I am with you Eliot....I think it is a wonderful offering and they did a great job. Not to be critical but does anyone think it would look better with a circle on the bottom of the second hand?? Is their too much "snowflake" going on at the end of all the hands? I am sure they tried a mock up that way....just curious as to what others think?

With the greatest of respect:
I wonder how many times wearers of Tudor watches, when asked, "Is that a Rolex"? Have to go through the, "no it's not, but it's MADE by Rolex" routine.

Apologies, but I don't get the Tudor thing at all.
If it was a completely different, separate entity, then, maybe.
They appear to be nice designs. But, having to 'explain' all
the time. Hmmm.
Maybe I'm completely wrong, and it just doesn't happen.

I feel, perhaps wrongly, it's a bit like owning a fake Rolex and having to explain "what good value
it is" and, how "Rolexes are over-hyped, over-priced and not as accurate as my 2 quid ($5) Casio" etc. etc.
I expect we've all had to endure THAT nonsense.
A mate of mine is always telling us how much 'better' his Sangyong 4x4 is than
my girlfriends Range Rover.
We just swallow it, smile and say nothing.
The same bloke has a Kawasaki that's pretending to be a Harley.
It's a lovely, lovely 'bike, but it's not, the real thing.

I'm going to stand well back now, and await the retaliatory barrage!

Where the newer Rolex models are bloated, blingy and whizzy, this just looks like the perfect laid back and tool-watch.

Reasonable comments and I can understand being worried about that. The reality is that nobody cares. Only those of us who know the products can comment intelligently on brand A vs brand B. I have a Tudor BB. Nobody has ever noticed it, let alone asked if it was a Rolex, which is just the way I like it.
Cheers!

This on leather at $3500 is a steal. I do not own a GMT. I will soon. Was texting with the AD this morning.

What to move to make room???

A great watch! And they even got the bezel colors right.

Rolex once again botched the new Pepsi GMT when they used the purple/pink from the BLRO
