I finally made my first "big" watch purchase and bought a Black Bay 58 last week. I could not love it more.

Long term ownership reviews are in many ways more useful than the usual reviews in just about any product type

I appreciate how Teddy can talk about his collection without sounding pretentious.

Tudor needs to offer the T fit clasp on all their models.

I bought mine 4.5 years ago, the only downside is that I haven't really worn any other watch since. It beat my Explorer 1 as my daily watch and my Sinn EZMs as my holiday and adventure watch and my casio as my casio watch....

I purchased my BB58 Blue in August 2021, one year after its release. I still love this watch and wear it frequently. The shade of blue is perfect and looks great with denim. As you say, it has already become a modern classic. I will never sell mine and will hand it down to my son as a vintage collectible.

Wow. I start my ‘luxury’ collection exactly 5 years ago from today with the Blue Black Bay 58. What a coincidence. Now I have Rolex, Tag Heuer, JLC, Oris, Omega. Really enjoy the journey.

Teddy absolutely you should make a print version of the Top 40 watches book! I actually printed the whole thing and bound it myself to keep on the table in the living room.

Teddy rocks a chore coat like no one else

My BB58 still feels as special as it did when I got it to mark my 30th birthday and I love it. The lack of adjustment did bother me but with the addition of the steelreef micro adjustment (I proudly added myself) to the bracelet, it made it perfect.

Always enjoy seeing snippets into Teddy’s personal collection!

1:09 surely you should make the physical copy of the book.

120 clicks?! You must have a special model there, Teddy! 😉

1:21 watch guys are also coffee table book guys. You will sell out if you publish it.

Love this style of personal retrospective, I think that question of ‘would I buy this now?’ is universal for all collectors, so it’s fun to see it talked about here with the pros and cons

Got the same watch during covid (2022) on the blue leather strap, the proportions sold it for me, really enjoy it. Like you I’d never sell

Would love a hard copy of that book

I got a bb58 blue when my son was born in ‘22. Love it and it’s my default. I used an uncle seiko half link and steel reef easy link. Made the comfort perfect. Don’t need the t fit anymore. Might add in the 5 link bracelet down the road but it’s not super necessary

On december 22, 1995, my parents gave me, on my 21st birthday, a omega seamster diver 300m. The Watch had been early that year presented in 007 Golden Eye.
Its a Quartz movement as the one in the movie and, almost 30 years later, several services in Omega, marriage, two kids, divorce, trips through the world, work, its the one i love most. I have another watches…. Some of them more valueble but theres no love like the first one! So… my advice… buy your kids one… mine will have one for sure… it doesnt have to Be a expensive one… they will always remember the moment…
