Thanks again guys!

I received a call this morning from my usual AD advising they’ve managed to source me one... Too late, you’ve lost this sale!

Fantastic watch. Took a few “Me” moments at work today just so that I could see it under different lighting. Office, kitchen, toilet, reception, conference room and play area.

This watch really is something else!

Congrats it’s a great piece, I’ve enjoyed mine over the last couple of months myself. Now if I could only manage to find the sweet spot in the bracket adjustment.

I hear you, it’s difficult with no micro adjustment at your fingertips. Thankfully, mine is perfect!

Very nice pickup. I notice Tudor seems to get more traction in UK than in the US, or maybe that's just my view.

I was never really sure what to think about Tudor, but I have started to come around. With their new in-house movements with some features even higher tech than Rolex, they are really hitting stride. Some of their watches might seem a little confused, but others are amazing (like yours) and a blue Pelagos I tried on last night.

I do love this watch. I feel confident in saying my next purchase will either be the 58 or a Sub C. The only thing that concerns me about the 58 is the bracelet. While I’ve never actually had the 58 on my wrist, I am sure I have been spoiled to an extent by the oyster bracelet on my 214270. The weight, the comfort, the clasp, the easy link...it is a marvel.

The aesthetics of the 58 knock it out of the park. The big question for me is how it will feel on my wrist.

Tudor is Rolex's cooler, younger brother that rides a motorcycle and wears a leather jacket.

I’m in agreement, had they not introduced this I definitely wouldn’t have bought one.

I have a BLNR and LVc too... As comfortable as they are, they don’t have a patch on this. Thankfully for me, I hardly use the glidelock or easy link as the fit is perfect . The weight of this piece is pretty much nothing.

One thing I will say again, people that need to constantly adjust the bracelet may find this as a negative because of the lack of “instant “ micro adjustment. I’m not one of them.

Well, that's a good question. I was just at my AD today and he still hasn't seen one. We both were thinking that's kind of odd. He's had a few of the GMT's, but no dice on the 58.

I think the pics look great, but I'm reserving judgement until I see one in the flesh.
