Is it just me or would the Tudor GMT look even more better if it had the BLRO hands? I like the non-maxi dial, lack of cyclops, and the colors of the Tudor bezel, but think the traditional Rolex hands are the only area the BLRO has the advantage. Case size also goes to the Rolex of course.

Let me get this straight...at a high level

You would like to see
1) the rolex case
2) rolex hands
3) aluminum bezel so the colors are more crisp
4) no jubilee so it remains an oyester bracelet.


Wouldnt that be an older pepsi?

That’s not what he said at all. And OP, no. I think best thing about it is the snowflake hands

I like the signature snowflake hands, to me that is Tudor. I did see a Black Bay with Mercedes hands and it was very sharp, I thought about them for mine. They are available for all Tudors in the aftermarket.

I’ve told myself for a long time that I don’t like the snowflake hands.

12 day’s ago I got my first Tudor (the GMT). Within a couple of days the snowflakes stopped bothering me.

Now I find that I like the watch SO much....I’ve even started to really appreciate the hands.

It’s a fantastic piece.

snowflake hands is tudor.

not a hard thing to comprehend. i like them. the lume plots being square would be my fix. but that is why i own a pelagos as well.

As long as the hand stack fits, it is your watch, do what you want.

The snowflake hands look better in the flesh than pics, IMO. They are really growing on me.

Wow, I love the lume on the BBs. I wouldn't want to step backwards just because it would look more like a Rolex. The BBs are great the way they are.

All good points. The snowflake hands are growing on me. While I know snowflake is Tudor, it wasn’t always the case as their early submariners used the Mercedes hand. The reason that I am not super high on the old Pepsi is the whole cyclops business. Yes, over half of my posts mention my dislike of the cyclops.

The snowflake hands are cool. I'm fed up with mercedes and sword hands. . You can remove a cyclops by the way. If you absolutely hate them.

Tudor watch hands are hard to love. The Tudor hands strike me as the Rosie O of time keeping.
