their BB58 ?

Hi everyone,
Just to let you all know that mine BB58 keeps time with an amazing accuracy. In 65 days (since the last time I wounded it) it is ahead 18 seconds! 0,28 seconds per day average. Best regards |

Wanted this for ages. Going to finally pick one up on fabric strap, which is the Tudor signature. Have exclusive Rolex collection to date.

I have had mine since August 2018. My wife bought me the watch with the bracelet but as I wear it every day I prefer the Erika's style strap that is in my pic, really comfortably.
I don't know if I have been lucky but the watch keeps amazing time as I changed it at the end October for the UK daylight saving and it has only gained 4 seconds. I don't sleep with it on but leave it face up. It is a great watch imo. 99999.jpg |

Collected this today after only waiting 3 weeks. Apologies for the rough pic - I think it's a good size for my small wrist.

I've been coming back around to the idea of adding one of these. Had written it off after adding my Sub but I've never lost the itch for a strap monster diver. Nato, rubber, canvas, leather, whatever...this thing kills. I'd honestly probably just buy the leather strap version as I really have no need for another sports watch on a bracelet.

It’s a great watch but I just can’t get past the fact that it’s not a Rolex. I’ve owned mine for two months and pretty sure I’m be putting mine up for sale for under retail to help fund another Rolex.

I am definitely still in the honeymoon period with my 58. A couple of weeks ago was the first opportunity I have had to get out my DSLR and a lens to take some pictures of the watch. A few quick observations:
1. It is a fantastically photogenic watch (in my view). The dial and hands look very different depending on the angle and the light - especially direct sunlight - ranging form chocolate brown to gun metal black and almost speckled grey. 2. The lack of AR was quite apparent in some shots (I have left a couple of examples in below). I never find this hurts legibility but in direct light I had to work quite hard to find a good angle to avoid obvious reflections. 3. It is no Grand Seiko but the watch holds up really well under macro - it has made me love the watch more. The bezel particularly has a great texture and the gold indices are a joy to view under magnification. 4. I need to learn more about watch photography composition! Here are some indoor and outdoor shots: IMG_3522 (2) (Custom).jpg IMG_3524 (Custom).JPG IMG_3528 (2) (Custom).jpg IMG_3531 (Custom).JPG IMG_3532 (Custom).JPG IMG_3534 (Custom).JPG IMG_3540 (2) (Custom).jpg IMG_3547 (Custom).JPG IMG_3548 (2) (Custom).jpg IMG_3550 (Custom).JPG IMG_3551 (2) (Custom).jpg IMG_3551 (4) (Custom).jpg IMG_3554 (2) (Custom).jpg IMG_3561 (2) (Custom).jpg IMG_3562 (Custom).JPG IMG_3572 (3) (Custom).jpg IMG_3572 (4) (Custom).jpg IMG_3576 (2) (Custom).jpg |

Really fancy one of these, not actually seen one in person yet though. Went to my nearest AD a week or so ago and they said they have a waiting list but with a very short lead time. They require payment up front to go on the list though, which I wouldn’t do without at least trying one on first. Sounds like they’re popping up more frequently now though, so hopefully I’ll be able to pick one up without waiting soon anyway

Another picture I forgot I had that I thought turned out pretty decent. Just an iPhone, no fancy camera for me.

I was going to purchase another EO watch strap and came across these Hawkrigger watch straps. The riggerband is an elastic webbing strap based on the NASA strap set up. It boasts a priority start registered watch clasp design that echoes influence drawn from vintage marine national dive belt buckles This one is the Huey clasp in grey with black strip and was ordered from eBay and cost me £30. I liked it so much I have ordered one from their website in sand with white stripe which was £33.95 with free delivery in the uk as they are a British company. I do like the EO straps but for the money these straps are a great alternative and I do like the design of the clasp.

My all time favs for Tudor as I find other BB sits too high due to their thickness. The 58s are just great for smaller wrists! Hope they will improve the overall fit and adjustability of the bracelet soon! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hi BB58 owners, I need help!
I have a BB58 Blue on stock blue nato and just purchased a used OEM bracelet that does not come with spring bars. Can I just use the same stock spring bar that came with the nato or do I need to buy a new set of spring bars? And if I do need a different set of spring bars, does anyone know how much my local AD will charge me? I've read that the spring bars on the Tudor BB41 have different lengths when paired with the nato strap and metal bracelet (nato strap spring bar is slightly longer). Is this the same with the BB58? Thank you! |
