I quite like the gilt - makes it unique and different to others out there.

I think this watch is EXACTLY what im looking for! I love everything about it.

Just need to see it in person and feel it on the wrist...

The little splash of red ruins it for me

The gold lettered bezel might be a tad too much of a good thing and perhaps not enough contrast. But maybe it's just because it's not what I'm use to and it could grow on me. I'm sure the variations will follow. Curious how the Fifty-Eight looks and feels on the wrist, perhaps like an Explorer (?). All very interesting though. Cheers!

Love it. Sold my 114060 because it’s square. Can’t wait to try the BB58

It's a coherent look, to me. Too "matchy-matchy"? lol

I prefer the Black Rose but not many can own the Black Rose. The 58 would be perfect without the gold bezel and if it had the Rose logo. The Black Rose still holds a place of high esteem.

Totally agree with you. That is the reason I got the B.B. blue.

I like the 58. But the GMT is on my hit list.

I think that Oris diver 65 that they just released with a bronze bezel in 36 and 39 at the gray pricing is a winner in the sub 40 battle.

now that you mention it, the gold inside and silver outside is really mismatched. I am going to sell my black rose and buy the 58. Seriously no joke

Love the Oris diver from what Ive seen. Have to see it up close to make sure the bronze isn't too cheesy though. Struggling between that and the BB fifty-eight.

Let is know what you think. It will be good if history is any indication. I have a Oris Bronze and a 1917 and they are doing some really cool stuff, just like Tudor is.

It's a great watch in every way in my humble judgement.

I too feel too much god color on this watch. I would buy it in a blink if the bezel had the silver numbers.

I love it just the way it is. The bezel makes it identifiable. The GMT is too big for my liking so the 58 is mine, ETA July.

If they do release color combos in the future then it’s only better

I think the SS bracelet tones down the gold nicely. Most definitely on my radar.

Oris is 36 and 40. Tudor in-house movement for the win.

I like it but the size will be too small for me. It is about options and this will work for a lot of people who the original BB was too large or thick. I would think at some point the 58 will reflect the 41 mm watch with slight changes. The S&G with the champagne dial along with the GMT were the winners in Basel 18 for me and I have both on order and they are already paid for. Looking forward to arrival.

I prefer silver but it's good that they've offered a distinguishing feature beyond the smaller size.
