Was able to try one today at an AD and was pleasantly surprised. Lovely fit and charming, warm dial.

Still contemplating if it's going to be a purchase. My head keeps telling me rolex but the bb58 keeps swarming my head a bit. I am also looking at the OP39, explorer 1 vs this bb58 (as a daily and everyday watch).

I have a Kermit, no Hulk. I do wear the 58 more than the Kermit these days. The value of the Kermit has just gone up so quickly that it made sense to find a new daily watch. The 58 has taken that spot.

I understand. Always been a Rolex girl myself and have had many models over the years. I’ve been thinking about a 14060m or Explorer 1 myself....but was also intrigued by the BB58. My husband believes in Rolex all the way.

Just got mine today. Fits my wrist perfect. I miss the Burgundy bezel of my BBB, but don't miss the thick slab side & weight. The bracelet on the 58 is perfect. No regrets at all. The 58 will be getting a lot of wrist time. Vintage look with modern movement- you can't go wrong!

I faced the same choice a few years ago. Went with the Explorer. Have the 58 now as well.

How's the 58 compared to the rest of your collection ? I guess I have plenty of rolexes I am actually getting quite bored of the brand. What better way to refresh my collection with its little brother Tudor? My collection as of now doesn't represent my love for vintage since vintage rolex pieces I'd like are a bit out of my budget. So the 58 gives me the vintage big crown sub look and feel but with a beautiful tudor twist :D. Afraid if I do get it, it will surprisingly take up all of my wrist time which would be a good thing?

Not sure if its going to be the right decision.

Did you end up selling it and getting your explorer?

The 58 is still for sale and I haven’t purchased thr Explorer yet, but possibly today.

Seems like you are a local, let me know if you are interested!

I tried one on today for the first time. The dial is noticeably smaller than the BB's and Subs, but the lugs seem longer so the watch doesn't wear that small. It's also very light and slim. I tried it on next to the BB 41mm (I think 41mm) and the weight size of the larger one were preferable to me. I usually wear a SD43, I guess consider that info in my feedback.

If you're having a hard time finding one I can tell you me AD who has one waiting to be purchased. They ship and don't charge sales tax assuming you're not in TX.

The Tudor value proposition is amazingly high. I've had the pleasure of having a Tudor 58, Tudor GMT, and Tudor BBB in my possession for a short time and all three were extremely impressive given the price point.

The 58 has only been with me since July but it gets a lot of wrist time. Love it. Very comfortable.

The 58 is still pretty new so it's getting way more time. Can see that remaining as well.
