I agree that they are large and out of scale.

Wished they were smaller. Still bought a bunch.

I used to think the numbers were too big. Now I appreciate them. Easy to see at a glance and the font style is classier than the older ones. Plus the ceramic bezel just looks sharper and more modern. Overall a crisper look.

I am interested in what that cost and how it looks. The BBGMT needs a micro adjustment. At least for me.

Tudor is awesome. I think I will prefer this new GMT over rolex as daily wear too but I am not a fan of those gilt accents. Black dial, white hour markers and any bezel (black, coke or pepsi) and I it is the perfect watch.

Nothing like Rolex GMT, Tudor is great but not a Rolex , I own a BB GMT Pepsi bezel love it and wear it allot.

Whatever makes you happy on your wrist can be both.

Cheers!

I totally get where you're coming from. The Tudor GMT has that rugged charm and practicality that makes it super appealing, especially for travel. Sometimes less flashy is more enjoyable for everyday wear. Enjoy your Tudor and have a great weekend!

I think they are both lovely watches. Familiarity breeds contempt and its natural to like a newer watch more. Personally I prefer the Rolex, but the Tudor is somewhat lower key and good to wear in a t-shirt in more challenging urban environments. Although I use my IWC Pilot for this :)

Correct.

I can't understand anyone preferring the clunker, but hey we're all different. I wish Rolex would head-hunt whoever's in charge of design at Tudor.

The tudors are missing the crown guards, and the GMT is too thick, if they got rid of the domed crystal and gold numbers I’d be in. I do like the price and the matte bezels, it makes them under the radar cool. I’m guessing they don’t want to step on the Rolex brand so they do it differently but those things I mentioned are why I’m in line like a bunch of others.

I own a really nice planet ocean and the things I mentioned about the Tudor are on my Omega. It’s too thick being the one thing that bothers me the most.
I hear you. I have a BB54 and it's currently getting more wrist time than my 41mm Submariner.
