Had the chance to play with these. The GMT really has it. Great watch, feel good, nice on the wrist

I would prefer it on bracelet

tha bicoloor .... honestly I never liked these watches. Or you buy steel or you but gold

But this one really get's away with it.

The dial doesn't make a stealth watch but I have to confess I like it.

Not on my 'buy' list but still nice

The 58 ...

beautifull !!

But for me too small ... I know most like it because it is a bit smaller than the 41 black bay. It's 2 mm smaller and bit thinner

But when putting it on my wrist and holding it in my hands it just seemed too small for me.

Not that sure anymore I will buy it. A sports watch needs to be a bit bigger for me.

Nice on leather, and steel

But it changed my mind, I was wearing a black bay ETA noir at the same time and I wouldn't hesitate a second ... the 41MM no doubt

and this ... not the best but nevertheless nice and if your'e looking for a cool blue dial ... why not

Key Points from the Discussion

The leather straps on Tudor watches are criticized for being hard and uncomfortable, with a suggestion for Tudor to source softer leather from Italian suppliers.
The Tudor Black Bay GMT offers exceptional value, with a date and GMT complication for only 200 euros more than the standard Black Bay, contrasting sharply with Rolex's pricing for similar features.
The Black Bay 36, two-tone Rolex GMTs, and Tudor GMT were expected to arrive at ADs soon, with collectors eager to try them on.
The concept of 'value for money' in watch buying can be flawed, suggesting that other factors often drive purchasing decisions beyond just price.

Let's wait to see them live and try them on. I guess they'll hit the ADs by June or July. Vte

The BB 36 arrived this week, two-tone Rolex GMTs probably will be here by next week, and maybe the Tudor GMT too, sooner than expected. A little bird just gave me the info. :P Vte

Very good and charming watches. I love my bronce Tudor with choclate Explorer-dial. Only a small point of criticism. The leather straps are so hard and uncomfortable. The first one in the box was to short, so I orderd the longer one, hoping it is a little bit softer. I weared it two days, also in the night, but it is a torture to wear it. They never take the form of the wrist. Also I dont like this rubber inside, when I like rubber, I buy rubber. So I changed to the fantastic Natostrap. May be T

yes this sounds insane but ... Rolex sub no date. 6900 euro Rolex sub date 7850 euro Tudor black bay 3480 euro Tudor black bay gmt 3680 euro The Rolex will set you back as good as 1000 euro if you want a date.... the Tudor only 200 ... ohh and before I forget the gmt complication is for free lol I mean, date an GMT for only 200 euro extra?
