Rolex

My favorite watch from this year’s show:



It wears and feels like a vintage Rolex, which to me says a lot. The only thing that’s different is that it feels sturdier and more robust which is natural, given that it’s a modern watch. Really appreciate the slim profile of the case, and the bezel insert is to die for. I would have loved for a bigger crown and the rose logo instead of the shield on the dial but hey….beggars cannot be choosers. Best BB in my book. Thanks for watching and HAGWE.

This has been on my mind ever since it's been announced. I'm hoping they release more colorways in the future for a little more fun - I think the proportions are spot on

But I would prefer they kept producing this not make anymore other colors. The BB54 pays tribute to a really nice Tudor reference…I feel that more colors would just ruin that sentiment. But that’s just me of course I’m a fussy old bloke.

However, what do you mean with „the Bezel insert is to die for“? What‘s so special about it?

Just old school “shit” bro. It’s synonymous to the vintage ref. 7922’s bezel insert, and similar to that killer Rolex ref. 6200. Just invokes a lot of that old school vintage charm. It’s just fugging awesome…pardon me French (and bad spelling).

Congrats on a cool new baby in the BB series. Enjoy!

Definitely a cool new baby as you rightly say so

Going to have mine on the rubber strap sized tomorrow.  Can't wait.  The proportions and fit on the wrist are perfect.

Congratulations!

I saw the picture and immediately thought it was a vintage Rolex. Interesting. 

It mistakably feels vintage at times!
