Black bay fifty-eight release date?

[MikeAlphaXray]

The gen is available with three different options: bracelet, leather strap and nato strap. For the rep I have not read any details.

I don't hold much hope for the Rep leather and Nato straps. The ZF Nato strap has nice hardware, buckles and retaining collars... but the fabric itself is not like Gen as the weave on the gen is a very special process done by one of the last remaining factories of the art in France.

Any info on whether it will come on both bracelet and cloth strap?

The new gen tudors no longer come with both Bracelet and Nato Strap

You gonna have to post a wristie when you get it

Yes, pretty please

The BB 58 is just what I'm craving for. The size is a welcome change from the steadily getting bigger and bigger cases. It's enough that I'm getting fatter and fatter with age, my watches doesn't have to do the same

:beef:

Haha getting fatter isn’t a bad thing for watch enthusiasts! Maybe one day my wrist will be fat enough for a 45 mm dial!

I agree with you though, the BB58 size is great

Got it in a Rolex AD in Rome.
I was walking, i got in, asked for it, "it has arrived yesterday", can i see it, tryed, paid...
The AD told me that he had to waith 6 months for receiving one...i don't know if it's true or not but i got it fast!

Stunning watch!
Very confortable than the BB heritage(i had it).

Gimme more of that sweet watch-porn

I saw a few brand new on eBay for almost the same price as retail (from a watch seller) so I think it might not be as hard to get as people think. Same with the gmt, I think the craze is over now. I could be wrong but if someone wants the gen, they should go to their local ad and try it out.

I might get one if they come out with one with a date. Otherwise, I'll try out the rep when it comes out.

Just received the call from my Rolex AD - they've got a BB58 - and it's reserved for me!

Can't wait! :thumbsup:

I want the 58 but resale prices is killing it.

I assume they'll put an Asian ETA clone in the rep? I wish they'd make a 70hr PR in the reps lol

 

[FiliGelli]

Congrats Fili

Thanks buddy

I would be over the moon if it came with a riveted bracelet

The riveted bracelet sparked a lot of controversies. I actually like it, and wonder if ZF will actually include those...

I cannot imagine that ZF will release the fifty eight without the rivet bracelet. They already nailed the rivet bracelet for the Shield BB 79230 so it's not a far cry for the 58.
