Blackbay 58
Took this shot today while admiring the scenery at La Perouse, Sydney.
I have both versions of the BB, because I like the design and heritage of it so much. The 58 is more sleek and almost wears small on my wrist. The standard version is chunkier, but just as nice, after comparing both of them. The only gripe about the standard version is the top-heaviness of the design. I am guilty of swapping between them a few times a day.
The leather strap’s deployant is inverted, like those found on Seiko watches, such that the loose end of the strap faces in.
Have not bought the bracelet yet, because it costs more than a grand and I am having second thoughts - won’t be using the bracelet for diving, rather, a good nato will be more suited for this purpose.
Have a wonderful year end and year beginning friends!
It’s summer over there right?
BTW I know it is a matter of personal preference but am sure the BB would look and feel amazing with the bracelet...the. Again I do love bracelets...
Yes the bracelet
It will totally change the look. Yes it is a cool summer here, maybe 19 degrees today at 10am. This summer is better than last summer which was plagued by scorching heat and blazing bushfires.
I’ll find AUD$1050 to pay for it soon. It is so expensive compared to bracelets from JLC which have much higher finishing standards, micro-adjustments, and a quick-release function.
Moral of the story - never buy a BB58 without the bracelet.
If its any consolation I got the bracelet with my new speedmaster and i also wanted to get the leather strap with the buckle from Omega and they are charging me ~$1000 for that too!

Thanks Dave
Are u going fishing this season? I bumped into a GW Shark a few days ago while swimming in the beach. It was a baby, maybe 2.5m long. Amazing experience with nature’s apex predator.
No fishing for me. I do my swimming at home in the pool. Sharks can have the Ocean to themselves. Let’s hope this latest outbreak is contained and they can open the borders again. Cheers 🥂

This BB 58 certainly is a great watch. And you are right, to be worn on a Nato!

Looks great and the NATO / rubber strap would probably be better for swimming/snorkeling/diving in any case 👍
