Tudor Black Bay GMT is the HIT watch of Basel so far for me😀. In-house movement with vintage looking case and a true Pepsi red, not the awful pink on the Rolex GMT 2 Pepsi.
Anyone have any info on the GMT case regarding the jubilee bracelet fit? It looks like the bracelet attaches far back into the lugs preventing the use of an oyster or possibly even a strap/nato.
Apparently you can't attach an Oyster to the Pepsi Steel GMT and you can't attach the OEM Jubilee on a BLNR🙄. I think they did this to offer some token "status" protection to current Rolex White Gold customers...if you see a modern Pepsi dial on an Oyster you know it's WG, if you see a Pepsi on a Jubilee, you know it's a SS model. All a bit silly IMO.
On a more general note I would say that Rolex is becoming a bit of a ridiculous brand with the excessive wait lists, focus on hype and status. Luckily I got the three modern SS models I wanted before the hype set in....missed out on the LN Daytona as I was focusing on getting the new Explorer and BLNR in 2016. The ceramic Daytona really is the only Rolex I could still see myself purchasing some day. Looking back with hindsight, had I known the way the Rolex market would go with restricted demand of SS sports watches, I should have picked up the Daytona in 2016.
As many have commented, Tudor is what Rolex used to be before the bling set in.
Dude, I've been on the wait list since March 2016 for the ceramic white dial Daytona. So, unless you meant "I should have picked up the Daytona in 2016 when they were only $17,000 grey market" then it is a non-sense sentence.
Rolex has declared "when hell freezes over will the masses have access to our new SS watches".

It’s much better if Rolex introduces a price tier system for its products for delivery; 30% more msrp to be paid for off the shelf, 20% more within 3 months and msrp if taken after a year. This way Rolex will earn more profit for a Non-Profit Trust and the consumer will pay according to one’s urgency to own that piece. This mad mad rush to book a luxury wrist watch and then wait for many months is not logical for a reasonable person.
I called my AD to put my name down for the BB58. What a stunning looking watch!
Everyone has to write an essay on the topic of "Why I deserve a stainless steel Daytona."
Don't laugh, I had to explain to Omega in writing why I deserved a new CK-2998 LE, along with a list of my other purchases, and turn it into Omega AD to get on the wait list.
