Incoming - Tudor Black Bay GMT!

Have we decided what we're calling this one? Diet Pepsi?

Fun fact: the bezel has finer increments than the Rolex GMT. Whilst the Rolex GMT "clicks" 24 times, the Black Bay GMT clicks 48 times. Much smoother and feels more solid and stiffer (just like the other Tudor bezels).

Fact #2: the blue half of the bezel is dark - in some lighting it almost looks black. But when the light hits the bezel, the blue shines nicely.

Fact #3: it is a seriously good watch.

welcome to the club but why do we have to "call" it by any stupid nickname?

and as it is bigger than its "colleague" wouldn't it be pepsi max anyway?
