Great video Bruce and loved the roulette date wheel on your mock up too!

As soon as they throw the quick adjust clasp on this thing I'm in. Beautiful piece in my opinion. Love it.

just bought this exact one last week, perfect watch and far better looking white dial in person than video or pic

That is a good way to describe it. Pictures and videos don't do it justice!

I'm wearing mine while I watch this video lol. Had it for 2 months and loving it.

Had my “Diet Pepsi” two years now. In fact, I just had it returned from warranty service as it suddenly started running 8-12 spd slow, for no reason. It was a quick turnaround through my AD. Otherwise, it is one of my favorite watches. This new opaline dial is beautiful.

Great video, I think gmts are so popular because people can dream of travel or keep in touch with people far away. Truly more interesting story than timing things with a stopwatch.

I think your version of this watch is an absolute masterpiece !

I got one of these about 3 months ago, and love it. This was my most expensive watch I have ever bought. It is gorgeous, and mine is accurate within ~1s / day. It's not too big or thick on my 7.5" wrist either, at least for me. I use the GMT function when i travel too, its great. My only complaint is it's not as easy to read at a glance, unless i have my readers on, but maybe that's my own problem.

nice work as always Bruce

I have the black dial version and really enjoy it.

Great review Bruce - I’m lucky enough to have both the black and opaline dial variants which, maybe surprisingly, wear very differently on wrist but I enjoy both so much that I’d be happy with either as a 1 watch collection (if I HAD to!!😀).

Hey Bruce, great video. As a BB GMT Opaline owner, a few notes: 1) the camera cannot capture the luxuriousness of the dial. On your camera, it looks flat white. 2) I totally agree with the jubilee dial--that would be fire and give some folks the chance to own something close to the Rolex GMT jubilee. 3) Longinies and other brands cannot compare to the BB GMT. If you check out Teddy's March brackets video, the two Tudors crushed other competition.

Yeah this watch definitely needs to be seen in person to really see how special it is.

This watch is just beautiful! The Red/White/Blue might not be what I'd wear as a formal watch, but I would wear this for all but the most formal occassions. It would look so good with jeans and casual clothes!!

I hope Tudor is still watching your videos! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I’d buy the updated Tudor you suggested in a heartbeat.

Great review - love this watch and I fully agree with your assessment and criticisms. Looking at what Tudor is doing to some of their other models, I think it's likely we will see the next version as a thinner watch with the jubilee bracelet and t fit clasp. Unfortunately though they'll probably get rid of the snowflake hands and replace that distinctive crown - two features I personally really like.

Great video Bruce!

I'm digging my Jack Mason Dark Knight (Batman) traveler's GMT. I also treasure my 1999 Omega GMT 50th. This Tudor looks good too!

Bruce--love your videos and enjoy your insights. I'm really considering this watch--even as a daily wear--do you think it's too thick and heavy for that? Or are some of those criticisms exaggerated?

If the watch was smaller, it would be perfect. I just got the Black Bay Pro, and it wears so much better. Those 2mm makes a huge difference.

Nice vid. It’s an underperforming one from Tudor which I don’t understand. I picked mine up last August & kept it back for Christmas: it hasn’t left my wrist since: I think it’s a stunner & time will reveal it to be a classic among modern Tudors.

You are able to buy the jubilee t-fit for this. Its $950. It fits perfectly. I confirmed this with my AD.

I’m glad you didn’t say ceramic bezel. I happen to love the tudors for their alley bezels 👍

I tried it on in store a couple of weeks ago I loved it. People knock it for being too thick but pictures and videos don’t do it justice it wears very nice and I have average wrists. I like the look gives off a five digit rolex gmt vibes with the smaller numbers on the bezel. If they made this on a jubilee and maybe made the bezel more shiny to get a little bit more of that five digit rolex vibe this thing would be legendary.

I own a Tudor bbGMT and I use an uncle Seiko bracelet for that jubilee look. I dig my GMT and don’t think it’s too thick at all. Try it on and see if it fits you. Cheers!

My pic would be the Ball Engineer III Outlier white dial. No one covers thisnmodel but is a real contender

I put the 5 link on my black dial BB58 GMT and it IS amazing!

Compelling GMT that is not a typical black dial. If they would have blackened the markers and hands, similar to the Polar Explorer II to improve legibility, that would be amazing. Just look at the legibility of the new white dial Omega Speedmaster Professional.

My favorite sub 5k true GMT is Mido’s Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer. I love the look of it and it’s not even 2k. It is difficult to read and the finishing is not on par with Tudor, but dude it has some serious personality, gets you a lot of attention and compliments. Feels very true to it’s design heritage. Heck, I’d rather have both colorways of the Mido over one Tudor.

I tried this on at Feldmar watch Co., and on my six and a half inch wrist, it was just too slab sided. The Christopher Ward light catcher case on a trident 600 was similarly thick, but contoured to not be noticed. It would be interesting to see tudor do something like that

The watch enthusiast world has gone GMT crazy, confirms the market that seiko movements control.

Tudor GMT has been out for decades though....not sure this has anything to do with anything other than Tudor putting out a new CW to sell their product

this is the next watch I want to buy

I've purchased multiple Tudors and Omegas through Brad of Brent L. Miller. He's top notch!

