What time is it? Watches and horology

Exactly, thanks.

Wow, stunning! I literally laughed out loud when I saw that. Added to my lottery win list :)

I actually quite like the OP coloured bubbles release.

But then generally I dislike the OP on aesthetic grounds and any "funky" dial variant still has those hands obscuring it :'-(

I really like the OP hands…

Hey, if it's the sort of thing you like, it's the sort of thing you'll like. No judgement.

It's a personal thing!

It really isn't! In the videos they put out it looked double take thin to me. Agree on the rivets still.

I’d be happy to be wrong. All BB to date have been horribly thick.

Just saw b&j vid saying its a mil thinner or something

You think the BB58 is 'horribly thick'? Even I, who has small wrists and hates slabs, thought it was really, really reasonable.

yeah dead niiiiiiiice

The BB54 is lovely...

Extremely first world topic. I got a really nice 30.5 mm speedking 6430 for my 21st which my dad got for his 21st and could never wear due to size. Posted about it a few years back. Box and papers from the 70s too. I wear it maybe 4x a year max and going to give it to my sister who it looks much better on. Kind of gutted as I now won't have a nice watch and can't afford what I'd like which is a 36mm explorer.. but I know she will get more use out of it.

The BB54 may replace it.

Fair enough, 30,5 is too small

Check out the updated BB36 too. A bit more Explorer-ish than the 54 maybe.

I saw a silver dial 36 on someone’s wrist a few months back and honestly it looked like an Oyster Perpetual at first.

current thoughts of its replacement:

vintage tudor, 36mm ish
BB58 blue
BB54
34mm air king, like a 14010m
pelagos 39

this one?

You think the BB58 is 'horribly thick'? Even I, who has small wrists and hates slabs, thought it was really, really reasonable.

100%, it was incredibly wearable, with a MN strap, it pretty much disappear on your wrist.

The 41mm was very slabby.

@regal when did that happen?
Tried the one before, with the sticky out crown, and it wasn't convincing.

Just saw that vid as well and i love that white dial pepsi gmt. Why did they not do this sooner? as this one is only a new dial rather than a new model

Lovely indeed

That's the brand new one - I saw the previous version which had more of an Oyster style bracelet and a more silver dial (not so champagne). Blue seems like it might be the nicest of the new ones. They do seem to be more Datejust-y now with the jubilee style bracelet. Be a shame if they stopped offering them on a brushed Oyster.

I guess there will still be some selling through at retailers for a while, and they'll definitely be cheaper than the new ones.

@regal when did that happen?

The sighting or the update to the watches? Update happened today, it's the first day of the big Geneva watch show.

Ahh. Thought I was way behind, phew.
That one above is what I tried. Felt a bit chubby.
Not that into the new bracelet unfortunately.

Any suggestions/recommendations for a 25th wedding anniversary watch for someone very petite?
