Incoming!!! Tudor GMT, Opaline dial and Jubilee Bracelet

I recently purchased the opaline dial GMT from my AD. The Tudor oyster bracelets with the faux rivets have never done anything for me which is why my other two Tudors are on leather straps. That being said, I think the opaline dial looks best with a bracelet. So I ordered an Uncle Seiko jubilee with polished center links and the option to use the original Tudor clasp with it. I really wanted to be able to use the Tudor clasp which is one of the deciding factors for going with the Uncle Seiko. It has truly transformed the look of the watch! The quality of the bracelet is great. The brushed portions of the bracelet matches the brushed portions on the watch to a tee although is hard to see in pictures.

It looks gorgeous with the jubilee and the polished center links are a great transition to the Tudor clasp and the polished sides of the watch case. Pictures really don't do the combo any justice.

Very nice. I own the Reverse Panda. I don't have any issues with the Tudor bracelet, but I must admit, the Uncle Seiko looks really good!

It surprises me that you can get the Jubilee on so many Black Bays, but not the opaline GMT

Tudor- Just do it!

Looks decent. I hope that now they’ve released on the BB diver it’ll make its way to other models - preferably with more adjustment

Well done & congrats, Dave!

While I love the OEM rivet, I too added a US jubilee, but opted for the brushed center links. Nice to have options available.

Superb the way you can use the original Tudor clasp with it.

Greate post. I also went for the US Jubilee a while back, but I had no love for their clasp.
I recently got the add-on link to enable use of the Tudor clasp and this was tranformational to the whole result.

Thanks! As I said in my original post, the pictures really don't do it any justice. If you like the pics, you would really like how it looks in person.

I have one on order, but in the UK, Tudor seem to be acting like Rolex,and finding it hard to find one for me.

Congrats! I tried the uncle seiko jubilee on my Tudor gmt. I didn’t like it. Felt cheap. Changed it back after a day but it did look great

I felt the same way about the Uncle Seiko. For me it was the clasp. Once I was able to put the Tudor clasp on it, the whole feel changed.

Wow! Stunning. I too recently got the same watch, not loving the OEM bracelet, switched to the OEM NATO strap, a bit top heavy for the NATO. So, this looks like an excellent option. Thanks for sharing this.
