Lazy-ish weekend, with the perfect easy watch.

I would buy another one of these, there’s a lot to like in this package. And if Tudor could package a chrono in this size case I’d be all over it I think (provided it wasn’t a overly thick).

Two different shots; two different wooden tables and two different natural light conditions. Shows almost two different watches (bezel and dial versus the light).

Key Points from the Discussion

The blue dial and bezel of the Tudor Black Bay 58 are particularly captivating, with one collector describing the color as 'addicting.'
There was community interest in a potential WatchProSite (WPS) exclusive version of this model, which unfortunately did not materialize before the blue iteration was released.
Despite appreciating the Black Bay 58's blue, the author previously owned a blue Pelagos but found the specific shade on that model less appealing, leading to its sale.
Collectors frequently discuss the possibility of a Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT, indicating strong community desire for such a complication in the popular 58 case size.

Biased obviously as I bought it, but…

…they did a good job with the blue on this one.

A 39mm chrono would be incredible

But the thickness would need to be addressed as well

For certain, and likely doubtful they would do something like this.

But we can wish. The GMT BB58 has been talked about a lot on forums the last few years. Maybe we will see that iteration.
