  • Two watches. Two incredibly similar watches. They share so much alike that they are almost one and the same, dive watches on bracelets accented with the colour blue. Yet, somehow, they couldn’t be more different. They are chalk and cheese, and each one very much has its place. Let’s find out why.

    I'm 50 years old and I remember as a boy coveting the Sub 1680 with its top hat crystal. The whole design seemed so smooth, like a polished pebble, and the very shallow rehaut made the face stand out, but uniform with the lines of the case. The newer subs seem squarer, the face deep-set like the old fakes used to be, and too shiny. As soon as I could, I bought a 1680 single red of 1971 vintage. I love it. As a daily, I bought a BB58 in blue; there is so much in common with the 1680, and of course the old French Navy sub that I also loved. Great video!

Being a child of the 70's I never really bought into the whole big watch thing, and I'm glad that the trend seems to be shifting towards subtlety nowadays. It's probably why I never really liked modern subs...too shiny and too bulky.

    I'm a small business owner that works with other small businesses. Rolex has become something that sends the wrong message, and attracts violent attention to boot. Tudor, Omega, Breitling etc. all deliver enjoyment and a touch of class without being gaudy.

      Same here, small EU business owner, the Rolex sends definitely the wrong message. Depending on the client, I'm wearing a Cartier Tank, a Tudor North Flag, a Sinn 556 mop S, or a Seiko Alpinist, but definitely never a Rolex, people would be starring at it and eventually question my incomes. If those watches are probably good for top business, they are counter productive at my modest level.

      I see your point and it is valid. But important to note that Rolex makes better watches than almost everyone in that RRP price range. The issue is the hype and the grey market prices, which I do believe is not entirely Rolex’s fault.
      But I do agree with your point. I have a rolex Pepsi, but also two BB58s. I find if I want to be more relatable, wear a nice watch, but not attract attention. Then I almost always wear my Tudor’s or Omega.
      I don’t think I will buy another rolex ever again, but I will keep mine until it’s ready to be passed down.

    Back in the 1990’s and early 2000’s, I was really into the watch thing. I had five Rolex models during that period including a stainless Sub and a two-tone in blue. My interests changed and I had an Explorer II with a white dial. I sold it to a friend for a song and then I unfortunately looked up what they were selling for these days. I did this after the fact…. This was a very painful experience. Recently, I got back into collecting watches and decided I would put myself on the waiting list at my local AD. While in the store I looked at a BB Heritage with a burgundy bezel. That evening, I couldn’t get the BB out of my mind. The next day, I went in and purchased it. I absolutely love this watch! It wears perfectly on my wrist and keeps near perfect time. Ironically, I sold that Explorer II to help pay for some tube amplifiers. I also listen to vinyl records almost every day. And yes, I am still on the waiting list for a Rolex…..

    I can only think of 2 reasons to buy a Rolex. 1) Because I want a Rolex. 2) Because I want people to see I have a Rolex.
    There are so many other watches just as good for less, there's literally no rational reason to buy one.

      @@FrostBlackbird See thats not good thinking and I dont mean to be rude when saying it. However how many times have you ran out of battery on your phone? Or when it simply stops working or has issues etc. The watch is sustainable, requires no previous enegery cost than the one used for its manifacturing. It runs on kinetic energy and wont fail your because the battery is low or dead.

      I've had the chance to down both (normal rolex sub) and I picked the BB58. There are so many great watches like you said. Omega for example worth a fraction of the price with arguably mor inovative complications and materials used such as ceramic dials done with lazer and for less. Right now rolex is a status symbol and as such is prices are unreal.

    Am fortunate to own both the blue & OG BB58. Adore them both. 2 completely different looks. I’m also ‘on list’ for a Submariner (no date), NOT to replace the Tudors, but to sit alongside: Vintage & modern across various colour combinations covered - what more is needed for a perfect diver trio set!? In that sense, I guess I’m proof you can like them both!! :-)

  • @danielmadsen9115

    Normally on the submariner cyclops, the antireflective coating has a colorless tint. And fakes are usually spotted by the color of the tint in the antireflective coating. However this model must use different antireflective coating than usual. Can you look into that?

  • @rj-yr4ql

    As an owner of the Tudor BB 58 Blue, I can say without a doubt it looks immensely more beautiful in person than it does in this video, stacked against the Rolex. I live in San Diego and tried every AD in the county and it wasn’t until my current visit to NYC, was I able to find this gem of a watch. It’s becoming ever more rare, especially on the bracelet. Would I love to source a Rolex at retail? You bet but I’m more than happy with the BB58. It is a must for any watch collector who has the coin to purchase an amazing everyday watch. Great review!

    I honestly preferred the look and size of the Tudor. The Rolex looks too bling and the text on the rehaut ring looks naff. Especially when it’s not straight like this one. Old Rolex’s look cool but the new ones are just currency for people who talk about money and values. It’s not a watch enthusiasts brand anymore unfortunately.

    • @wheel1775
      @wheel1775 Před 2 lety +5

      I have to disagree slightly. I think what makes Rolex unique is that they still make tool watches that are usable as they are designed. I have an 114060 Sub, and the new Seamaster. The Seamaster is very nice, but the fit, finish, feel, and function, is definitely below my Sub. The bezel on the Seamaster has very shallow scallops which make it hard to use. The Sub has sharp edges that bite into your fingers. The bracelet on the sub is narrow and comfortable. The Seamaster is wide and bulky. I realize no one is wearing these as actual dive watches anymore but at least the Rolex can still do it. It is unfortunate that most people only care about the name, and don’t care about the small details that make a Rolex special.

    All of that being said, I bought the black BB58 and it has quickly become my favorite watch. It is extremely comfortable. Looks amazing. I enjoy it and that is all that really matters. I bought it for me to enjoy, not for the rest of the world. And I hope to be able to add the blue one soon.

It is a special watch but social media and speculation has dented its ability to be worn as a daily. The other factor most people will never have to contend with is WG is very soft so it scratches quite easily.
