It was excellent. Makes me want to buy one, except I own a BLNR. 🤷*♂️

I'm in the same boat. The Tudor is a great watch and definitely having its time in the spotlight, but will never replace my BLNR.

While I’m very interested in buying the Rolex Pepsi, I would be very inclined to buy the Tudor and skip the (likely) long wait for the Rolex. When one does eventually become available, I’d gift the Tudor to my stepson.

I think the Tudor GMT has a lot of good attributes, however, the faux rivets bracelet is not one of them. Sadly, it ruins the watch for me.

Great article and vid. Wish Hodinkee would do more

I hope I never tire so much of timepieces that a bracelet ruins a watch for me. Especially when there are other factory options

Great article, want one but I already have a 16710 pepsi and a BLNR. If they make a BB58 GMT I’ll be first in line for one.

Me too. We’re it not for my blnr, I’d be all over this Tudor gmt!

Great article! Thanks for sharing. I want to love this piece. It has some wonderful features. I may end up test driving it sometime. That would be the only way I’d know if I really liked this Tudor. I just picked up another 1675 and am replacing the dial, having the case reworked, etc., to get it back correct. I know that I love Rolex GMTs; just not sure about this one.

I know what you mean. So far the Tudor is feeling very different to my Rolex GMTs (I’m happy to say).

I wasn’t sure about the rivets. I can tell you that they’re beautifully executed. The bracelet feels well made and solid. The only thing it’s missing is an easylink extension.

Deroya · 5 August 2018, 01:08 AM

if only it was the size of the Rolex GMT

ar2151 · 5 August 2018, 01:38 AM

great watch, thanks

RamyAshour · 5 August 2018, 01:48 AM

Looks great! If it had the dimensions of the Black Bay 58 I would consider skipping the wait for the BLRO and get this!

That 1mm extra size can make a difference. With the SkyD is was larger than I like but bearable. The SD43 was just too large with an extra mm. 40 to 41 wouldn't make too much of a difference for me. Actually really happy with the Tudor BB offerings!!! Nice add but pretty fluffy overall, "be sure to take if somewhere far away."

I may be the odd man out here, but I don't even notice the rivets. It's a great bracelet on a great watch.

Great review!

they mean the thickness of of the case.

it doesnt bother me but some people like to find reasons to disparage brands other than rolex.
