Today I've been given the opportunity to buy any of the following for the same price 58 on bracelet, GMT on leather strap or the GMT on NATO. The 58 is amazing and so is the GMT but I'd want that on a bracelet if possible.

Leaning towards the 58 but I can't get the GMT on leather out of my head. Anyone know if a black bay bracelet will fit the GMT?

Yes, it will. I think there is a thread on here where someone has done so.

I'd get the 58. I prefer it to the Tudor GMT. Plus I prefer a bracelet over a leather strap.

I would go for the GMT...one of my favorite releases at Basel this year. Looking at picking one up either at the end of this year or next. Still kinda torn on the leather vs. the bracelet option myself.

I do believe the BB bracelet will fit it, but wouldn't swear to it.

GMT for me, I'd want it on both so make sure its viable.

Vote for the GMT. I have mine on a BB bracelet (non rivets, fits perfectly) and leather with deployent in case I ever choose to put it on. Doubtful.

I sold my BB eta non rivet bracelet to a member who put it on his in house BB who said they are interchangeable with all 22mm Tudors but I'd suggest you get the bracelet from the start.

I would go GMT.
If you have to have a bracelet there are really good aftermarket ones until you can afford the real thing.

Totally fits, have at it.

I think the 58 is slick, but I fell for the GMT when given the choice. Its just such a nice piece. Good luck!

GMT has all the bells and whistles and it's a nice size watch at 41mm
Also with Tudor your always better getting the bracelet when buying as separate bracelets are around £700+

Trust me.. you wont regret getting the GMT on leather stra. I had the option to choose between the leather and bracelet, the bracelet to me felt cheap and I hated the rivats.

The leather on the other hand is good quality and the metal clasp is good quality as well, and interchangeable with other leather straps in the future.

wearing mine everyday now with either tees and jeans or full suit :)

and.. I think the build quality for the older non rivet bracelet on tudor BBs are better quality than the new bracelets..
