Hard to compare the Tudor to a 16710. But then why buy it??

The Tudor GMT is a fabulous watch in its own right, it has that vintage old school vibe, while it packs superb modern technology. Give it a try, wear it some more and see if it grows on you.

I picked the one on bracelet. I currently wear it on Erica's MN. Very comfortable strap.

Glad you picked one up! The 16710 is a different kind of watch in that it is more refined and elegant. The Tudor provides a hint of vintage tied with a more rugged persona. They’re different watches, really.

I stupidly ditched my late model 16710 very early on for the IIC (before I understood about movements and appreciated the 3186) because I didn’t like the bezel font and dimension (I prefer the 16750 bezel size and font). With the Tudor, that bezel proportion is back (though I do miss the chunky Rolex bezel edge) and I sort of prefer the BB GMT to the 16710 (though not to the 16750).

I would also recommend losing the Tudor nato. The BB GMT is great on a nato, but the watch is too too heavy for the Tudor nato — buy a heavier duty nato or switch to the bracelet; I think you’ll then have a different opinion of the BB GMT.

I bought it on the bracelet, but I really liked the leather. I decided against it (despite preferring the leather, to be absolutely honest) for practical reasons: I never take my watch off, and leather doesn’t do well in water. I’m considering throwing it on my Bond nato, but the bracelet is growing on me.
