Black Bay 58

Got my qc and seems not bad, I am concerned with the pearl alignment
What do you think about it?

fabbe79 to me the pearl looks fine. Personally the lume difference would bother me.

Strange that in the last sample there is still this issue

That’s the old version from the first batch. I would request the latest version with the better lume match between dial and hands.
Here’s mine, from PureTime for reference.

... forgot to mention, the crown and tube height is much improved too on the latest version.

So it's safe now to order the BB 58?

Any issues left except the lume color and misaligned markers?

Is the time and watch setting actually like gen or ccw?

I’m pleased with mine. Everything works as it should I.e. bezel, bracelet clasp. Time keeping is spot on too.
It still pays to check your QC shots carefully. I rejected the first 2 watches offered. The one I accepted isn’t perfect either. But if you’re looking for perfection, nothing less than gen will satisfy.

The only other flaw is is the tube is just a tad longer than gen. Not something anybody will ever notice though. I'd say it's safe to order, I just ordered one myself.

Such a beautiful piece.

New hands matches the hour markers.

Any idea where to find (cheap rep one) tudor buckle system for put a leather strap on?

Something like that, it was sold for 15usd in the past. Maybe it's not compatible for the bb58, i don't know.
Maybe you don't commend this buckle system.
Any help would be much appreciated and if you have any links to share it's welcome too, thanks

That system would be too big unless you figured out what it tapered to and then made sure you bought a strap that had the same bottom taper.

Yes you've 100% right, also figured out it was a 20mm and not a 22mm.
I guess it gonna be difficult to find 20mm tudor simple clasp for a generic leather band.

 

[KSolid21]

If it tapers down to 18mm or 20mm you could probably find a leather strap that tapers to 18 or a straight 20mm strap
