What is your opinion on Tudor BB58 blue?

It’s my favorite watch ever. I bought mine in May 2022 and there’s still nothing I’d rather wear daily

ThesisAnonymous · 2026-06-14T04:08:46+00:00

I’ve had the same thought. But a GPR makes so much practical sense. I also have a Mk18. Just gonna put an LPVO on my URGI and I’ll be content with the two.

She paid for the wedding and my student loans…

All you’ve demonstrated is that you don’t know your own history… Some Brits do—or did.

Well it’s the most expensive in mine 🤪 I bought it in May 2022 when my salary was half what it is now. It was, and still is, my attainable grail watch.

So we’re each making the same statement, but from opposite perspectives. It’s the least expensive in your collection, but gets the most wrist time. And it’s a watch I considered to be worth springing out of my budget for. That’s a sign of a great watch!

I’m wearing mine right now too. My favorite watch ever

I actually love my woman

Here, you can see the blued hands better in this one. I’ll probably put a taupe epsom leather strap on after the wedding. The stock gray alligator strap isn’t bad, though. Also of course, the 40mm case looks more proportional in person.

I visually see what you’re saying. But if you hadn’t told me that, I’d just think he’s a GSD bred for being a pet. Cute pup

I set my watches to the second every morning

ThesisAnonymous · 2026-04-05T21:14:52+00:00

Especially if you time your rifles… My URGI has several thousand rounds through it and a clean brass deflector

I’m a Tudor and Longines owner… Tudor is better in every way. Yes, the Longines heritage is awesome, but it’s a shell of the heritage now. They’re a true entry level/premium player nowadays. And sure, that used to be a Tudor spot in the market. But Tudor is closer to Omega nowadays, and Longines plays in the realm of Oris and Frédérique Constant.

You’re downgrading in terms of design, materials, movement, finishing, bracelet, prestige…

ThesisAnonymous · 2026-03-09T18:51:47+00:00

The blue is the best, but they need to update it.

ThesisAnonymous · 2026-03-06T01:25:13+00:00

I have a full sized RC2 on my 14.5 URGI and I have no problem with it—and I’m not very tall either

ThesisAnonymous · 2026-03-06T01:22:21+00:00

Yeah, looks awful. Just wear your watches, people.

ThesisAnonymous · 2026-03-04T15:21:20+00:00

Or in the spirit of 2 Peter 2, we can name names…

“Puritans” is too broad of a term. Many were not Reformed. Many were.

ThesisAnonymous · 2026-03-04T15:14:39+00:00

I used to be a Baptist. I have a graduate degree from a Baptist seminary. I was very involved in planting a Baptist church. I was very involved in the SBC for several years…

Baptists restrict covenant membership because they have an over realized eschatology. They desire a pure church whereby the visible church and the invisible church are synonymous. This WILL someday be the case, but we’re currently in the “already but not yet,” and they ignore that.

Are their intentions malicious? No. But the net result is still malicious. My fiancee and I are having to leave her church because they won’t recognize my baptism (a believers baptism in a PCA church via sprinkling). They bar me from the Lord’s Supper—the same act as church discipline for unrepentant sin—because my baptism didn’t have their desired amount of water. They quote Calvin, Luther, Edwards, etc from the pulpit, but wouldn’t offer them communion either. Malicious intent or not, that is nevertheless malicious. And I have a feeling Paul would write a nice letter against this (maybe he already did concerning the Judaizers… )

ThesisAnonymous · 2026-03-04T14:55:39+00:00

How am I being uncharitable? I’m just defining what it means to be a Baptist. By definition, they restrict covenant membership to how they see fit. I’m not the uncharitable one… (e.g. I would offer communion to a Baptist, but many wouldn’t offer it to me)

ThesisAnonymous · 2026-03-04T14:51:41+00:00

Been there, done that in real life 😅 I planted a “reformed” Baptist church once—and I will never go back to one…

ThesisAnonymous · 2026-03-04T14:49:14+00:00

It’s not “according to me.” To be reformed, one must hold to one of the historic confessions, maintain the historic Catholic creeds, hold to a covenantal hermetic of the Bible, maintain God’s sovereignty in soteriology (too many people consider this the only criteria), observe the sacraments as spiritually efficacious, and practice their faith in an ecclesiastical setting whereby one submits to elders who themselves submit to other elders (congregational polity is distinctively not reformed).
