I like it but not quite enough to get in line for one. Still not convinced that the movement problems are resolved.

pentaquark · 28 March 2023, 03:35 PM

It's interesting. I think it might look great on a leather or rubber strap.

jimcarver · 28 March 2023, 03:45 PM

Just too much of tank of a case for me, I have the Harrods BB and only really like to wear it with long sleeves. For me a a GMT watch should a perfect travel companion that is versatile, a beast of a watch like this, is not for most people.

EvelynWaugh · 28 March 2023, 03:53 PM

Love it. Would have been better as a Rolex release honestly.
Discontinue the meteorite 126719 BLRO and replace it with this Albino Pepsi on Jubilee and boom you have an instant winner.

It's a very thick watch to wear but I like the look of it so far.

Sadly, I agree.

Have both GMT and Harrods and they are just a bit too chunky for true comfort. Knocking them into door frames is a little too easy, followed by the inevitable damage inspection and then noticing that the bezel has become slightly displaced. End result equals frustration.

Hopefully the new BB Heritage 41mm will start the ball rolling towards a 13.5mm case thickness across Tudor’s professional range.

I missed that, good catch.

But I have to admit, I find that puzzling, though.

It is puzzling, indeed. The white would have looked killer on the Terra di Siena strap.

Same with the BB41 heritage. New ones offered on bracelet, nato, and rubber with end links. Looks like they are phasing out the leather strap options.

Just been into my local AD to try one on, and the dial is so much more silverly than I expected. This does not look like a polar dial at all in the flesh and that leaves me disappointed. I was wearing my original GMT, and comparing them side be side I do not want to swap. On the other hand, they also had a Black Bay 54, and oh my, I really want that watch. I have never hankered after a black submariner in the past but the 54 has completely changed my mind!

I agree!

Driver8 · 1 April 2023, 05:53 AM

Looks nice, but I agree with others that it’s a missed opportunity to rollout the T Fit at the very least, or something a bit more radical - a 39mm version, or a slimmed down mid-case, etc.

Benzsiam · 1 April 2023, 06:23 AM

I think it looks great, look similar to Rolex WG Pepsi meteorite dial.

samuel019 · 1 April 2023, 11:04 AM

There are quite a few Tudor models I’d buy IF they’d get rid of those damn faux rivets

Watchsprings · 1 April 2023, 11:05 AM

I love the look, but too thick for me.

Know1isgod · 1 April 2023, 11:36 AM

Speaking of Pepsi's. Dawn Staley (Coach of South Carolina women's BB team) was wearing one during the pre-game interview. On a Jubilee of course.

Tudor should offer the Pepsi as an GMT option. That alone may sway folks who are concerned about the size.

The rivets kill me. I may grab one on strap

SS Oyster · 1 April 2023, 01:45 PM

Nice looking watch. Saw it in black dial today at AD ... white or opaline more striking for sure!

It is very. I was expecting polar, but it simply isn't like the pictures on the Rolex site.

Sunstreaker · 1 April 2023, 09:57 PM

Too thick like all Tudors. Not sure why they do that, it’s clearly on purpose.

Also, this looks like a Timex.

Yeah, on purpose.

Maybe Tudor is just not for you. I'm 6'4" and will never ride the winning horse in the Kentucky Derby either. Just one of the many limitations we confront in life.

if they put that opaline dial in the bb pro it would be fire.

he forgets the bb54 is thinner than any rolex sport watch at 11.25.

also the 58 is 12 mm thick, basically the same as a gmt.

but on point i think the gmt size is fine.

i own an octo. everything is thick compared to that but you dont hear me complaining about how that has a 100 meter WR and a watch double in thickness doesnt.

Good point on the 58, I used to have it and actually thought it was too small! I just can’t seem to win with Tudor 🤣

No offense taken. I'm surprised how many are offended by a millimeter.

White dial looks clean. Owned the black dial and enjoyed the watch until the dreaded date issue and ditched it once I acquired two Rolex GMTs. My recently purchased Polar ExII took awhile to get used to! White dial is so different from any watch I've ever worn.
