The bezel insert is aluminum on the Tudor, ceramic on the Rolex.

Still with the rivet bracelet. Does it retain the near 15mm thickness of the standard in-house model? It looks great, but I’m not sure I’d buy if it’s that thick. And the Rolex on jubilee only is a huge letdown. Hope that comes out on oyster soon.

And I still want a damn Coke!

Does the bezel jump hours like the Rolex GMT? so far the vids I've seen show it clicks like a sub. Quite a deal breaker for me since I love that smooth bearing action of the GMT Master.

I’m really liking the leather as well. When do you think these will be at ADs to take a look?

It is a beautiful watch from the pictures.

I only got to know the brand and its connection to Rolex through this site. Prior to this, every time I would see their watches in person, not knowing the brand's connection to Rolex, the look of watches and collection were underwhelming to me and never worked for me enough to even consider a purchase.

Owning a 16710 Pepsi now, I don't think I will be thinking much about this specific Pepsi offering either.

The above is not an attempt to put it down, more so pointing out the good news to all of those who might be planning to buy this.

How costly is it to replace the aluminum bezels on Black Bays? Are the red, blue, and black interchangeable if you can source them?

My guess is they'll be much easier to get. Many people may get these because they give up waiting for the Rolex version.

I would like to know if it sets the same as the Rolex GMT.

I love the Tudor Pepsi.

I love the Rolex Oystersteel Pepsi.

I can hardly believe that all it took was a change of bracelets to make the Rolex Oystersteel Pepsi a reality.

I think this is the best Basel ever for both Rolex and Tudor.

That doesn't sound good. I wonder if it would wear heavier and larger than my SubC.

Tudor did an excellent job with this watch. Really digging the look on leather too.

A definite WIN! Love the size, proportions, lugs, and accurate colors. The $3,900 price is also very agreeable. And guess what? It is actually a real tool watch, the way the were intended to be. You could actually beat the hell out of it and not feel too guilty. They really hit this one out of the park.

I'll keep Rolex for PM options and perhaps consider Tudor as a very likely "tool" go to.

This would seem like an insane statement to non-WISs.

Thinking this would be possibly suited by a ranger bracelet without faux rivets and end links
