Here is my Tudor BB GMT. Love the Diet Pepsi. It is not a BLRO substitute. It stands on it's own.

I did, two and a half times already and I couldn't care less. It's still a great watch

I really like my Tudor BB GMT. I also think that the watch stands on it's own.

Do you guys find that you get used to the weight? Damn thing weighs 175g...

I do agree that the watch stand on its own. It really is beautiful in person.

I have it on the leather strap so there is no weight issue, the thing that is noticeable and what takes some getting used to (at least for me) is the height. It does sit tall.

You have a problem lifting 175g...seriously?

I’ve had mine since last July and I still really like it however it is getting less and less wrist time so it might be time to move it on, especially as it is no longer my only watch with a gmt function.

None so far. Had it since late 2019.

I swap watches once a week, so I am used to different weight on my wrist. To me it is negligible.

I just don't understand the near universal forgiveness of Tudor over the "date issue". Deep brand loyalty is fine. And Tudor certainly is a great brand with a solid history. But when hundreds of customers pay $3500 plus for a watch, they totally deserve to expect something close to perfection from day-one. Anyway, my Rolex adventure started because of the Hodinkee review of this very watch. It's beautiful, more so than the current line of GMTs imo. But I could never buy something so expensive when there is a 5% chance that I would need to go through the hassle of fixing it six months later.

So you live your life NOT doing things on a 5% chance? I wonder what percentage of rolexes are returned for service under their warranty period. Judging from my collection, 33%.

Nobody said anything about "universal forgiveness." Tudor is, and should be, required to make good on their product. Just like the rest of the industry. LOL-when Rolex had well documented issues with the 3186 movement and the cyclops magnification issue, did you apply the same line of reasoning then?

Also curious where you came up with your 5% figure. I would love to hear the math on that.

BTW, I have one and it's one of my favorites in the collection.

Forget all the other luxury watch brands where this is clearly applicable, but based on this statement you’re not buying cars, houses, having surgery, etc. unless you have universally forgiven all these products as well.

Does anyone know if the pelagos clasp would fit on the BB GMT? Anyone tried it?

Thanks!

One of the benefits actually. Just measured my bicep circumference and after just six months it has increased by a whole millimetre.
