I bought my first black bay 58 in 2018. Had buyers remorse and sold it. Ever since I’ve regretted that decision and knew that it would be mine one day again.

Recently I purchased one, which had a seconds hand that was too long. I suspected it might be a fake, but it wasn’t upon checking the movement. It also had the proper texture dial and “lock” at 12.

However, I was not satisfied and exchanged it for a new one with the proper length hand. Never seen such a defect on it before. I think they might have put a 41 mm seconds hand on it. Very strange indeed!

Anyway, it’s back in the collection and I still just adore it. The only issue I have, is that I don’t want to wear my other watches It has only lost 2 seconds in over 1 week, which is quite spectacular and well within specs.

I know you’ve all seen this watch a million times, but I tried to find an angle you don’t see as often perhaps. Thanks for reading watch fam.

PS. I have a post showing the watch with the long hand, if you are curious.

Have a great day!
