A buddy of mine point that out and I think it explains why I’m not crazy about it but couldn’t put my finger on why.

Some will hate it because of the crown, the rivets, no cyclops, stainless clasp etc, but I think it's great. The price-point is real bonus too, well played Tudor

A bonus? 5270 euro is a ridiculous amount for a gold capped Tudor, come on now.

For the same amount you can get a Rolex OP (yeah yeah, if you can get one). It's a Rolex and a better watch.

I think it’s a good looking watch. A Tudor interpretation of the original Rolex root beer GMT.



Solid gold bezel, solid gold crown, first 2 links of bracelet are solid gold, remainder of links gold capped (not plated).

The crown is capped gold, not solid gold.

Yea Alexander on watchadvisor just did a hands on today. He’s very thorough on his review.

Gold weight wise not a big difference but I do not like capped crowns. Had a capped crown watch before and the cap popped right off. Imagine that.

It's a hard pass from me.

1) Doesn't hold a candle to the Rolex version.
2) I really don't think it looks nice.

Came to say the same thing. It was a nice subtle/not so subtle brag attempt...

Wasn't meant as a flex. If it was I would have posted all my precious metal pictures up lol
I just grabbed the first couple of pictures from my image hosting site.
Sorry if the pictures were offensive. I promise to day better

Moving back onto topic, the Tudor looks horrible. As ever they introduce some nice pieces and some horrendous pile of s**t.

And that's coming from a Tudor fan who is sitting here wearing a Pelagos.

Beautiful watch.

Look at that crown digging in to your arm, though...what if there was a GMT with the crown on the other side so that wouldn't happen?

As someone above said, nice “flex”.

Useful observations and direct relevance to this thread?

To be fair, whether it holds a candle to the Rolex version wasn’t really the question.

It was a simple ‘does anyone like the new Tudor root beer’

Not ‘is the new Tudor root beer as good as the Rolex version’

It really captures the vibe of the vintage models with the colours.

I really like it.

Not crazy about the TT bracelet but think the black strap or even the nato really suits it.

People saying it’s not as good as the Rolex version - maybe not but at around a quarter of the price, I wouldn’t expect it to be!

It’s a yes from me
