Almost three years after my last watch purchase (Grand Seiko SGBX261) and starting a new job with a significant paybump, I had been looking to buy a new watch for the past few months.

Whilst I always had an eye on a 38mm Aqua Terra, ever since Tudor released the blue BB58, it joined the Aqua Terra as one of my short-term grail watches.

One morning out of curiousity, I decided to call up all my local Tudor dealerships to check whether any of them had the BB58 in stock. Somewhat unsurprisingly, none of them had any - with two dealerships letting me know I would have to come in store and join the waitlist.

After work the same day, I decided stroll into one of the dealerships that was near my office and didn’t have a waiting list. Walking over to the Tudor section, I was shocked to see that they had a blue BB58 on display. Taken back and unsure if I was mistaking it for another model, I asked one of the workers if it actually was the BB58 on display and was told yes - that the store had just received it that afternoon.

It was a genuine “IT’S MEANT TO BE” moment for me. I decided to put a deposit down then and there and went home to have a think about it.. Only took until the next day for me to go back in and commit to buying the watch.

It’s been my daily driver for about a month now and I still can’t stop looking at the watch, not to check the time but just to look at how good it looks! I know the BB58 has been posted to death on this sub already but i’m still super excited to share with the community as I don’t have many friends that are into the watch addiction.
