Do it!

I love mine, has a great chunky tool watch feel. Can’t wait to try it on the leather band also.

Cue a load of pics in varying light conditions to help you make the right decision!

It's a very cool watch but don't buy it if you really want a Rolex Pepsi or if it is too thick for you, don't let the hype force you, stay free.

That’s a very nice watch no doubt, a great bargain as well. The question is always, is this the watch I want or am I buying it because it’s available.

Loving mine,,,,
shades of burgundy and blue are gorgeous,,,,
out of the light it can resemble a coke,,,,
i wonder if that was deliberate? when producing the piece,,,,

I'd say to go try it on and make the decision there... I'm attending a tudor gmt event at my AD this week and plan on doing the same.. my AD says they will have 11 for sale that evening and holding one for me so it seems like it wont be a problem to get one later if you decide against it now... for me, I personally am waiting for the Pepsi so I dont want to make a purchase just to try to fill that need now, but we'll see how I feel when I see the tudor in person.. it does look great in pictures

I would have to see it in the flesh. Not sure about the hands...everything else I like.

I say go for it, but I like it and have one. As Neil says above, I wouldn’t buy it just because it is there. I’ve done that and it rarely ends well.

But if you like it, then it’s cracking value and different enough to the BLNR to co-exist.

I have both the leather and bracelet and it looks great on both.

A couple of pics.....

I went and try it on. Didn’t pick it up. I give the guy behind me a chance to pick it up. The reason my AD give me the first spot is he cannot get me the new GMT that I wanted. Could have buy and flip it for profit , not going to do it. Also it didn’t sing to me. Thank you to all for the advices. Appreciate it.

Go try it on.

I did, and liked it better than my 116710LN and 79220R - which are both 75 days old.

So I bought it. I might actually flip the other two watches.

Endgame might be Tudor GMT, 114060, and Speedy Pro.

I vote NO, if need be save up and get what you really want bc you REALLY don't want this if you are asking us. If I really wanted a watch, I can assure you I wouldn't be asking here, id be speeding over there to pick it up!! Makes sense huh....
