I think, I’m in love…
With Tudor…

I have the means to own most any Rolex (before anyone says the normal “poor man Rolex”) but picked up this GMT and am in love .. a huge value, 70 hour reserve, with zero worry.

Congratulations! Feels good I know!

I don't know that I have the means to own most any Rolex, but I love my Tudor as much as I love my Rolexes. Congrats on the new watch.

I’ve never seen anyone here refer to it as a “poor mans Rolex”. Seems like your pride just had to let us strangers know that you can afford any Rolex....

Good to know you have the means to by a Rolex. It seems like most people on the Rolex forums don’t

Congrats, yes that is an incredibly beautiful, awesome reference. Love the Tudor GMT. I prefer the colors and bezels of this piece over the ceramic BLRO.

Just wish it was thinner and smaller, a BB58 case size would be sheer perfection and an instant buy from me

Congrats! Had mine for a month. Love it as well. Goes great with my other pieces.

I feel the same way about the aluminum bezel. Actually prefer aluminum bezel vs ceramic.

Be sure to check out the nato straps from Crown & Buckle. Specifically the chevron strap. Almost perfect match to the OEM Tudor strap.

I have one as well. Love how it turns into a "Coke" bezel in the right light.

This^

If this existed my BLRO would loose a ton of wrist time to it. I love the way my BB58 wears but wish they make it in a GMT.

It’s been said many times on this forum over the years. The line was big in the 80s.

OP, congrats on the pickup! I’ve been a fan for awhile and my first release pelagos is a favorite in the rotation.

Beautiful. I wouldn’t say poor men’s Rolex. The Tudor Pepsi looks better than the ceramic Rolex Pepsi IMO.

Nice

Hope you avoid the date wheel issue.

I don't thinknproce comesninto how much we, or I, like watches. One of my favorite brands is Certina, priced much lower than Rolex.

I'm the exact opposite. I was always a little hesitant about purchasing the older model subs or current GMT Master II due to its 40mm size. The Tudor GMT is the perfect size for me! I love that it sometimes looks like a Coke and other times a Pepsi. If I could make one request, it would be for a slightly thinner case.

I love just love it!

Exactly the insert under certain lighting makes it look like a coke insert. I like my 116710LN just as much, the Tudor is a the perfect travel watch being under the radar. It’s a tank and fits like a glove

Was lucky to get the whole package. 2 year anniversary coming up in 3 months




Can’t say enough about the brand




Enjoying these tonight tonight with my GMT Tudor
