Hey All,

I need to make a a serious decision of whether I keep my 58 and get rid of the GMT or vice versa (not selling it, will be going to my dad)

So far, my argument is...

GMT more practical
Has a date wheel (lol - this is a different story in it self)
Pepsi colours and I'm a fan of Pepsi.

58:
Smaller
Slimmer
Sleek

If you were to get rid of one, which one and why?

Are we talking about Tudor GMT here?

If so, then your arguments stack up in terms of function towards the GMT so if I had to choose then overall it’d be the GMT that I KEEP.

The 58 in my opinion wears much nicer than the Tudor GMT so I can see why you’re stuck!

I would keep the GMT as I absolutely love it as soon as I tried it on I know I had to have one. Although I suppose it depends on what other watches you have ?

I’d say keep the GMT seeing as you’ve got this and give the 58.

My father isn’t a fan of wristwatches but if he was and I was to gift one then it’d be the 58 as I think he’d appreciate the comfort.

BB58, its just hard not to love this gorgeous piece.

Spoonage · 27 October 2019, 10:53 PM

I would let your dad choose which he wants.

These questions should be solely up to YOU and noone else.

Thanks for the helpful comment. I'm not asking the forum to make a decision for me.

I'm asking which one you'd get rid of and why i.e. to see if my thoughts are reflective of the forum too.

I would give him the 58.

The 58 is epic. I would keep that.

I would sell both and get a Submariner. I am a huge Tudor fan, but wouldn’t want 2 Tudor and no Rolex....assuming these are your only two watches.

Love the Harrods that and the GMT perfect combo 🍺

Auto16610 · 27 October 2019, 11:27 PM

As dads get older we don't require a date as much as these younge whipper snappers. He would enjoy the comfort of the 58. Very nice of you by the way.

Bluside · 27 October 2019, 11:40 PM

Keep the GMT. Very practical watch.

Hard to argue with this logic.

I would keep the Tudor GMT. I travel domestic frequently and internationally twice a year and the GMT function “may” be useful. It is 200m water resistant, and has a great design aesthetic that suits my taste and fits my wardrobe.

I think the 58 is a fine watch but the GMT is simply the better of the 2 to me. The only thing I don’t like about the 58 is the < 40mm case size.

brandrea · 28 October 2019, 01:27 AM

If you’re on the fence, let dad pick the one he wants and you can keep the other

Nikrnic · 28 October 2019, 02:30 AM

I've never owned either of the two but I like the 58 more. Thinking of my dad who's not into watches I'd bet he would prefer wearing the 58 as well.

bremersm · 28 October 2019, 02:43 AM

Does your Dad want either? If he is a watch guy I would say let him choose.

If I was him my choice would be the GMT as I love mine and find the complication very useful whether I am traveling or tracking time for our other domestic or international offices.

Brny11 · 28 October 2019, 03:04 AM

I’d keep the 58. It is a special piece IMO. The GMT is a home run for Tudor but the Rolex version is better in every way (including demensions). There is no modern competition of the 58 as it is a world class diver with a 70+ hour power reserve, a vintage feel, modern build quality, 39mm (a unicorn in terms of value and size) - one of the more asked questions is 114060 vs 14060 and the 58 is basically if they were one watch.

If you don’t like guilt dial, rivet bracelet or like a larger watch then GMT is for you. Otherwise, this is a no brained for me.

spencer88 · 28 October 2019, 04:12 PM

I believe your dad will love 58. Simple and comfortable.

danwang0520 · 28 October 2019, 04:47 PM

i'd ditch the 58.....

importstunna · 28 October 2019, 04:50 PM

GMT bc it's more functional.

efthi · 28 October 2019, 05:19 PM

58 is the one to have, had the GMT and felt kinda chunky on the wrist.. 58 had the correct size and proportions plus a nice vintage hue

Best solution would be to let your father pick between the 2 of them. He will enjoy it more and you will still get to keep a great watch.
