Can someone link some TDs selling this model. Looks great but cant pinpoint the exact version. Does Intime have it, I have bought from them successfully in the past

I'm not the one who originally asked for this comparison but thank you it was very helpful! I have a pretty similar SKX mod but I ended up disappointed as I just don't think my mod works with the case shape of the SKX.

Will be picking up a ZF BB58 and reverting the skx back to patina'd OEM parts, thanks again.

My mistake. I was multitasking when making the post. Im honestly thinking of something very similar with the SKX. Even though I've done some sub-mods, it still doesnt look like a submariner!

Second opinion required please. I’m tempted to accept this despite the wonky 9 marker on the basis it won’t be noticeable in the metal. Does anyone else have one with similar imperfections? Do you notice it? Any other thought? Thanks.

Hmm ..looking again, it really is quite wonky. Doesn’t help that 3 o clock is slightly off in the opposite direction.

Yeah, the more I’m looking at it and thinking about it, I can’t really see any way I can accept it. Just don’t want to be difficult! haha.

Mine has a similar 9 marker.. maybe slightly better. Truth be told I do notice it when inspecting the dial. When checking the time I hardly notice it. I've handed it to a friend with an interest in reps and he didnt notice it.

Ive grown to accept it the way it is. Only accept if you think it wont bother you. Just know that it will be noticable.

Hey everyone,

Are the case measurements for this watch accurate to gen spec? I would be eternally grateful if someone could measure the lug to lug and thickness of the rep.

​​​​​​Reason being is that my paltry wrists measure 6.2 inches so if its larger than the gen, it would be a no go.

I've checked all TDs today.
Found out asian7750 sell it cheaper than any TDs.
I don't know why they sell cheaper, i tough they was agreeing to set the same price between them.

Just got these BB58 QC pics from Chazing, but I feel that the 6:00 marker is not aligned properly and the symmetry of the watch is also off. Am I expecting too much? Should reps be symmetrical?



In the pic below, the middle of the markers do not line up with the marker directly across

Also, is this orange underlay supposed to be there?

A few more QC pics.

These Tudors do suffer from this, I’ve seen it on the harrods and gmt too. Just highlight and request another.

Their list price is only a $10 difference, and some TD's charge different amounts for shipping/etc. so most of the time it ends up being about the same total amount.

All the ZF BB 58s are suffering from 12, 3, 6, 9 marker alignment. Yours looks minimal to me. You won’t notice it on the wrist.

The orange underlay you mention looks to be a trick of the light.

Here’s are a couple of shots of mine.
