Me too. Just not sure about the rivet bracelet. I don't even understand how it's adjusted.

I really like the new Tudor Pepsi... if I wasn’t going for the Rolex Pepsi, I’d definitely pick up the Tudor.

I like it too. I don't think the rivet bracelet is new. Perhaps some Tudor BB owners who already own a BB with this very bracelet can give us some opinions on how they feel it fits.

Would be much happier with Mercedes hands.

They fouled up the fonts too... lost opportunities.

My MkII Key West, gilt dial, open roulette date wheel...

My only problem with the Tudor GMT is that the blue looks more like charcoal blue to me.

I do have problems with red and green, so I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the only one who sees that.

Anyone else?

I popped into my AD today to ask her if there was a lot of commotion & she said the phone has not stopped. Joked with her I wanted to be added to the list for the Rolex GMT & she laughed. I took a look at the Tudor BB & the rivet bracelet looked good to me. It was kinda old school. I'm middle aged so you know when I say old school, I'm not talking '90's. Hahahaha It seems like a non issue.

Grady, the problem with blue are all the shades of blue. I haven't found a blue I like apart from the Omega Aquaterra & the Rolex Datejust. But the quest continues. ;-) I agree with you that it's more of a subdued blue than a vibrant blue. Perhaps in person, with the lights reflecting off it, the blue will not be so flat.

I like it, too. I've been thinking about maybe, possibly buying a new dive watch -- now I'm anxious to see this one in person.
