Just picked up mine today, midwest US. Ironically I was #1 on a list for several months and was told by AD they were hoping a few weeks out; this was my backup list, was #4 or 5. The AD also has a GMT with leather strap sitting in the case.
Just feels and looks the perfect size; lume is great; extremely happy and well worth the wait.

Looks great. What size wrist do you have?

Any feedback after a short period of ownership ?
I'm looking to pick one up, and although I loved it on the wrist I wonder how's the ownership experience

was just in Tourneau last week and they said hopefully November... has the 58 hit your local ads yet? is NYC slow in getting them? or marketing ploy?

I picked up one in near Philadelphia on Saturday that they got in that week. My local AD has got them into their company's distribution center but they haven't made it out to the actual stores.

good to know, thanks, cause some of the "sellers" on trf in nyc are already selling the nato, leather versions on trf f/s section

There鈥檚 seems to have been an influx on eBay this week. I wonder if the next batch have made their way to the UK?

Here's a pic so people can get a relative idea of the size of the BB58.

can you go closer up on that crown tube? thanks, its the only part that im really concerned with, is it still protruding a smidge?

Here you go. Let me know if you want more.

thank you so much! i really appreciate this. the black bay in all its iterations is a watch ive been considering for some time, but that crown tube for some reason always held me back or made me reconsider. to me rolex/tudor knows how to do crown tubes so its kind of surprising that they left it protruding a bit like that.

Yeah it's definitely an aesthetic choice. This is the third Tudor that I've had up close hands on experience with and the exterior fit and finishing feels on par with other mid-tier brands. The dollar to value ratio for Tudors is pretty astounding. Particularly with their newer in house movements. That being said even the Tudor BB Chrono with the Breitling BO1 movement is an outstanding value but I understand that's a polarizing watch from an aesthetic standpoint.

I was actually surprised when i saw the list price. theyre going cheaper than vintage tudor subs, and im not even talking the rarer ones, just 79090s or 79190s. i suppose itll be one ill consider eventually if it was a bargain. the bracelet vs nato/leather is only a few hundreds difference.

I had recently bought a Black Bay Black and unfortunately had not heard of the BB 58 before. Given the fact that I have a relatively small wrist (any watch above 40mm looks way too big for me), I think I will have to sell the 79220N rather sooner than later.
Now have to find the right platform for that.

I tried it on, but I found it a bit small for my doll and the golden numbers ... I prefer to keep my BB of 41

Black bay 58 for sure

Are you just making pointless comments on multiple threads to increase your post count?

I suggest you get your name on a list for BB58. I imagine that they will still be somewhat difficult to get in the coming months.

A "like" would have expressed the same sentiment while not making you seem so "desperate".

have fun

Great photo. Really liking the 58 size wise and looks very similar to the Sub. I am not very knowledgeable on Tudors but enjoying learning about the lines (BB, GMT, 58 etc). Btw the leather strap in pic looks huge. I think the non-tapering gives it an even more wider presence. Looks great though, goes well with chunkiness. All stunning watches. Congrats.
