Advice pls guys

Hi guys,

Had the call for a BB58.

Wanted your advice on the watch? Just want a nice rough n tough watch which I can wear at work and knock around without worrying so much.

I have seen really positive reviews of the watch, just wanted the input of owners and what you all think?

I like the look and would like to see one in the metal.

Great value for the price

Sounds like a perfect fit for what you're intending to use it for.

I would take a look at it, and if you like the way it looks on your wrist, I say all systems are a GO.

I love the look of the BB58, but haven’t seen one in person yet... seems like a great watch to me. Tudor really out did themselves with the new models

Thanks Larry. Yeah I’m looking for something that will not mind the frequent banging and knocking on metal to metal contact. Lol. Wife is all for it, so that’s the main hurdle passed!

Advice pls guys

I’ve had mine for a month and I absolutely love it. The quality is great and amazingly accurate. I am sure it can take a beating just like any other SS Rolex as a daily wearer. I got it on bracelet and it also looks great on straps. Good luck, you won’t regret it.

Should be good, I found the normal BB a little too thick.

That’s why I purchased mine. Beating and banging with little worry
