I agree the Tudor bracelet is crap. Since the two pieces are so similar at first glance, I'm going to take the bracelet off the BB and throw on some funky canvas strap - then you get the Pepsi cool with a completely different vibe.

The WG Pepsi is spectacular, it's just a beautiful beautiful piece. Next level.

I guess the next question would be is the WG Pepsi worth 2X the SS Pepsi at current market value?

Now on that, I would give a resounding YES. Next level wearing experience.

I’m curious. How is the wearing experience different? Or superior? I’ve never had a PM watch.

Tudor is a fine brand, but doesn’t have anywhere near the brand recognition of Rolex. Is Tudor better than say another mid level brand? Yes.
But Rolex is in a different league altogether, and I’m not a fanboy, rather just stating fact.

Neither of them is worth what you have to pay for one. If you desire luxury jewelry, pony up the cash.

Is the Tudor BB GMT worth 3 Seiko Presage GMTs?

Tudor has some misses for sure and a lot of their range you couldn't pay me to wear. But the GMT, BB58 (all of em!), Pelagos (all of em, particularly the FXD), chrono, to name a few, are amazing value.

I think OP is also joking comparing the little bro steel to its superior sibling, in PM nonetheless. But anyone that's had these two side-by-side I think would be lying if they didn't question the value proposition in comparison.

Now if only Tudor would release that new yellow gold, green dial, BB58 with a full gold bracelet and solid gold case back (seriously want to show off this movement in a PM watch??) I'd have my next incoming decided.

Back to my initial thread drift and FXD, what strap are you wearing yours on??
I am still wearing it on the NATO but I turned it around and it works better for me. This spring when my pool opens I will put it on the Rubber strap and probably keep it on throughout the summer. The FXD checks a lot of boxes for me.
