    As some commentators have pointed out- the Longines Zulu Time does indeed have an adjustable GMT hand. Which makes it a true travellers GMT- a detail that was missed in the video. Thank you all.

    I like the Longines better too! For me personally, I think having three snowflake hands on the Tudor is just too much... I think it could be a nicer design if they had just made the second hand tip round like the indices. Or, they could've borrowed the orange pointer GMT hand from the Rolex Explorer 2 and left the other two snowflake hands as they are, but that would've opened a can of worms with a comparison to the Rolex... but it still would've looked better (imho). The Tudor is still a beautiful watch and I really like the toolish look of it, but for some reason the three snowflake hands makes it too busy for my eyes. I think the Longines is gorgeous and a refreshingly new take on a GMT watch. But on the other hand, if resale value is a concern, I'm sure the Tudor would win all day long.

    Love both of these watches. The BB Pro may find its way into my collection at some point but it really is just an homage to my favorite piece - my 16550 Rolex Explorer II (Alpine/Cream dial). I have a black dial Submariner 168000 and never felt the pull to add a black dial Ex II to the box… though for less than half the price, I could add the Tudor. I already have my eye on the Pepsi BB GMT. What a stunning bezel. Now… the Longines. What a home run. Best new piece for 2022 imho. Saw the giant electronic ads in the Oculus in NYC on my way from the Davidoff lounge to the 1 train and fell in love at first sight. Walked right into the Longines shop and got one of the first green bezel/leather strap “livery” that had hit the store. Could not be happier with that watch. I know $3K is a bunch of money but, in the watch world, that piece is an absolute bargain. The finish on that watch has vaulted Longines into the arena with the biggest names. Next to everything else in my case, that is the one people ask about the most. Well done and huge props to Matthias Breschan, Giuseppe Miccio, and the rest of the artisans at Longines.

    I picked up the Zulu Time today, that same green bezel model. It is beautiful. A note on size commentary in KZread watch videos… I have 7.5 inch wrists so 42mm and 50mm lug to lug is perfect fit for me. Not too big at all. Even though they are similar in thickness, the Zulu distributed it in a way that it’s less blocky and seems thinner. But some people might like a blocky look.

    That dial on the Longines looks extremely 3D to me, I think it's because their movement is very flat and that allows them a lot of room to apply those raised numerals and logos/stars. It's beautiful, it catches the light from all sorts of directions, I saw it in person recently and I must admit it's hard to get it out of my mind.

    The Longines has significantly more history than the Tudor in the gmt/Zulu question. Longines were the 1st watchmaker to produce a dual timezone in 1908 for the Ottoman empire in a pocket watch, and in a wristwatch format in the 1920's withe the zulu time wrist watch before rolex was a thing.

    The price difference is obvious in that the Longines looks $1200 more than the Tudor. The finish of the Tudor hands have a lot of imperfection but is invisible to Tudor die hards. Tudor pedigree relies too much on Rolex so I’ve yet to see a review where Rolex is not invoked. Objectively, Longines is the better watch; but due to social contagion, I have a couple of Tudors 😃. Definitely add a couple of Longines to my collection.

    Yeah Longines makes better watches just in general than modern Tudors. Maybe not the hydrconquest or the conquest but there literally 1/3rd of the price of most Tudors and a Tudor isn't twice the watch a Hydrconquest is. Tudor makes great watches but omega makes better watches for not that much more and Longines makes watches equal or higher in quality for less. Although I have to say that the Tudor BB ceramic and the pelly are fantastic and BB chrono and heritage Chrono. Tudor needs to drop a Tudor submariner and a mini sub with basic sw200 or 2824s for 2000 dollars imo.

    I find the Longines to be the better value and more interesting watch, although the real value buy, and for those with average size wrists or just wanting more wrist presence, the Mido Ocean Star GMT is what I chose. 200m WR, 80h PR, and a true traveler's GMT. Hard to top that for its very modest price point.

    I have the longines spirit zulu time in bracelet and I tried the black bay pro. I find the the black bay pro is much more comfortable to wear than the Longines. Undeniably the Longines looks better and gives better value with its third timezone capability. Quality wise, both are the same. Unfortunately, am leaning towards BB pro and plan to sell my Longines.

    Both beautiful watches. So I tried both and eventually went for the BB-Pro. Despite the beautiful dial of the Longines, I find it a bit too bling in my opinion (i've tried the green/gold version), compared to the Tudor. And the case of the Tudor is a nice size for my wrist. The Longines looks too big in my opinion. So I am now very happy with my BB-Pro.

    I own an Explorer II and a Pepsi GMT II ... What the Ex2 offers that the GMT2 does not is inconspicuousness. People -- including those whom you might not want to -- notice a red/blue-bezel watch on a steel bracelet ... nobody notices the Ex2, which is a benefit in certain contexts. (Generally, though, better to simply not-go places where you can't comfortably/safely wear whatever watch you want.)
