Pros - perfect size, big power reserve, super accurate, anti-magnetic, strap monster, great bezel action.
Cons - faux rivets, I guess (although I never notice them when wearing the watch), no “on the fly adjustment”, some might say it’s a bit boring, bit too shiny when brand new.
Alternatives? I’d get a vintage Tudor sub if I could afford it. Cheaper... no idea really. SPB147 maybe, although to me there is an huge gap in quality between this and the BB58, you know... the case finish, movement feel, bracelet etc...
BB58 really is a great watch. We already have a few on the forum.
