Looking good on that bracelet. Do you find the protruding end links ok, as it’s a wide watch already? I generally prefer that look to the pivoted end links on the standard Tudor bracelet but this gets away with it as the size is quite big.....

 

Hi Steve! I find the end links perfect FOR ME. That's why I put my wrist size down. (7" positioned above the wrist bones as pictured) I'm thinking of hunting down something like the multi-adjustable Pelagos clasp. THAT would be cool!

 

I may well try to find one. I think it would help with the aesthetic of the case as it can look a bit blocky without the protruding end links.

If my memory serves me correctly, someone on the Rolex forum did manage to use the Pelagos clasp and it worked very well (the only downside being that the titanium was quite grey in comparison to the steel).

 

I put 3M Scotch Tape on my clasps anyway to cut down on scratches. Very few people see my clasps so color and tape, etc. is not too large a concern. If it were fuschsia I would pass. ;-) The titanium may be hard, but scratches easily. The Pelagos adjustability is the real goal.
Now...is the Strapcode bracelet similar enough to the Tudor to accommodate the Pelagos clasp?

 

This is a cool bracelet. Where did you get from?

22mm Super 3D Oyster 316L Stainless Steel Watch Bracelet for Tudor Black Bay, V-Clasp Brushed

 

Well, my luck ran out. One morning last week I noticed the date stuck between two numbers. I manually corrected it and hoped it was a one time fluke. Since then it advances two dates every night...So back it must go.

I’m bummed because I have worn it to work pretty much every day since July. It has never once wound down and is within 30 seconds after six months. Now my Speedmasters and vintage pieces will have to get more wrist time. Or I need to buy something to tide me over...

 

LOL!
Better run out right now and pick something up! ANYTHING!

Of the TUDOR BB GMT purchasers in this thread,
50% have noted the date issue and sent to RSC for repairs.
As time goes on, the percentage of people admitting to being effected is rising...
And we still don't see new stock at the ADs?
And Rolex Reps say "very small fraction" effected?

I still love mine...especially now that RSC has "Checked Movement". Their "Checking" is invaluable!

Mine on Filson Leather via Shinola-Horween.

 

I was offered one on a nato by my AD before Christmas, but I said I would rather wait for my preference of one on a bracelet.
Very happy to say that I got the call this morning to say it is in and waiting for collection!! (Based in the UK).

 

COOL! This is the first I've heard of new BB GMT stock in 6 months at least. None in Texas yet to my knowledge.

 

Collected her today, extremely happy with my purchase...beautifully made and a lot of watch for the money !

 

Would it be rude to ask what you paid?

 

Not at all...Paid the retail price in the UK, which is GBP2790.00.

WIth strap instead of bracelet the retail is GBP2570.00

 

You got a good deal! In the U.S. they retail at the GBP3011 before sales tax. Both the bracelet and the strap each are about GBP232 ($300) less than here. VERY NICE...especially considering a lot of people in varying places are paying a premium. Good for YOU!

 

How long did you wait? I ordered one in June and was told 18 months!

 

I also ordered mine in June.

 

ok thanks so theres hope that it will be a sooner!

 

Fingers crossed!

Which strap option did you go with?

 

Bracelet

 

I wore this watch for several weeks straight and never noticed the problem. I then put it away for a bit and got it out and set it correctly this weekend. This morning I see the date is messed up.
So I suppose my first point of call is the AD (a UK highstreet jewler Earnest Jones). Presumably the work is done by Tudor/Rolex, not EJ’s backroom people.
