Why No Tudor GMT????
I was wondering why Tudor never made a GMT model considering they had models that mirrored most of the Rolex models:
Rolex Submariner = Tudor Submariner Rolex Daytona = Tudor Big Block / Oysterdate Chrono Rolex Day Date = Tudor Jumbo Day Date Rolex Datejust = Tudor Jumbo (no day) Rolex GMT = Any thoughts?

I always thought about that too. Good question.

Don't know if you're referring only to vintage, but the Aeronaut GMT from a couple years ago is a GMT... Appearance wise it is more akin to Explorer II with fixed SS bezel.

Also, although not a true GMT, the 79X70 chrono's 12 hour rotating bezel can be used as a second time zone function. dP

Thanks for the reminder. I was just thinking how come Tudor never released watches in the GMT and Explorer variants in the vintage models since they were already in production at Rolex ?
