Tyo shares his initial impressions of the Tudor Black Bay 58, a watch he describes as a 'killer' due to its perfect size and beautiful bracelet. His post captures the immediate appeal of the timepiece, even as he grapples with the decision of whether to acquire it amidst a personal downsizing effort. This thread explores the subjective experience of trying on a highly sought-after watch and the community's reactions to its design and availability.

I was looking for a while to try this watch.

This morning I was lucky enough to see one in metal.

I will go straight to the point, this is a killer.

The size is perfect and the bracelet is such beautiful.

My only concern is the folding clasp, I’d like it a bit thinner.

The watch was available to sell at a good price. So why I didn’t buy it?

I’m in a downsizing process... 😩 but I know I’ll regret it .

The lights doesn’t pay justice to the watch

I loved it when I tried it on and must say it is just as good feeling on the wrist as a Rolex 14060M. Maybe even better as it is 39 mm? A watch for somebody who knows watches!

Not a Tudor strap but very similar and a nice change from the bracelet. Regards Kev.

The BB58 has gilt numerals as well as dial accents. That one is the BB Black, which is 41mm.

I should receive the bb58 in a while. I’m quite happy since the regular one is already good looking on my wrist.
