I’m the only one? (Tudor GMT)

[kieselguhr]

Sounds like you want a Rolex. Don’t compromise and get a Tudor despite it being a fantastic brand producing phenomenal watches considering the price point. You will be disappointed because it lacks the crown on the dial, not to mention the Mercedes hands.

No it’s not just you, as there are plenty of people who do not like the brand’s signature snowflake hand set.

The Tudor is very nice, but it is also very thick - be aware and try one on. I had one and flipped it because it was too thick for me.

Don't buy a Tudor because you can't get a Rolex. Only buy a Tudor if you like the Tudor.

I think the snowflake hands are my favourite part of the modern Tudor's. They're distinctive. That being said, I can understand why they're not to everyone's taste.

It's a fantastic watch, but if you are only buying it because you can't find a Rolex I would go a different direction. But a watch because you want it, not because you can't find what you are really looking for.

I agree, the handset on the Tudors are ugly. Why not check out Omega? To be honest, I would never take a Tudor over an Omega (and I’m a Rolex guy through and through).

I think it's perfect if you are looking at the dial. but it's WAY too thick. Traded mine because of the thickness.

Bought the Tudor GMT. Traded it 7 months later for a 16710. Too thick and chunky for me.

LOL. You wanna buy apple or orange? Both are related but totally different.

[sea206]

Yes, Tudor and Rolex share similarities but absolutely different.

Don't do it. If you want a BLRO then get a BLRO. The TUDOR BB GMT is not a BLRO substitute. The TUDOR GMT has its own style and is meant for those who get it. If you buy it as a settlement, you will look at it and say "this is not what I wanted" I wanted the BLRO. So go and start a relationship with your AD and get the watch you want even if you have to wait a year or three. Or go for door # 2 and buy grey with upcharge and get it today (not my choice). But don't buy the TUDOR GMT, leave it for someone who knows what it is and is looking forward to owning it.
