I think the Harrods is unique and beautiful - but I'm not a "green" person, so went with the (much less sought-after) Burgundy. If you like the green -get it. Otherwise, GMT. Don't just buy it because it's rare (unless you have 50 watches and you don't care)

Cheers

With you in general dislike of green, but the Harrods is so much more subtle than Rolex green bezel on the Hulk, which I personally am not a massive fan of

I had a Harrods which I moved along pretty quickly. This was due to the chunky case size and I had the chance to buy something else I've been wanting. The Harrods was a special black bay, but the full size case is too large for me. Now the BB58, that is an interesting one.

Harrods all day long.

However please don’t flip it like 99% of people. One day I think you’d be glad you’d kept it.

Easy one: Harrod's hands down. You'll always be able to sell it at a premium if you should change your mind and want the GMT.

I'll get GMT instead, better looking and functional with GMT feature.

For me, I'd go Harrods Edition ... Love the look of the green bezel with Matte dial. It's a winning combo.

Harrods. Limited edition and the rare green colour scheme. You should be able to get the GMT in the future, whereas that’s not the case for the GMT.

Personally, I’m someone who likes a time only or time and date complication anyway.

Harrods ...will never sell to the numbers of the mass produced GMT...
Buy the harrods will be worth at least £500 more when you leave the shop
The GMT will be worth £500 less next year when they have sorted the movement and they are in all of the windows and if tudor bring out a BB58 (gmt) the current GMT will go into free fall you won't be able to give the thing away

So Harrods would be my choice

Harrods gets my vote as well. It's beautiful, limited, and it'll retain its value better. You can wait until the GMTs are plentiful for discounts, and perhaps they'll fix the date window issue by then.

Another vote for the Harrods. Green & gold is a neat color combo. Makes me wish I could rock its case size.

Harrods edition.

I just purchased it and can say that the green and gold dial markers are sublime and work extremely well together. As others have said, you won’t hage another chance to buy one in the future either.
