certainly beefs it up a bit. Have never heard the watch referred to as small!

What size is your wrist. Looks great.

I am considering adding one again. My only issue is that other than on bracelet, because of where the lug holes are cut low down it exposes a lot of side case. I tried one on yesterday on bracelet and it certainly wore smaller than I remembered.

My wrist is big enough that I’m on the last hole in the Tudor strap or it’s too tight.

See the two photos side by side in my last post, and the NATO makes the GMT look like a kids watch. I think my wrist is almost 7.5”

Here is a pic showing me on the last hole.

Yeah, it certainly does look small. Looks fab on the bracelet and gives it some heft too.

I love this watch. I tried one on at a Tudor event in April and the value/quality is truly remarkable. I had to order one even though I will have to wait until March 2020 for delivery!

I have just received an email from my AD telling me that unexpectedly my GMT has arrived much earlier than expected!
The downside is that I will not be able to collect until w/c 26/08 still mustn’t complain. Really looking forward to having it on the wrist and I have a feeling that everything else will take a back seat for a while!

I owned the, BB GMT on nato, for the last year and sold it recently, to make room for other purchases.

I saw one in the AD window the other day and I'm contemplating buying one again. It's a great watch.

Just got the call from my AD that they have one in for me, much earlier than expected. I have been on such a buying spree lately I don't know if it's the right time, but man these pictures sure make me want to pull the trigger!

Forgot about the no cyclops.

Hi OP, any issue with the infamous stuck date wheel with yours? Interested in one but no sure about this known issue...

Not problem at all. I think they will have all been sorted by now.

I would prefer a signed Tudor bracelet. Strapecode has some decent stuff. I have a few shark mesh bracelets to which I added the Strapcode adjustable clasp (kinda big and thick though). And I have one of their bracelets on my Seiko SKX173 which is nice, so I was considering them.

My BB Red came on aged leather, and I bought a 3 week old Tudor bracelet from an AD online for $450, but that watch and bracelet were traded towards one of my Rolex.

Mind to let me know where ya get your bracelet for your GMT?

I replied in PM, but Timeless luxury watches as a authorized dealer, and I called them on the phone and found that they had a bracelet for the GMT in stock.

I ordered it right after it was announced at Basel and got it about 4 month later. It has become one of my favorite watch to wear, and frankly a great value for what you get in term of quality, accuracy, design, etc... the design is actually very similar to the very first Rolex GMT which didn’t have crown guards not a cyclops. This is actually the watch I am wearing today.

I have had one of the first one and not an issue at all. I know there has been a few issues here and there, but I think they have been blow away a little. All the people I know who have one have had no issues as well.

Well, not if you read the Rolex forum where more Tudor owners live - but it is what it is. As long as they fix them it’s fine.

nice watch - you wear it well. Too thick and bulky for me, which is why I sold it but lovely watch all the same and terrific value.

Still like the Tudor. $4k Tudor or $7-10 for a Submariner. Decisions decisions

Hi,
I have the GMT on a bracelet that I acquired around Thanksgiving. Waiting to hear back from my dealer on my Grail. As much as I love this watch and baby it, I'll be looking to free up funds when my Grail comes in. I must say, there is something about the Rolex crown that draws me to it over the Tudor shield.

I bought mine on the leather strap w/ deployant clasp. It was an impulse buy as I had chanced upon it in stock while on business in Amsterdam. I have no photos of it (I feel like the Black Bay is a NATO strap watch if ever there was one) but I did wear it for the first couple days and I think it's a fantastic strap. I'm making the case that the leather strap version is worth considering 😀

Just picked up one of these. Obviously the thickness can be problematic on the BBGMT, but is the weight also a major factor in terms of wearability? I own and enjoy the current SMP p, which I think tips the scales at 165 grams and love my Pelagos, so case shape is a known quantity at least.
