BB GMT. Freakishly accurate, beautiful vintage aesthetic, modern solid construction, with all the functions a traveler could want.

Agree with Dan. I love my GMT.

Hard to beat a Black Bay! Love my Bronze

Really enjoy the feel, fit and function of my BB Heritage (see avatar).

When things re-open and it becomes more readily available through my AD, have targeted the GMT for my next watch. Wanted to wait, as there were some early production issues reported with the new movement. Those seem to have been pretty well sorted.

johnorpheus · 3 May 2020, 03:25 AM

Same as you, OP. Had this one for about three weeks now and couldn't love it more. Was planning on getting a ND Sub at some point, but this has satisfied my desire for a SS companion to my TT Sub (my next watch will be a hefty diver, likely an Omega PO or Pelagos). Love the aesthetics of the entire watch, and love the dark blue bezel, which is actually what led me to go with this over the sub.

Amochosto · 3 May 2020, 03:42 AM

It has a macho watch from the 1970s vibe although I’m sure not many were wearing watches this big back then. Timekeeping accuracy is just about as good as any other mechanical watch I have owned. The “faux patina” works on this watch, better than the normal white no patina dials IMO.

On the negative side, I find the length of the hands don’t make much sense, (minute hand is too long) and reinstalling the bracelet after putting on the NATO is almost impossible for me.

I also have this one (not a Black Bay) which is also too fun, and with 150m water resistance, Chrono and a rotating 12 hour bezel, can basically be used as a “poor man’s” air land and sea, all in One watch. And the bracelet is easy to change.....

I always liked the blue bezel and came across a Bucherer. For the uninitiated that’s a bronze watch with a blue bezel. I liked the bronze so much I bought a bronze now I have 2.
I have also owned and sold a S&G, a GMT, a Harrods and a red bezel which I have sellers remorse for.

Probably my most worn watch of last 10 years. Had others that are more eye catching, sought after, expensive, etc etc ... but for every day & wear anywhere .. this can’t be beaten

Hi everyone. I currently own the BB Black ETA and would like to know your opinion if this watch is too similar in overall appearance to BB58?

They're so similar there'd be no point owning both (unless you were trying to get one of every model in the collection)

Disregard, I found it...

garbanzo · 3 May 2020, 05:58 AM

This was my daily for four and a half years, a lovely watch to wear and to look at. Purchased it at Tourneau Madison Ave store so it is kind of a souvenir from a town where I spent a couple of great years

Had it serviced last year and now it is mostly retired but still an important watch in my collection.

Britus · 3 May 2020, 06:40 AM

Picked up first Tudor year or so ago. Impressed with quality, and Pantina coming along nicely. Gets more wear than I expected in my collection, love it as so different.
