Tried on the Black Bay Pro and GMT S&G

AD called to let me know they had the Black Bay Pro and GMT S&G to showcase - I had previously expressed interest in seeing them but told them I wasn't interested in purchasing. These two weren't for sale quite yet and they were waiting for additional shipments, but it was nice to be invited to see them.

I'm not in the market for Tudor at this point (own a BBN Rose and I'm happy with just the one in my collection) but I'll be honest - I was blown away by the BB Pro. From the size to the bezel to even the strap, it was everything that you'd want in a watch - just wow. A ton of bang for the buck!

The GMT S&G was ok - nothing too crazy and it just seemed like another BB to notch on Tudor's belt. AD was even like "yeah...Rolex's version is better".

Tried on the Pro today on a bracelet. It’s superb. Put my name down on the list straight away.

Do you have a photo of the S&G on your wrist by any chance? This is the one I'm more interested in.

Unfortunately no, I didn't take one on the wrist.

Nice to hear your thoughts, Jesse!

Last week I stopped by a WOS north of Cincy and they didn't have any of the new models yet.

My AD has both as well. He was the opposite, said the 2 time bracelet is stunning and will be a big seller. I’m going back soon if it’s still there I will take a wrist shot for you.
