Don’t love the lume color, very fauxtina like.

I feel the main strap should be Velcro or something that doesn’t introduce a spring bar into the mix with the FXD…kinda defeats the purpose. Don’t mind it on the rubber straps since that is a secondary option, but for a main strap having a spring bar on an FXD is counter to the design.

Otherwise it’s nice, nothing too surprising, just applying the GMT format to the FXD. Not for me as I’m not a GMT fan but I’m all for expanding the FXD range as I love it and think they did an amazing job designing a modern fixed bar dive watch.

Hideous looking watch. This thing is all over the place.

Bezel just looks too busy to me. I don't hate the dial. Either way not for me.

The color way is not my cup 'of tea but would love to see a blue version. Either way it's always nice to have another option in the Tudor GMT lineup.

Wish Tudor would explore the strategy of moving product vice niche products for niche buyers.

I like the triangle shape of the 24hr hand better than the diamond shape of the BB GMT's. And I'm a fan of Snowflake hands.

Looks great! I’m going to have to check out the lume in person, that would be cool if it was fully lumed dial

Not a fan of the color way, but otherwise like it as a GMT fan, and I have the blue MN FXD.

Interestingly, slightly thinner (12.7mm vs 12.75mm) then the MN FXD.

well damn. had hoped diving/ timing bezel would remain, with a 24hr chapter ring. cool that they got the case slimmed down, though. gives me hope.

Personally, I don't think it works for me. As was pointed out, it's very much a niche product. It's too busy for my tastes.

I like it!

But I already own the black FXD and original GMT so this is a pass.

I like it, don't have a Tudor at all in the collection at the moment.

There are some photos on Tudors site that are with the listed included pin buckle strap cloth strap while others photos show what looks like an all green velcro strap.
They moved away from the velcro on the cycling FXD, I wonder if that will change on the standerd FDX divers in the future.
Surprisingly only 12.7mm thickness according to their website. The 58 GMT is 12.8mm

I like Tudor’s marketing approach of midyear releases and the fact that they are at dealers quickly.
Now if my local dealer could please get me that pink chrono I’ve asked for.

I didn’t need to like a new watch, but I do.

I’d turn that keeper around so the MN logo was on the inside though.

I like GMTs and don't own a Tudor so this one is worth checking out for me.

Cool watch, but that “custard” lume is too funky.

I had not read the specs, (my mistake). Wow, I wonder how they got it so thin? I'm so glad they did. Now make the 41mm BB GMT much thinner PLEASE!!

It would be nice to have a back side photo of it as well. Don't know how they skipped that.
