Why on earth did they make the lug width 21mm? Not a very strap/bracelet friendly size.
How can choosing a watch be so hard.

20mm lugs, matte dial, then the P39 would be close to perfect.
Re: How can choosing a watch be so hard.
It makes the lugs thinner and the slightly wider bracelet feels more proportional too. I have a few 21mm straps now and they are easier to find these days.
Re: How can choosing a watch be so hard.
Time to move on from that old thinking lol. A ton of the watches including many IWC models, Rolex OP41 and other 40-41mm models, Explorer 2, new Submariners and many others are 21mm. If you’re in a strap/nato business and not offering 21mm you’re missing a lot of potential customers.
39mm Pelagos-looking watch is not real Pelagos anyway. It’s a Speedy Reduced for malnourished

Thanks, guys
The gold in person is not as in your face as I thought....I finally saw one in person and was pleasantly surprised.
It's more reddish / bronzey / earthy than bright yellow gold to my eyes.
of course I have to wear (strong) bi-focals so what do I know

Re: How can choosing a watch be so hard.
This is literally my perfect watch right now. Been looking at it for the last month trying to be a cheap ass. Its been awhile since I bought myself something really nice.rockmastermike wrote: ↑Tue Sep 05, 2023 11:07 amI’m enjoying my BB58 on both bracelet and leather

Re: How can choosing a watch be so hard.
If you prefer the bracelet, go with the BB Pro. I really liked my 58, but prefer the extra thickness of the Pro. Looks sportier, the 58 felt a tad too dressy for me.
However if you want to wear it on a nato, go with the 58.

Re: How can choosing a watch be so hard.
I really can't do NATO's, all that spare bit up the side drives me nuts. I don't mind the single pass type at a push. I don't like the gap between lugs and seeing the case so I mainly stick to bracelets or curved end straps to fill the gap.

Re: How can choosing a watch be so hard.
For me, the BB Pro only works in the bracelet. Maybe this would also work (it does look good):

Re: How can choosing a watch be so hard.
This watch choosing is a fickle game I'm now really liking the black with gilt hands etc version. I am well known for not being able to make decisions. My reasoning at the moment is that if I kept my Hamilton Pan Europ I've got the blue dial blue bezel covered. I've not got anything with gold/gilt on at all.
Re: How can choosing a watch be so hard.
I haven't had either but I could see myself getting bored with the blue after awhile. I think the gilt and pop of red on the other one would be enough personality to keep me interested in it for longer.
Re: How can choosing a watch be so hard.
I had both, the black for only a minute because I don’t like gold. The blue was spectacular, but in the end most of them go.
I can’t help but think they will start putting the T-fit clasp on these soon.
A black dial without gold would get my money.

But, wouldn’t that be a Sub with a snowflake hand and no crown guards?hoppyjr wrote:I had both, the black for only a minute because I don’t like gold. The blue was spectacular, but in the end most of them go.

Re: How can choosing a watch be so hard.
I have also had both.. Currently owning the Blue…If I could only own one watch, I’d take the black dial. Just find it wears better with everything… hard to beat the value proposition that Tudor presents.

Re: How can choosing a watch be so hard.
BB58 is currently my favorite everyday watch. Just so easy to wear and flies under the radar but still has a lot of vintage Sub in it. Met a coworker with a blue last week. I prefer the black but the blue is very cool.
