I happen to agree with everything you say. I am not sure I could be more critical if the watch was priced at £6-7k and competes directly with a Rolex submariner.
I love the soft blue strap the most with the nato fabric style a very close second. The dial colour is stunning with the silver print.
I can’t add any more to your findings which is why these days I find it so difficult to take my BB’s off my wrist. The BB58 is proportionately and comfort wise perfect at this price point.
You are right about the light and how it changes the dial.
Here are a few shots of mine in the sunshine this weekend.
Enjoy your BB.
