This caught my eye as well but I would need to replace my 300M on rubber and I don't think I could do that. No sense to have both in the collection but then again maybe it does make sense

There is no patina on the new Tudor GMT's hour markers and hands. They are white and not cream.

I object to false photos being used to market a watch to give it a retro look when in fact and truth the hands and hour markers have white as white lume!

[No SUBctitute]

Doesn't really look white to me. Pictures of two BB58s.

EDIT: Thanks to Lol-x for pointing out that the official Tudor pictures are not accurate.

[Lol-x]

You are using Tudor's photos.
Have a look at the actual watch:



Also if the lume was with a cream patina don't you think Tudor would have mentioned that in their advertising/release blurb?

The lume is snow white or arctic white...

Yeah I kinda dig this pic, now where have I seen it before??

I liked the new Coke until I realized that it would REALLY pop with the dial/hands/bezel of the Tudor Pepsi and the new jubilee BB bracelet.

Just imagine the new BB58 GMT (39mm width x 12mm tall) with this dial and bracelet!

Wei Koh features both actual models of the BB58GMT and the new BB41 Black. Under the same lighting in the same room. The contrast is stark. The lume is most definitely cream on the BB58 GMT to simulate patina

[Lu..]

it's just a matter of time before they put the new movement and thinner cases on the Tudor pepsi (black and opaline dials, root beer 2 tone gold, and the BB Pro.....

I don’t mind that which for me is unusual as I would rather have a vintage Tudor sub

I disagree and say the lighting is warm to give the hour markers a cream appearance.
Also you can see on the Wei Koh video the white balance of the camera change at around the 1:25 minutes mark. The palm of his hand has a great suntan

I have to disagree. Tudor has proportions, typefaces, hands, a logo, and finishing that are, to me, unpleasant.

Sometime you like something and sometime you don’t.

Do I wish I preferred Tudor over Rolex ? Yes. It would be economical. But I just don’t.

[jimbobali]

Very well said, i wish the same😅

[Gearjockey]

Does the jubilee from any previous models fit this new one (in your estimation)?
Not a fan of the rivets on oyster-style.
Jubilee this reference and I am ALL IN

100 per cent.

As ever, Tudor not quite doing what they could achieve to encourage the upsell. Clever.

Nicely done whatever the markers are

[travisb]

Well done by Tudor but the blue / red bezel is still the stand out for me.

[Dom9]

Whilst Tudor did it themselves for a short period, in the vintage Sub period... I'll never accept Snowflake hands and round markers. All kinds of wrong.

I don’t know Steve. My wife and I always disagree on colors but on this matter we agree!

That is irrefutable evidence!

[-dustin]

damn, as I'm looking more into this BB58 GMT, I realize that there's a huge variance is perceived colors. kinda crazy. hadn't noticed that before on other watches.

[samson66]

Love the watch but I just can't get with the gilt treatment. Would prefer white numbers and markers.

I agree with you when it comes to proportions, especially the thickness on the GMT. But on other models, proportions are good.
I like their watches, they have beautiful vintage feel and they offer good value for money.
So I bought one and I sold it quite fast. Loved the dial and the size but It was too thick and uncomfortable to wear (BB pro GMT)........because when you have a Rolex in your collection you automatically want to wear the more comfortable watch.

I think Tudor is a perfect starting point for the person that did not buy a Rolex yet......or if you want a cheaper version of Rolex to wear and tear for your outdoor activities, harsher conditions.

I agree 100%. Never cared for the Black Bay with the gilt.
