Yeah this is a good one I agree. Rolex are doing better job with Tudor than they are the eponymous marque last few years imo.

Tudor Blackbay GMT Pepsi wins Baselworld 2018

Love it

My name is on the list for both the Rolex and Tudor Pepsi but I promised the fiancé I’d just get one.

Thinking about just going with the Tudor to add some diversity to my 3 piece Rolex collection. Won’t be too worried to beat it up and will have some $ in the bank for my wedding.

Smart Guy, the Tudor Pepsi, I like to call it a modern 1675, is a winner!

Punch to the Rolex resale market? Not quite. Nice watch though but not for me when I can have the new Rolex BLRO.

Three of the four hands have a square on them, it’s a little overboard with the whole snowflake thing. Otherwise great watch.

Thanks man!

As much as I’ve wanted an excuse to get into the ceramic Rolex market, which would have been this Pepsi (and Ive had money aside for this moment for about a year). Tudor releases their Pepsi black bay and it is perfect for my tastes in every way! Totally agree with the modern 1675 comment. Love the vintage charm of these black bays

Rolex continues to confuse me!!
Releasing a ss model to compete with its WG model then releasing a less expensive Tudor version of it??!!!

Agreed. My favorite of any release at Basel thus far. Well maybe a perpetual calendar Patek...favorite of anything non Patek.

Agreed. I wish they had just done a triangle for the GMT hand.

The font on the bezel isn't my favorite, either. But very few watches get fonts right these days.

It's on my short list. I'll get it before the SS Pepsi from rolex so it will help with the wait.
