Tudor GMT

[JSCP]

Bought today. Never had a Tudor, but liked the vintage feel, feels nice to hand and wears a good size.

I know this model has been around for a few years, but I liked it and the idea to that it could be beater, but I will go to my nephew.

Does anyone here has all three BB GmT and + Pepsi + Batman
like I would if keep it?

Thanks!

I love this watch. I like the look of it better that the current BLRO. I like the more muted colors on the bezel. You’re right, it does have the vintage feel. This watch is also my most accurate watch. It’s dead on.

My eventual goal is to pair it with a new CHNR, inshallah…

Edited for typo

I was picking my BLRO when I saw it on the sienna leather strap at my local boutique. I told my SA, wait a minute, can I try this one on…
Left the boutique with the Tudor GMT on my wrist and left behind the BLRO for someone else to enjoy.

You're in the all GMT club now with that addition, congrats! This is probably my most carefree and enjoyed GMT I'm sure you will love it as well.

CHNR next...

Congratulations! The Tudor GMT is a stunner! I would get one myself but I already have the Rolex BLRO and don’t like redundancy (red/blue/GMT) in my own collection. Now if they come out with a different color scheme (or a North Flag variant) I may consider.

I have all three. Batman, Pepsi and Tudor GMT. Love them all but my Tudor GMT is currently being serviced due to the skipping date issue. Hope I get it back soon!

I have the Tudor GMT on leather strap and the BLNR. I love them both, like others have said the Tudor has a more retro look and feel. My sons both love the look of the Tudor

Cool! What’s a skipping date issue, just curious.

Best!

This sweet! Do you know if leather strap comes in black and one can order separate a strap and buckle? Could be nice to have.
thanks

There were issues with the datewheel on the ealry Tudor GMTs. They would either get stuck between two dates or would skip like only do odd or even umber dates. Mine skipped dates so I had it fixed under warranty. Search about it for more detailed info. But once that is sorted, it is a great watch. The latest versions should not have that problem.

Congrats, OP!

I've owned a 16710 for over 15 years and bought a BB GMT in early 2019. It instantly gained favorite watch status and has preformed flawlessly since purchased.

The muted bezel colors, boxed sapphire crystal, stair step tampered bracelet, and independent 12 hour hand, all combine to create the best in a modern/ vintage GMT.

Thanks for clarifying, bet annoying. Mine is brand new arrive to AD, this week.

Hopefully like you say, not an issue.

Cheers.

The Tudor GMT is a Fantastic watch and as previously said it’s spot on Time wise. It did have date change issues in the early days and mine went back for repair twice, the second time they replaced it with a brand new watch.

The CHNR is on another level altogether.

Beautiful piece and versatile with a NATO strap from Tudor. It is top notch and very comfortable while also infinitely adjustable for the perfect fit. The Tudor weave is also very fine compared to copied aftermarket ones like Crown and Buckle which are decent too.

The Tudor GMT is a great watch, but I had a love / hate relationship with mine and sold it after 6 months of daily wear.

Love: true GMT movement, accuracy, fit & finish, aluminium bezel, no crown guards, brushed bracelet, 200m WR.

Hate: top heavy, couldn’t get the right fit on the bracelet, lack of on the fly adjustment, fake rivets, mismatch between case and bezel thickness (overall thickness didn’t bother me).

Id buy again in a heartbeat if Tudor could get the weight down ~30g, add the T-fit clasp debuted on the bronze 58, and remove the rivets!

I believe they have stopped giving a nato strap with their bracelet models now. With the SS bracelet coating so much on its own it’s best to get it initially and buy the NATO later.

Big congrats! It’s a great watch with amazing bang for buck

I do really like this watch. Just waiting out to see if they produce in a 58 version this spring.

I also found the BB GMT to be too heavy on the bracelet, but the continuously adjustable NATO really made it so comfortable, that Rolex GMT, Daytona, Subs, SD43 all took a back seat in wrist time. Interestingly, I also got more comments on the Tudor than any Rolex I’ve worn…

I have a Tudor GMT, 16710 Pepsi, and 116710BLNR. I don’t plan to sell the Tudor.

A great watch and probably my favorite Tudor. I wear it on the leather most of the time but will put it on a bracelet and NATO from time to time. I also own the BLRO and BLNR. The Tudor get as much or more wrist time as those two.

Thanks for all comments and info.

I am ordering the leather strap but only if it comes in black. Should order the Nato. Any one knows how much are those?

I own a YG Skydweller so weight will be fine, I think.

for the price looks etc one can forgive a few details.
Like it better than my Omega Seamaster for sure.

When the SS BLRO was first introduced in 2018 I saw one at my AD (they brought one out from the back that was spoken for) and like many I preferred the Tudor GMT over the Rolex with the more purple/magenta bezel. The Tudor was just too much of a brick for my wrist.

Tried again last year and still couldn’t pull the trigger on the Tudor and went with a BB58 blue. 7 months later I got the call on a ‘21 BLRO and it was perfect both on wrist and they got the colors right. Couldn’t pass that up.

Now if Tudor came out with a BB 58 GMT… the skies would part and angels would sing.

Weight on the gold SkyD is substantial so no issues here. A couple options I really like are the Everest black rubber and new Crown & Buckle single pass through matte NATOs.

It's a strap monster have fun trying out all the options!

Love it

[samson66]

The Tudor GMT is one of those watches that looks great on any nato, any bracelet, and strap you choose to throw on it. Congrats
