Decisions tudor GMT or tudor harrods edition
HELP NEEDED. I have just been guaranteed a tudor GMT from my AD in December which i can't wait for. However I have just had a call giving me 7 days to decide on a harrods edition b2b which i out my name down for a year ago. I'm not in a position to get both at this time unfortunatley. I love love love the gmt but also like the idea of maybe not many people having the harrods. I already have a rolex sub no date and a tag formula 1. What would others do in my position

GMT all day long...... I agree, you might see less Harrods but the versatility of the GMT more than makes up for this when its on your wrist.

Everyone is right, Harrods you won't realistically be able to get again or easily.
Having said that, i just didn't like it when i tried it on last year. Had no wow factor for me. Green wasn't particularly great. I actually much preferred the BB chrono i tried on straight after, with the denim strap. Tried that on several times before but never went for it due to the size. So unless you love the harrods (don't let me put you off if you love it), get the GMT. |

I prefer the Harrods honestly. The green bezel and limited availability makes it more special in my mind.

Very impressive. Really I am sooo tempted for both. Think the wife will have a fit in the short term haha. Bloody hard choice as for looks it is the gmt all day long. Just some thing at the back of my mind. I'm thinking maybe get the harrods and I can always flip it and not loose much if anything untill the gmt comes in December then decide

Me, personally, I wouldn't pass up the Harrods if it was on the table, but you gotta go with what's right for you. Good luck with your choice! |

Harrods edition has a number stamped on the back. You can’t miss that it’s a special edition.
If you’ve a yearning for both just buy them and face the consequences at home. You can always move the Tag along. Remember it’s always better to seek forgiveness than to seek approval. ;) |

Harrods since it's so hard to get. But if not for that, I think the GMT is a better watch

It's so hard. I never buy with the thought of selling but it is at the back of my mind thinking its not known but what if that harrods is then turned over in the high numbers, and what once was a nice thought of not many being able to get hold of ends up selling in the thousands and is easy to get providing your happy to go and pick it up

I'd pick the Harrods up first as well. GMT was just released and will likely be mass produced and available for years to come.

Harrods for me. Limited count and will be rare in the future.
The gmt you can get in the future. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Buy the Harrods, if you like it keep it. Mine grew on me thats for sure. If not sell it for profit and you get your GMT for Harrods money £2600 when I last looked - no brainer

You stated you “love love love” the GMT. Let your heart then $$ follow YOUR decision fwiw. Have fun deciding - incoming pics please
If you can save for both, get the Harrods 1st as others have stated - because you WANT it to wear not future speculation |
