I’d have to get both leather and bracelet because they are BOTH put my name down for either GMT and be ecstatic

Yes I like the Tudor GMT

Had Tudor used “Mercedes hands” you just know the delusional MKII fanboys would have criticized Tudor for copying Yao’s “original design”.

I'm a fan of the Tudor GMT.
Rivet bracelet ✔
No crown guards ✔
No cyclops ✔

I would've liked the blue in the bezel to be a lighter shade, but my understanding is the colours in the GMT bezel are the same as from the burgundy and midnight blue black bays. In that case, then like my BBB, the blue should stand out in certain lighting conditions and be almost black in others.

I love the Tudor and the price for a true GMT in-house movement with a 70 hr power reserve is pretty great. I hate aluminum bezels but the more I look at pics of the Tudor, the more I think I may need to rethink this policy on this 1.

I wouldn’t have. Tudor needs to cut out the snowflake hands crap. It’s one thing if they also use a snowflake dial but they’re not (except with the Pelagos).

I like it. At first, the bezel font was "meh" to me. The more I look at it, the more I like it. I'm going to add one when they are available because I have a GMT fetish and I'm starting to think it looks pretty cool.

The Tudor doesn’t look blurple, nor does it have the “rest home” bracelet.

I have this and love it. Bracelet is equally as comfortable as my Rolex Batman oyster. The rivets are very subtle and I have grown to like the look a lot. Wait, I want to get the GMT, no no the rivets are terrible, don’t buy it!!!

I absolutely love it. I think this may be my first Tudor. But it looks like there might be a little wait.

Grab one Eliot!

It's obvious the Rolex GMT SS did well for itself but Tudor did well for the entire brand. That says something.

I agree. I don't care for the rivet bracelet and don't understand why they make them. The picture of it on leather though, that looks great!
