A first encounter with a BB58

Hi All There's been lots of comments & posts about the Black Bay 58, but until recently struggled to actually see one! Had a trip to London in the last week & managed to drop on one and have a proper look. Always nice to get a watch you're interested in your hands rather than just looking virtually. Also compared it to the standard black bay.

Of the two prefer the BB58 as it feels a better size, not so much the diameter - which isn't so noticeable between the two. The main difference for me was thicknesses & heft & general presence on wrist - for me the 58 just sat better. I'm sure none of this is new, but it's definitely something to think about & perhaps one to add to the ever expanding wish list Cheers JML

Wondering if there's likely to be any new 39mm versions in the near future.

I am hoping a BB GMT... [nt]

You have a point. A slim, sleek, sexy watch.

The Black Bay 58. My opinion. Put myself on the list with my local ad. Tfs. Geross 😎, it's a real cool watch.

Be good to see yours when it arrives

On a strap or a bracelet? Cheers JML

Will post pictures when it arrives.

It's the bracelet version. Meanwhile I hope this suffices. My no date Sub 14060. Cheers 🍻 Geross ...

I had on my wrist the 58, superlative and innovative. Perfect size, right thickness. The 41 seems to disappear in comparison.
