I bought my first black bay 58 in 2018. Had buyers remorse and sold it. Ever since I've regretted that decision and knew that it would be mine one day again.
Recently I purchased one, which had a seconds hand that was too long. I suspected it might be a fake, but it wasn't upon checking the movement. It also had the proper texture dial and "lock" at 12.
However, I was not satisfied and exchanged it for a new one with the proper length hand. Never seen such a defect on it before. I think they might have put a 41 mm seconds hand on it. Very strange indeed!
Anyway, it's back in the collection and I still just adore it. The only issue I have, is that I don't want to wear my other watches It has only lost 2 seconds in over 1 week, which is quite spectacular and well within specs.
I know you've all seen this watch a million times, but I tried to find an angle you don't see as often perhaps. Thanks for reading watch fam.
PS. I have a post showing the watch with the long hand, if you are curious.
Have a great day!
Unpopular Opinion: The BB looks better than the Submariner. Red bezel on Jubilee and the Harrod‘s are just sublime!
I totally agree. I wouldn't even want the sub tbh. But the opaline gmt in 39 would be pretty nice
I also like the look of the large crown without the guards.
Dogshit opinion. Thick and chunky, ugly ass hands. Why do you even need to constantly compare it to Rolex anyway? Every goddamn Tudor post is this self delusion like you're trying to convince yourself
Chillax my guy. The new BB is less chunky but fair enough. And why Rolex? Because it‘s THE standard for divers. Simple as that. Also let‘s be real, some people see Tudor as the poor man‘s Rolex which doesn‘t do Tudor justice. But regarding your last sentence, you are unfortunately not wrong.
Imagine getting this bent out of shape about a comp between Rolex and Tudor, as if that's a weird thing to happen. Are you a Rolex owner that wants all Tudor owners to know that they're not as good as you, or are you so insecure you feel the need to pipe up with your own dogshit opinion when you don't even have a horse in the race? Either way you don't need to go out of your way to be a douchebag
it really has become what the sub once was
We could maybe have this discussion if they had kept the old rose logo (which was one of the all time greats) but the shield just looks like this face :D
