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!

    Nice! My wife just gave me the same watch for our anniversary. It’s such a great looking watch. From a purely aesthetic standpoint it’s my favorite.

      Woah what a generous gift from your wife! Gz on the anniversary 😊 Mine too, it is just perfect for me. Love the vintage vibe. Next up is probably a chevron strap from crown and buckle. The OEM is rly nice, but it’s like 250 euro lol

        Thanks, it was our 9th anniversary and she’s the best.

        I agree with you, the vintage look it was drew me in but I’m keeping mine on steel. Most of my collection is field watches with NATO or leather straps so I need a little variety. I may get tempted to throw it on the Hudson from Threaded Leather just to see how it looks. I have the Supreme NATO from Crown & Buckle and it’s a great strap; I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with the chevron.

    Unpopular Opinion: The BB looks better than the Submariner. Red bezel on Jubilee and the Harrod‘s are just sublime!

      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

      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
