100% the 39mm. It’s slimmer, lighter and looks better in person. There’s a reason why 39mm always out of stock in the ADs

Thats kinda true too. I myself have a rather small wrist. I tried the 41mm on but it seem abit too big for my liking. Also quite bulky! Quite amazed by how just 2mm can make such huge difference..
Post by: Junny on October 23, 2021, 06:21:08 PM
Personally i prefer the 39mm too because of the slimmer case as well… but I can understand for those with bigger wrists the 41mm may be a better fit. But then again I also wear a 44mm Panerai and yet love the BB58.

Oh and @dpkong, I did a lil coverage within another thread on this here
https://www.malaysiawatchforum.com/index.php?topic=22368.125 (https://www.malaysiawatchforum.com/index.php?topic=22368.125)
Bought the strap from Strapcode - brought it in from HK. paid about +/- RM600 shipped. personally, I love this bracelet in terms of the looks vs the original faux rivets. Of course, the finish is not as refined as the original, but acceptable and the fine adjustments is a plus!
Post by: pleasuresaurus on October 24, 2021, 10:36:01 PM
If there's one thing I like about the 58, it's a veritable strap monster. This thing is up there with the best of them, like the Moonwatch and Submariner, when it comes to strap options. It just stays fresh-looking all the time.

I love the look of the BB58 but it wears very small on my wrist. I can only admire the watch from afar.
sorry G.MAC missed your reply! ahh yeah but still you have the 41mm option right! hahahah..
Post by: bulletnos on October 25, 2021, 08:46:26 PM
@bulletnos yeah maybe i should start looking at more strap alternatives too! i quite like the rivet-less strap tho!

Yes yes! Many possibilities with the bb58…!

But wait, there's even more racun! Uncle Seiko has a new range of bracelets for the 58 as well, a Jubilee and President style, along with additional half links to help with more accurate sizing.

Depends on your preference.
Post by: bulletnos on November 25, 2021, 03:09:04 PM
Its personal, to me, 39mm is an elegant size. I am not elegant, hence I prefer 41mm and above :DLol
Depends on your preference.
Well, in case ur concerned about size, dont have to be - I for one use a 44mm PAM90 that fits my size (IMO) - and wear the 39mm BB58 with ease as well…

I have one BB58 with the black dial. 1 year on my relationship with it is more like love-hate lol. I mean it’s a great watch but kinda boring at the same time
A few years on now, I have the same opinion as you. Proportionally it is beautiful but it looks really boring after a while.

I guess it also depends on what other watches each has on rotation. If the BB58 is the main beater - then certainly a good one imo! But If you already rotate with other favourites...then that BB58 may just sit in the winder. Happened to me. But I still love the watch - doesn't make it any less desirable!

while many do not agree with this article, I must say the author got so many points correct.
myself only find the blue Pelagos interesting because I am drawn to blue, the watch is big but titanium makes it lighter, the bracelet is the only one without the annoying rivets and comes with that innovative clasp, lume is nice (bezel has lume too) and it has a date. it's a great beater watch indeed.
now if only they made the chronos like they did before, the Tiger (Prince Date) chrono....
Post by: W3ll on May 11, 2022, 02:50:32 PM
Is it true that the we need to be in the VIP list to get a steel bracelet BB58 nowadays? I've been calling the AD every few weeks for the past few months, but still can't get my hands on 1 :HammerHead:
Which AD? Just go watatime easily purchase in 1-2 mnths
Post by: dualcarb on May 11, 2022, 08:26:23 PM
While I somewhat agree with this article. I also have to say that there are many merits to this watch. Watches are boring for a reason. And that reason is what makes it stand the test of time. When a dive watch is mentioned, the first watch that usually comes to mind is a Rolex submariner. The most copied (2nd most copied, I think the datejust is the most copied) and the most boring of all sports watches. Black and steel…how boring can that be? It’s so boring that Rolex had to start introducing a touch of colour to the watch to give it some variety. (1680 red, 16610LV, 116610LV, 126610LV).

I’m a boring person, so I’ll stick to boring watches.
Now back to the Black Bay…I don’t think it’s boring.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220511/c355ecec8e6a04cdafae7f0de82f19ba.jpg)
In fact it’s soooooo different compared to the submariner. It’s got a red triangle, gilt hands and minute markers.
The bracelet does not taper as much as the submariner

And hey…it’s true to its original design of having “rivets”
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220511/814a9677872323a8627337cdd5b6b5c4.jpg)
And the clasp is comfortable too…
I also like the slightly domed crystal. And the play of light when it’s in the sun.

I have a small six and a half inch wrist. So this watch really wears well and slips under the cuff of my shirts.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220511/9787a9d96b230c5c6dcfea06d3946093.jpg)
I wear everything from a 37mm watch to a 44mm watch.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220511/7883fac35211f09a20e676a08d77ce63.jpg)
That said, I think that the black bay 58 sits perfectly in the middle. A comfortable, easy to wear and best of all, no date watch. Even if I don’t wear it for a while, I just have to wind it up, set the time and go…I’m leaning towards smaller, time only watches these days. So to each his own. Some may find this watch boring, so be it…everyone is entitled to their own opinions. No wrongs and no rights here. Everyone has a certain preference at a certain point in their watch loving timelines. This is my timeline, my preference at this present moment. You have to find out what is yours through trial and error.
Most importantly, enjoy your journey…make lots of like minded, watch loving friends along the way. And share your journey so that we may all appreciate how similar or how different our paths can be.

The case isn’t too thick, just nice enough to ride under cuffs. Many people seem to forget just not too long ago gentleman size for Datejust was only 36mm, and men like Mohammad Ali had no issues wearing a 24mm (?) Cartier Tank.
I prefer the blue over the black over its fauxtina, but I do fancy that red triangle on the bezel. A bit pop of color.
Post by: qhy500 on January 10, 2023, 10:11:35 PM
Not sure why but I prefer the blue, maybe the fuaxtina trend is getting boring.
Also tried on the Pelagos 39 to compare against the BB58, it's got its own pros vs BB58 but the dial actually makes the watch a 40mm, so it wears bigger on the wrist and can be quite noticeable on smaller wrists like mine.
Post by: avaxis on January 11, 2023, 03:34:52 PM
From that front I think the BB58 is still the better deal than the Pelagos 39.

Post by: dpkong on January 13, 2023, 09:41:03 AM
The BB58 has a much nicer color palete too, vs the pelagos.
I like blue.... I like the BB58 blue... but it can't beat the blue on the Pelagos
:Cheers:
Post by: qhy500 on January 14, 2023, 12:40:49 PM
As for colour options, I'm sure in the next few years they'll introduce more colour choices, similar to what they've done with the BB58 line.
But having said all that, just the proportion of the BB58 alone makes me a bigger fan of it vs the pelages 39
