Its the thinness of the 58 that has got my smaller wristed watch collecting friends excited.
The Black Bay 58 is as close to a perfectly proportioned watch as you get imho. I really love my 79220n though.

TBH the thickness of modern watches, especially dive watches, is a bit of a pet peeve.
I get it with something like a Deepsea, which is all about testing the limits. But otherwise, why are they all so thick? To hit a +200m depth more easily? <13mm is a nice height for a sports watch, and something like the Tudor GMT at 15mm just seems way too high...
...but maybe it's just because I wear shirts most days.
@ejay2.0 - sorry didn't realise it was your personal one, and I wasn't trying to be mean.

Right, and it makes the Seamaster look butters.
Definitely shows why Omega divers aren't popular.
My 2p, the Black Bay 58 is on-point. Case size may be a preference thing, but imo thickness/thinness shows some proper thought and investment.
