I'd do the trade. The snowflake GMT hand throws off the design on that one for me and it lacks inspiration in the color scheme - borrowing from vintage Rolex.

I have the 42 mm Polar Exp II and it's a great watch.

A friend of mine just sold a BB and got a Polar. His opinion is that it was totally worth it. I would agree.

I love the Tudor GMT... but at the same time, I don't think you need more than 1 GMT watch... and the Rolex Explorer II more than does that...

So if you want a Rolex Explorer II then sell the GMT... imo

I would keep the Tudor, it's absolutely gorgeous but of course, I already have a Sub. Do you have a Rolex now?

Have a handful but it's hard to argue any over the BBGMT imo.

I know there are a lot of Tudor fans, but personally, I’d do this trade everday and twice on Sunday.

hagen7 · 5 October 2018, 04:46 AM

Thank you for everyone's comments. Much of the comments are similar to the thoughts I am having plus some. One of the biggest concerns about the Explorer is the lug to lug length which I believe is 50 mm plus approx. 2 mm when add in the end links. I love the tudors but I have to give the edge to the rolex for the bracelet and case height. I prefer the taper, fit and finish of the rolex oyster bracelet over the 22 mm tudor bracelet. Not merely trading for the name since I have other Rolex watches in my collection.

I wouldn't trade them both, TBH. I have found over the years, most of the time a 2 for 1 does not work out well for me. If you were talking about trading for a PM watch, maybe...but, an EXP2? (And I'm as big an EXP2 fan as there is around here) Nope.

affalterbach · 5 October 2018, 10:55 AM

All 3 are great watches but the Tudor 58 and BB GMT are two of the hottest watches out there now. I like the variety of two versus one. My vote is to keep the Tudors.

hagen7 · 6 October 2018, 04:14 AM

Once again, thanks for all the comments. I have decided to keep the 58 and GMT and enjoy them both in rotation with the rest of my collection.

tudorbaja27 · 6 October 2018, 04:49 AM

nope

williamstone · 6 October 2018, 04:56 AM

Nice deal, go get it my friend.

pandrew · 6 October 2018, 05:11 AM

I would Keep the Tudors. More variety. I say this as someone who owns the Exp II

nikesupremedunk · 6 October 2018, 06:21 AM

Would personally rather have 1 Rolex over 2 tudors.

auto4me · 6 October 2018, 06:52 AM

Polar.

dubins930 · 6 October 2018, 07:32 AM

Not a chance. The Tudors have everything going for them, plus you have a GMT and a Diver which is a solid 2 piece collection on its own. Don't let forum people sway you because they think Rolex is "far superior". The only thing Rolex is doing better is the updated steel, other than that Tudor is winning right now. Great choice keeping your Tudors.

Urosfan · 6 October 2018, 07:36 AM

I would do it for the polar if not then keep both

Jonesy2099 · 6 October 2018, 08:08 AM

I’d do the trade. The Explorer II is the better watch in my opinion.
