That's a really nice timepiece.

That's a really nice timepiece.
Looks like a homage to the Pulsar Solar Powered Dress Watch, model PX3165X1. £29.99 on HotUKDeals!Nice to see Breitling have released some watches that don't look like someones been sick all over them. Particularly like the pistachio green dial version.

That's a nice looking watch. Looks really good with the rubber strap. Talking of which, did you have to cut it?

Well Tudor have announced their new watches, among which are a few BB58 updates now with display back. The gold one with green dial/bezel is absolutely ugly and costs $16,000 LOL
The pure silver one is actually quite nice and much better at just over $4000.
Sadly the BB58 is no longer the unique and special watch it once was.
Also for this kind of money the movement appears to have no perlage/geneve decoration or other decoration, it is simply plain silver finished which is a major bummer...

It really does suit the rubber strap I think.Unfortunately it does need cutting down. Can't find a suitable tool to remove the spring bars on the clasp at the moment though
May have to take it into the shop to get it done when it opens next week...

Stowa Bronze ordered
What config did you go for?

Nice!
The silver case is extremely appealing! Very unique idea, I like it. I've never really been much of a fan of Tudor, but this is appealing. It's been listed on Beaverbrooks at £3230. The dial looks almost brown in the stock photos, doesn't look great in those photos tbh at all. Assuming it's more so a grey. Would have been better in black dial and black bezel for sure.

Oh you have to be pleased with that, very very nice watch.It's turned up

Yeah the stock photos by Tudor often don't match up to reality I found lol which is weird4. I really like that silver case 58 and also the new grey BB36. I can def see myself with that BB36 in the future too and the price seems bang on.
I went for no date, hand wind (Selita SW215-1) and custom case side engraving "Fl 23883". I've also ordered an olive coloured Hirsch Pure natural rubber strap as the taper matches the strap on the Stowa so I can swap over the buckle. The leather strap Stowa supply is hand made antique leather I am told and they seem to sell it for €75 so I may sell it on as have no interest in leather straps
Really like the fact that it comes with a bronze case back too. I have no skin reaction issues and the CuSn8 bronze used is more resistant to corrosion than other bronzes.
Check out Stowa's take on the SW215-1:
Sadly their stock photos aren't all that either lol.

Just uploaded the latest show covering some of the pieces released yesterday and over the past few days. Also got some guests on to chat about certain things including Adrian from Bark & Jack and Ryan who authored The Wristwatch Handbook.
Have a listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts etc here :

I'm actually really into that! The Pular Homage joke is spot on though, lol.Nice to see Breitling have released some watches that don't look like someones been sick all over them. Particularly like the pistachio green dial version.
The BB58 Silver looks like a cracking watch for the money. Makes me think twice about my BB58 Black (which is an expensive worry
).I know the feeling - finally had my 1.4mm screwdriver arrive so I can adjust the strap on the BB58. I bought one of these for my other straps though, well worth a tenner:Cheers

Summoned up the courage to take the clasp off and cut the strap
Really pleased with it

Perfect fit for you imho, looks great.

Paaaah, want the new Explorer... I nearly bought one of the older 36mm models, this is going to have a negative impact on their values surely!
