路Yep, me too. Like a lot and will be in the market for one fairly soon I think!
edit - I have just seen that it鈥檚 the same thickness as the 41mm at 14.6mm so may be a non-runner
Omg that's thicc. I think it's very quickly fallen out of favour with me too

路Wow. The thickness is even more pronounced with the 39mm diameter. Definitely an issue

路I never understood the thin bezel / thick midcase / flat caseback design. And slab sides. As if they only cared how the watches look like from the front...

I've found that the Tudor models I've been interested in were really disappointing when handled in real life. No issues with finishing, but very two-dimensional looking. The flat dial of the Monte Carlo looks great in photos, but like a paper print-out in real life 馃檨

Same here. I have the symmetrical opposite experience with most seikos: bad in pictures, too big or thick on paper, nice in real life. Better 3d experience with some Japanese designs, Tudors are usually very 2d indeed.

路Pretty decent looking. But I will say that a Tudor is the perfect watch for a NATO strap as there's never an exhibition case back (as I wait for my GMT to arrive).
I really don't understand why Tudor and Rolex don't show off their movement as I LOVE seeing inside my Speedmaster Racing and Apollo 8, but hey, different folks, different strokes.

路I think they're heading in the right direction, the hour plots look much better without the surrounds, the crown with no exposed tube or guards is nice and the case size is on point. if it wasn't for the thickness but you can't have it all, especially with Tudor...
on a side note I'm still over here waiting for an updated pelagos that's 39mm, thinner case and less text on the dial ohh what a day that would be 馃檮

Same, same, same.
Though I suppose I鈥檓 prone to forget the relative price-point. On bracelet I guess these are about $4K.
What GMTs do we think are the best competition at this price point?
BTW, the raised indices are interesting

路Apart from the thickness, which I guess is unavoidable without a movement change, there are so many aspects that Tudor have got right with this. It鈥檚 got a lovely vintage vibe, even the faux rivets work.

路wow all they needed to do was keep the case of the BB58 for a homerun, they must know this... so it has to be on purpose for whatever reason. smh

probably just price, if not market segmentation
compared to the BB58, the GMT function likely necessitates some added height in the movement
while the SkyDweller has a GMT function and an annual calendar, and is 0.5mm thinner - it鈥檚 also $14,000
the difference is maybe just in the expense of making a thin, capable, GMT movement (if not intentional market segmentation)

I own a B&R V2-93, GMT, equipped with an ETA 2893. The watch is about 1k cheaper than the BB pro and also rocks a perfect 12mm thickness.
Here it is compared to my Tudor GMT, it's night and day...
