The Dive Watch Connection

Quick snapshot:

Black Bay 58 burgundy
Metas certified, has T-Fit clasp



Black Bay Pro Opaline dial



Black Bay 68
43mm w/ 22mm lugs. Still 200m
Oyster bracelet with no rivets, has T-Fit clasp
Sunray blue dial or silver dial




Pelagos 43mm 1000m diver

Larger dial & hands, redesigned bracelet. Goofy two-color lume like Omega.





I couldn’t get chrono page to load. Apparently the chronographs are now available with either Oyster or 5-link bracelet options. Unfortunately, the Oyster option for chronograph does have the goofy rivets.



All in all, answers to the questions no one is asking.

43mm…. Dinner plates.

Thanks Mike- The 5 link is now available on the chronos..
Still no Big Block….

Meh.

Not a fan..

Polar BB pro is nice imo

Yawn.

Burgundy is sharp, just watched Worn & Wounds video on it, shame it isn't available in a larger size.

I’m glad the T-fit clasp is getting added to more models. But I’d not want any off these at 30% off retail.

Every year I dislike a larger percentage of new watches. This hobby is passing me by, at least for new purchases.

Imagine if they reissued this without changing proportions?

I think the Tudor burgundy looks sharp live…

The white Pro looks good. Don't like any of the others. The 68s aren't bad, but was anyone looking for a 43mm Black Bay?

There's a guy that does a pencil hand mod for the BB54, and I considered doing it until I found out it was $1K. He also offers an acrylic crystal. They look cool, but I've come to terms with the snowflake hand.

I like the Pelagos Ultra and the BB58 burgundy. I like the looks of the BB68 but I don’t think I would want to go to 43mm I think my BB Monochrome at 41mm is perfect not sure why they made a bigger one.

I’ll say it again, if they gave the BB58 the monochrome treatment, they couldn’t take my money fast enough.

If they made the Black Bay Pro Opaline dial 2mm thinner, I'd be a buyer. The bigger versions, not so much.
