Basel Releases 2018

[logan2z]

I must have missed the press release announcing the buyout of Zenith by Invicta. $100K.

[Joeprez]

That's a brand that I wanted to like when I started in this hobby. And every year it gets worst (same as Breitling).

A storied brand that's really gone down the toilet

Looks like they did the tudor GMT right. Adjustable hour hand - like the rolex!

[Ryeguy]

Future classic.

These photos are making me mentally hang price tags on my current collection as I scheme to fund this purchase. This visually looks so much better than the profile of the previous version.

[Chocodove]

It looks like a Sub profile. As it should.

[JP Chestnut]

It’s going to wear thin if it’s really 12mm with that domed crystal.

[Bradystraps]

This one doesn't do anything for me since I have a MM300. I'm a Seiko fan and I've come to loath the 6R15. It's time they upgrade it or fix the issues. Only one of the six I've had kept good time, the other 5 were way worse than any 7s26 I've owned.

Couldn't agree more Dave. Quite possibly the worst hand set ever issued by Seiko.

[Denizen]

Hubba hubba!

I'll take one of these gladly if they came back.

[FireMonk3y]

So while Tudor is winning, Seiko just released another gigantic diver.
Thank god they filled that hole in the lineup!

I wanted to like it but it's huge with 20mm lugs looks like

For $6k, that big boy better be a whole lot more wearable in person than it looks.

I'm super disappointed in pictures of this. I had placed a pre-order, but unless something amazing happens, I'll be cancelling and putting my money toward something else. I sold some really great watches to come up with the $$.

Patek is trying to be all hip, young and funky. It's like asking Lincoln to make a 911 beater

[jimyritz]

Yikes

Looks like a bowling ball I used to have as a kid

9K for this----

[r.palace]

Just a winner in every way.

Initial Thoughts
Meant to replicate the charm and appeal of Tudor's vintage reference 7924, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight is not only a bit smaller than a standard Black Bay, it's also quite a bit thinner, coming in at a svelte 11.9mm (vs 14.75mm on the 41mm wide models). In addition to the new proportions, the Fifty-Eight employs a gilt colorway, with a gold-tone used for the bezel, hands, and dial markings. Finally, in a further connection with the aesthetic of the original Big Crown of the late 50s, the Fifty-Eight use of a colorless brushed steel crown tube.

If it's really 39x12mm, this thing is filling a hole in the market that's absolutely wide open. Just make a blue version

Dig it but I really can’t stand that bracelet

As for the Pepsi, not sure what’s up with that bezel

hey, man... they hand-applied every splooge mark.

[Chocodove]

That bezel is going to be like this:



to many people. It looks pink and purple to me, at least from most of the pics I've seen today.

Much less exciting than the IG Pics
Not sure how I feel about the bracelet. I go back and forth

[Jeep99dad]

I like the Tudor much more on bracelet.

Yeap i am ordering the Tudor too. Will sell the B.B. black gilt dial I have and get a Monta Gilt Ocean King for my dress diver with gilt dial.

[Jeep99dad]

This is Not a strap watch

Oris bronze

Wow. They nailed this one. Oris does bronze well

That’s a white dress with gold accents.

I dislike the red & blue bezel more each time I see it.

We are both in the white/gold camp.
