Tudor Black Bay 58 Navy Blue. Big bang for the buck👌👌

Jan 09, 2022,21:14 PM

My Black Bay Bronze did not get that much wristtime anymore, because of the 43 mm and my preference for 38-40 mm diameter watches. The BB58 blue had caught my attention during the summer of 2020, but hey, I already had a BBB. Until last week, I suddenly changed my mind and made a deal on my bronze and bought a '58. Yesterday I made the trip to Antwerpen, an almost 2 hour drive to pick up the watch in person . No explanation needed to say what a great watch it is: 39 mm, l2l 47mm, fresh blue dial, with silver colored hand and circumference dots, brushed lugs and polished sides. And an in-house caliber, for those who realy like that. I don't like the fake rivet bracelet and decided to buy it on a leather strap.

Thank you.

Great choice Bobbe. Very tasteful change I would say. I have the guilt and thinking about the grey silver. It has a vey special hue n that unusual metal.

By: jlc.thomsen : January 9th, 2022-22:21

Your blue one is beautiful and a fantastic movement for sure.

Thnx. The silver will tarnish after a few months. There is an interesting review on YouTube on that subject.

Shit I didn’t know. Will you send the link? Was it for a Tudor or silver in general?

By: jlc.thomsen : January 10th, 2022-22:41

In a PM maybe to avoid advert alert.

PM send.

Got it Bobbe. Not very attractive that uneven yellowing between the lugs.

By: jlc.thomsen : January 11th, 2022-06:51

That would certainly hold me from that watch until they take them back and figure out a solution.

My idea!

Many congratulations!

The BB58B is simply perfect in proportion and colour.

Superb catch. Well done, my friend.

Merci beaucoup.

A trip to Antwerp is always a good idea, especially to pick up a new watch. I love the chocolates there too.😉

By: BigAppleBill : January 9th, 2022-23:58

I have found memories with Antwerpen. I had a friend there, who recently passed away, Gino.

By: amanico : January 10th, 2022-06:17

My sincere condolences on your friend’s passing.

By: BigAppleBill : January 10th, 2022-06:24

Perhaps some good memories of enjoying summer evenings with your friend ,Gino, at an outdoor pub will ease your sadness. Such memorable summer evenings are what come to mind when I think of Antwerp. A very friendly city. And good chocolates.

He is well known here, Gino from Ginoti.

By: amanico : January 10th, 2022-10:49

And of course I bought a big box of chocolates for my wife😎

You are absolutely right Miles, thank you.

Congratulation on your new BB

By: Jari from Finland : January 10th, 2022-11:12

It is great watch and also to get it in person is nice experience as it can be seen in your latest two pics.

Thank you Jari. The personal contact and trip is the cherry on the cake, and sometimes it's possible to do it that way, instead of online purchase.

By: Bobbe : January 10th, 2022-11:27

Congrats Bobbe. The 58’s are favourites around here for sure.

By: Jay (Eire) : January 10th, 2022-13:16

Like you the smaller case is the big attraction for me. I would have been heavily drawn in by the bronze too, but for me it was always much to big. The 58 Bronze is interesting to me, but they are only sold at Tudor Boutiques and not my AD so for now at l...

Thank you Jay, I will.

By: Bobbe : January 10th, 2022-13:30
