With zero intent to buy look what followed me home
Stopped at my local AD just to look around and it just so happened this one just came in still in its coffin. I just last month picked up the blue one and really hadn’t bothered looking at the black one but after putting it on the wrist I just couldn’t leave it behind. I’m really happy with this one and I think it’s a nice addition to the collection.

nice pick up! any reason to get it on the strap instead of bracelet? It’s much cheaper getting it on bracelet with the watch than getting it separately after.

I have the blue 58 so if I ever had the desire to swap out the bracelet it’s an easy fix, but I have so many watches on bracelets the leather is a welcome change.

Nice! Found myself in a similar predicament last week. Window shopping at my AD and a Blue BB58 followed me home too!

Congrats and enjoy. I agree the strap is a little change. I have my AK on Everest, my DJ41 Blue on Oyster and thinking of picking up an Omega Seamaster AT on Blue Alligator just for a little variety..

The magic of Tudor! They don’t get as much love at their cousins but once you try, you buy. Along with GS, Tudor makes the best pound for pound watch available.

If they offered it with the Mercedes hands = fantastic.
With snowflake hands, sadly = no bueno for me.

I said that for the longest time, but finally I capitulated and the hands don't bother me at all now.

Nice catch, OP!

I like the avatar too.

Maybe I would have to see it in person because the rest of the watch looks awesome and I love the red triangle.️

FWIW, the stainless steel of the BB58 blue and BB58 is a different hue. The blue version is somewhat brighter, believe it or not.

It's a great watch. I've just added the Nato on that basis.

I’m on the same boat! I have a blue and black 58 but both on bracelet just in case if I need to let one go for another piece and after market straps are cheaper.

I’m a hoarder so no chance of me getting rid of it so to spend the extra loot on a bracelet that I would’ve immediately removed seemed like a waste.

Every time I pass a set of tudors in a window I always find myself staring longer and longer. Really fantastic watches at such a bargain price point, especially during these weird empty Rolex display times.
