Like a Rolex I don't think Tudor accept price reductions on the RRP but the AP did throw in a nice double winder. Interested to hear if anyone manages to get a discount. Any questions on the watch do let me know.

The depth is 11.9mm by the way - someone else asked about that on this forum. The standard BB is 14.75mm, and this really makes a difference. Brand new in house movement to fit this 39mm and thinner case, the MT5402

Cheers

Roger

Huge congrats roger. If possible, could we have some shots of the sides and how it sits on the wrist?

Love my black bay gmt, and considering this too.

Finslayer83 · 12 July 2018, 11:14 PM

If I could pick - I'd like this in a design like the black bay steel or a Pelagos in 40mm.

Iron swan · 13 July 2018, 11:53 AM

Outstanding, congrats! Watch looks great on the wrist Roger, perfect size.

Went and spoke to 2 different AD's today(in Atlanta)- one said October, one said late August.

iansweeney · 13 July 2018, 10:50 PM

I just don't like the new BB bracelet. The older ones are great. Could do with a bit more taper but clean and old school. would have to go with the nato. I wear my BB Blue on the OEM nato and am very happy.

jaySL350 · 14 July 2018, 12:36 AM

Congrats Roger,,,
looks lovely on the wrist,,
wear in good health,,,,

Jmbarrack · 14 July 2018, 12:41 AM

Man I really like that. Love the smaller size 39mm. Will have to pick one of these up when they've more available. Best of luck!

What do you guys think of the 58 vs the BB GMT?

Congrats, I work in T. Wells and often pop into Burrells, very polite staff there.

nice pics! it is sized quite nicely - thank you for the compariasion photo with the GMT.

Would you say it would make a good companion to a 14060M?

importstunna · 14 July 2018, 11:49 PM

Thanks for the pics side by side with BLNR! Killer combo!

bp1000 · 15 July 2018, 12:01 AM

Love this

Did you manage to get a discount ?

JamieBLNR · 15 July 2018, 12:06 AM

I did not get a discount.

I tried but got nowhere. Managed to get a tiny travel wallet chucked in but arguably worthless.

Funnily enough I bought this to scratch my Sub itch.

MikePRT · 15 July 2018, 06:58 AM

I’m first on the list with a UK AD but they didn’t get any on the UK’s first delivery from Geneva (I check with Rolex UK too)...so gutted. It will arrive in a few weeks but seeing these now out is making the wait so tough!!

llvhhui · 15 July 2018, 09:48 AM

Love the design. Looks closer to sub 6538.

Congratulations. Great pictures of a great looking watch.

aurenas · 15 July 2018, 10:00 PM

And how about the bracelet? Is it comfy?

SpeakWithMichael · 15 July 2018, 11:20 PM

Here's an Instagram shot from Tudor posted today.

Stevec14 · 15 July 2018, 11:34 PM

It looks great. Seriously considering Picking one up to go with the gmt. Despite the apparent 39mm size, it still seems to dwarf the BLNR though. Optical illusion, or is that really the case?

Seems like a 39mm in name only.