Excellent watch.

Hoping for a version like you said also with a ceramic bezel! The current bracelet scratches to the bottom of clasp too which is annoying 😅

I think the watch wears great! If I had to knit pick. I wish it was lighter, came with at least 2 half links, and had an adjustable on-the-fly clasp.

I also own this one. My only negative is the thickness. 1mm slimmer and it would be very good!

Needs the updated case and 5 link bracelet like the BB Burgundy.

Tudor, take the T Fit across more of the model line up. You have one of the best bracelets on the market, definitely the highest value bracelet.

I own this version and by is the best Tudor gmt offering

I like the bezel a lot

Damn the pancake looks good on your wrist!

Hi Bruce, Great Review, This time piece would have been perfect of the Bezel was Ceramic! Cheers

I appreciate it

I got Monta’s version of this. It’s outstanding in every way.

My 3 favourites were: this tudor, the Longines zulu and the TAG Heuer aquaracer. The zulu disappointed big time irl: the dome is very high and I don;t like how deep the dial sits inside. The Tudor is much better looking irl especially this opaline dial. So I bought the Tudor and love it. I also bought the aquaracer last month: it's great but much more finicky to set time/gmt.

This may be my next one. If Brad gets it back by the 15th when I go down it might happen. For GMTs, I’m pretty stuck on my BB Pro.

I have the Black dial and the improvement I want is lume on the beze.

Stick this in a bb58 case and put it on a jubilee then take me money

When I want to buy a true GMT watch last year. I have compared the Zulu Time and Tudor BB GMT completely. Finally I was chose the Zulu Time base on three major points. 1. Tudor is 1000 USD more expensive. 2. Zulu Time has ceramic bezel. 3. The lump of Zulu Time is more beautiful. I like the numbers of hour over the round dot of Tudor. And there are other reasons but don't mention here.

Looks gorgeous on your sizeable wrist!

Oh and thanks for the excellent camera and lighting work too, Bruce! The video has been a delicious candy to my eyes.

I think I might prefer the Monta GMT.

Really beautiful watch but best suited to larger wrists in reality.

Ditch the rivets and get to 13mm thick and I'd prefer this to the Pepsi all day. Sharp!

Nailed it on the Bracelet bit. I hate the Tudor faux rivet nonsense. Miss me with that shit. The jubilee style would be amazing.

nice but if you have small wrist is very big .. also white dial make watch more bigger ..I would love a gmt tudor 58

Tudor should use the Rose logo in general. It’s so much nicer than the generic shield logo.

Man Tudor already did it ! Except the “logo “ Will you tried the sterling sliver ????? Missed as well the Chronograph’s … aiaiaiiaa Bit rushed “Review” were you on for dinner man ! 🤓

Yes, Kenissi was founded by Tudor and is partly owned by Chanel. But it is still correct to say this movement is made by Kenissi. Just like how Citizen owns Miyota, but we refer to the calibers as Miyota made, not necessarily citizen made

Agreed, just needs to be thinned out. I love the design and could do without the rivets

Kinda hard to read the time, same problem as the BB Chrono Panda.

"That would rival the GMT Master II" is exactly why they won't take your suggestions, ha

With blue rubber strap

Man Tudor is being dumped everywhere, tons of sales post, ADs emailing clients telling them of their inventory and how to get these watches with financing, etc. I think Tudor makes good watches, I owned 3 personally, but their prices are a bit too speculative nowadays, Longines is getting closer with great products and better pricing, something more realistic you could say.

@BruceWilliams

Of the dozen or so on watchrecon only one opaline dial. Great opportunity for a buyer with cash

For me the Longines win the match easy ... First of all, on the BB you have 3 timers GMT... What for??? The Longines here, is more versatile than Tudor BB, you have your 2 GMT times and also you can dive with it. Second, the "snow fake" hand is realy gross. In the longines i think it's smoother and less agressiv for the eyes and the global aspect of the dial. Thirth, the Longines have a mix of indexes matching good with the versability of the watch (diver+GMT). The Tudor have diver indexes only but you can't definitly dive with it, it's a total non-sens. The good point of the tudor, it's the contrast with black hands on white dial and the blue/red of the bezel. On the macros, we can see the finish of the numbers on the tudor BB bezel is not good, the edge of the numbers are not perfect and for an expenssiv watch like that, it's definitivly a "no-go' or me. Sorry for the bad english 😁, nice video, like usual with you. 👍

I own this watch and absolutely love it. Feels special every time I wear it. Very patriotic as well!

And 4 is thickness 🤔😤

Tudor gmt are unnecessarily thick they need to reduce the case thickness

Get over the faux rivets Bruce and get on the fact the clasp hasn't got on the fly adjustment

The Blackbay line is clearly their most popular, largest, and let's face it a bit confusing line between the dive watches, time only, and GMTs, but the Pelagos gets love, the Royal is a cool watch, the Ranger seems to be doing pretty well, the 1928 is one of the best looking and well finished watches for the money. To me, they have a lot more to offer than just the blackbay line. Although I do love the balckbays, especially the 58 and the new heritage.
