I can’t see it, yet.

The movement is pretty new isn’t it? Can’t see they’d redesign the mvt to fit in a slimmer case this early on. They’re also having unprecedented success with this model and whilst a few of us geeks on a forum would want a ladies version, would it be a better seller to the masses?

What they need to be doing is getting ready to release a faithful version of the Blue Snowflake Sub in 40mm! I’d be camping out for that one!

There is a Black bay 41 & Black bay 39 (named BB58) which are virtually the same which is what I think he was getting at.

Yes, of course Tudor will release many variants of the same watch....it’s what they do. ;-)

What I’d like to see is a blue snowflake 58 homage.

I think that a 39mm Tudor GMT would be an excellent move, but I woudn't expect it this soon.

Of course, it could happen and I would be tickled pink.

That thick case on the current 41mm in house version is a huge turn off for me. There seems to be a high demand for a 39mm Tudor GMT so I hope Tudor builds one.
I'd certainly consider a 39mm Tudor GMT however with the few times I've came very close to buying the 41mm Black Bay eta version, I switched gears last minute and bought pre-owned under valued sports Rolex instead.

The other issue is if Tudor decides to build a 39mm GMT, it will be popular and Tudor will need to ramp up production and make them available so there is less potential price gouging. Lowering production on Rolex works, but Tudor, no. After all, this was Hans Wilsdorf's vision as a more accessible brand to the masses.

What are the odds of bringinf this out by next yr and when do we find out, basel 19?

I think Tudor tested the waters with the 39mm, and it was a resounding success. And no way (IMO), they would develop and invest so much for one offering. There's more "Fifty-Eight' to come!
