My Tudor wish for October

So back in 2015, my AD gave me heads up on a random Tudor release in October. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=437267

Today was my watch cleaning day, and as I was swapping out the bezel on my 16710, admiring my 166710LN, and setting the time on my black Explorer 2. I realized how fond of a second time zone/gmt complication I am. I may just add a BLNR or a Fat lady for good measure as funds permit.

I was thinking, I would love for Tudor to have a surprise October release again. My wish, a GMT version of the Pelagos or Black Bay Date. I would be all over that in a heartbeat. I know I've said in other threads I'd camp out in front of my AD like some do at Best Buy on Black Friday, but I really would.

I know it's pure speculation, but how many of you would be interested in a modern Tudor GMT? I know the Aeronaut is out there, but a black Bay version would be sweet.

What color dial, bezel, and GMT hand combo do you envision?

And if it happens, you heard it here first!!

I’ll admit a lumed, bicolor Pepsi bezel Black bay gmt with small gmt hand ala 6542 would be pretty interesting

I hope the Black Bay 36mm gets an in-house movement. I want this watch now, but waiting, just in case.

Man if they came out with a gmt black bay! I would have to have one of those to keep my fat lady company.

A GMT of any type from Tudor would get my attention.

My BB36 usually runs -1.5 seconds per day. Some days no deviation at all. Way under COSC. I wish the bracelet is a rivet type.

If it does go in-house, that'll be the nudge I need to pick up an ETA while they'e available

A Blackbay GMT would be sweet. Frankly it would (IMO) make more sense than the BB chrono they introduced last year...

But, as I said last year, I have the feeling that it would be a major introduction worthy of Basel. Not a minor, surprise, introduction for October...

But for next Basel I think there is hope... we pretty much KNOW by now that they'll introduce yet another BB iteration. How many other variations of the theme can there be after all...
