Some Comparison Shots with the BB58
Some Comparison Shots with the BB58
I was really liking the BB58 on bracelet, but decided to take the plunge on some straps. The case only weighs 64 grams, and is nearly identical in feel and weight to the Blancpain FF OCIII, and also very similar to the Doxa 300 50th Anniversary and DaytonaC (the pics are a little deceiving because the Rolex and Doxa are sitting up on their bracelets). This BC vintage rubber strap is by far my favorite right now (I have four of them and almost put all 4 on for pics); just so light and comfortable with a definite vintage vibe. Taking and looking at these pics reminds me how much I love the OCIII, but the Tudor holds its own. These three (now four) "small" watches keep getting more and more wrist time. Also, kinda cool seeing the 4 very different types of bezels next to each other.

Re: Some Comparison Shots with the BB58
Love comparo picts, thanks Rob. That's a pretty strong lineup.
Omega / Tudor / Rolex / Sinn / Doxa / Seiko
Re: Some Comparison Shots with the BB58
Great group and pics.

Re: Some Comparison Shots with the BB58
Looks good, without too much gap between the case and strap, which I worry about with the Black Bays.
Re: Some Comparison Shots with the BB58
Also, the OCIII is a special watch, but dang if the 58 doesn't more than hold its own there, as you said.
Re: Some Comparison Shots with the BB58
I love those BC rubbers too. Thanks for sharing

Re: Some Comparison Shots with the BB58
Love the pics Rob- my first thought when I saw it up close was seems small. Might still get one anyway. Good looking on that rubber...
Thanks for posting...

Dope comparison. I love the BC rubber strap also. It works great on thinner/lighter watches and give them a vintage vibe.

I'm sorry, but I can't see anything other than the BP OC.....

Re: Some Comparison Shots with the BB58
Wow, yeah, what a neat comparison Rob !!! Thanks a lot !
As if the watches weren't unbelievable enough, then you have
the bracelet, and strap side covered from the classic, to cool
as well. Honestly, must be so tough deciding which to enjoy
on any given day !
By the way, those new rubber straps really are spectacular !
They feel vintage, but are new, and different. So cool !!!

Re: Some Comparison Shots with the BB58
Great pics - thanks!
I think the 58 is the perfect size - the 41 in house is just too big and top heavy, imo

No
You actually want a 41 - I know someone who will be selling one soon with a fresh service

Re: Some Comparison Shots with the BB58
I haven't taken my BB58 off the bracelet, but it looks great on that BC. Going to have to get one.
Re: Some Comparison Shots with the BB58
Awesome collection man. I had to ordered that BC strap because of your pics!
