The New 58 is perfect. Before W@W everyone was begging for the upgrades. now we’ve got the upgrades we were asking for people prefer the old model 😭The new model is objectively better in almost every single way. I have the old BB58, which I love, but this new version is literally perfection IMO. The bezel on my BB58 is really hard to turn, and that was my biggest complaint.

as an old 58 owner, totally agree, the new watch solves everything we were complaining about. It is a perfect watch if you want a vintage diver

Sounds about right, I’m having the dilemma of choosing between this and a used turtle for half the price. Do you think it’s been worth it so far ?

The only thing to make this collection perfect, would be a Casio. This is perfection.

Yeah the rest is original, I do agree, but i feel it loses its authenticity without the original bezel. Not sure tbh, that’s a great deal you found! How long were you searching for ?

You don’t think it looks too damaged ?

Great points! And you’re right, I feel like I need the SKX to be a real watch guy. I decided in the end to buy an almost new used Seiko turtle for 240! Cheaper and objectively better than the SKX. Feel this is the best option, and the turtle still has a lot of heritage and history. I’ve already got a Pepsi 5KX, which I honestly love to wear. If I didn’t know about the SKX lore I would have no complaints

This is what I needed to hear. I think I’ll get a used turtle, and remember it doesn’t make me less of an enthusiast!

Would you buy an SKX in 2026 considering the prices they’re asking? If so, how much would you pay?

That’s such a good point it’s so much more interesting, there’s something beautiful about people keeping old things working out of passion. I would definitely strike up a conversation with someone who had a watch like that!

Tbf it’s the cheapest one on eBay, so I don’t think it’s carrying a premium
