BB58 BLUE dropping on the 30th

snarkq

Everyone needs a BB58 in their collection. It's the watch I take on vacations, in hot tubs, skiing, diving, 4 wheeling, yardwork, do anything everywhere watch. It's tough as nails and looks and feels amazing. You never have to worry about dings or scratches or any of that. Leave the nicer watches in the box. Even though I have the original I am considering the blue one, it looks absolutely stunning.

I could not be happier. In the sun it's a vibrant blue, but in the shade / indirect light, it's almost identical (in shade) to my vintage Tudor Subs. This is exactly what I wanted when the original one came out (which I've worn the ever loving sh** out of as well), as I loved the original Black Bay blue but couldn't handle the dimensions and would have preferred a blue dial like the vintage Subs.

That is by far the best pic I've seen of the new blue
I sooooooo want to get there on this one but just can't quite do it...

It just doesn't evoke whatever this one does and I love my original bb58

I'll post some additional ones when I get a chance to properly photograph the watch. The blue tone is really well chosen and I actually like that the lume is stark white. If this had been the same shade of blue as the Pelagos, I probably wouldn't have purchased.

Looks better in the video than in some pictures.

Been so bored with watch releases these days...that is in my price range!....but this really ticks the boxes for me. I agree with previous poster though, some very lightly patina on the lume would have been the icing on the cake.

A lot of on the fence buyers are looking for square markers which would be a nod to the original

i have a feeling, if they did do that, it wouldve been a hotter watch

Possibly, the availability would be lower because sales would be higher. So many sold by the looks of it, but wonder how many buyers were lost for this reason. I don’t think less of the current or
“soon to be” owners of the navy BB58 would have passed if square markers were present but the inverse feels true of buyers that were really eager to see that. But Tudor marketing dept knows what they’re doing without my opinion

The square markers are already on the pelagos. I guess they wouldn’t have wanted to stray into that territory even if it would have made the 58 more true to the sub
