"Poor mans Rolex" is just a holdover from when Tudor and Rolex were the same watch with different prices.

Tudor of today is a stand alone brand and is nothing like Rolex. Those who still parrot "poor man's Rolex" are just showing their ignorance.....and are missing out on some great watches to boot

[QUOTE=samson66;9407768]I can definitely confirm this. See mine below. This is why I have said in other threads that in appearance, the GMT LOOKS thinner than the ETA Black Bays even though it is actually about 2mm thicker. This little detail makes a HUGE difference in how the sides of the case look. I hope they add this to the entire Black Bay 41 lineup.

Thank you for sharing. That is indeed different to the BB ETA variations. That looks great. I am inn!
