For Christ's sake but what's wrong with Tudor? The regular Black Bay used to have clean white markers on the bezel so why did they have to go with gold markers on this one? The perfect everyday watch ruined by tacky gold markers. Unbelievable. They were so close but yet they managed to spoil the design by experimenting with those markers. It's not a two tone, so why bother with it in the first place.

It also doesn't help that the GMT is 41mm instead of just putting it into the 39mm case. Why Tudor? Why?

I hope at least that there will be a way to replace the bezel insert of the 58 with the regular bezel of the Black Bay (adjusted to the smaller size of course).

This works with gold markers.

I will try and get my insert modded in this colour once I get it. Should be sometime around July-Aug this year

Oh yes! This really works. Green and gold would be really amazing. Wish Tudor would've opted for that.

Waiting for the factories to make this rep, I think I'll build myself one using a raffles gold dial, and seiko snowflake hands and movement in a cheap 39mm sub case...

Anyone know how difficult it will be for the factories to get the thickness right on this? I want the 58 so bad, even considering gen, but can't imagine feeling right about 4 grand strapped to my wrist.

I don't mind the golden insert numbers, they compliment the dial text nicely.. Hope to see some news on this soon enough! I don't see the factories getting this down to 12mm or so as per gen. Thinner pieces have been repped :)
