I totally agree. I have 2 vintage GMT Masters, and think this one will replace them in many instances. A big plus for me is the vintage look, the 70 hour power reserve, and the fact that this one is a diver, while the Rolex GMT has never been.
Rolex GMT is waterproof to 100 meters. Tudor GMT is waterproof to 200 meters. If you really are going to dive deeper than 100 meters, which is 328 feet, then you will need the Tudor GMT. But you better be an excellent and experienced diver to go that deep.
I'm not a watch collector, I'm a one watch wearer until it dies. In the market to get my first Rolex for a year now as the model I like, the GMT is not available. Finally, my local Rolex AD called me to come in and check the new Rolex pepsi, I checked it out and asked if they had the Tudor GMT on sienna strap, they did. In one world this watch is just STUNNING! I stopped looking, handling, wearing the Rolex and all I was doing was enjoying the amazing stylish look of the Tudor. I came in for a Rolex, I get out completely in love with the Tudor. I know it's a matter of taste, and I know Rolex is Rolex, but to me, the Tudor GMT on that leather strap is something unique. It looks completely different that the one on stainless steal. I'm getting one.
I’m late to the party now in 2022, but I have to say that this piece is so good that it’s all I want to wear. An almost perfect tool watch, on par anything that costs twice as much. That sounds dramatic but it isn’t. Go try one on.
When the Tudor GMT pepsi came out I fell in love with it, now after several years I plan on going to my local AD and buying it. The cost in 2023 is $4300 USD
Owner of both Tudor and Rolex . When I wear Tudor BB blue , so many people ask if it is a Rolex and I always ended up answering and explaining what Tudor is . It’s a great travel watch especially to tropical destinations.
I also own 2 Rolex GMT's Coke 1998 and a Batman 2017, both I love. Just bought the Tudor to flip and I can't part with it! Initially, I was worried about the thickness, but have found it not to be an issue at all. Great review!
Thickness is what has concerned. I love my BB58 but have a wrist large enough for my PAM. Do you feel that the Tudor GMT’s case height is unacceptable? Thanks!
The fact that it has the aluminum bezel which give it a real heritage look. A nice gmt watch to own. I have the blue one and liked the thickness of the case that given me a good presence of a watch on my wrist.
Tudor gmt function is more legible than the Rolex. The snowflake shape and placement of how close it gets to the minute track are the key take aways in my opinion. (The Rolex gmt arrow sometimes hides behind the minute hand)I can see myself debating this model to the explorer 2(16570). Like you mentioned Tudor is more playful the color is actually used from the Burgundy and Blue black bay heritage diver.
Excellent review about a beautiful watch. I love as well your vintage Rolex GMT. Waiting to pick up my Tudor BB GMT the next April 9 and so excited about that. Thanks for sharing with us another awesome video.
Love this watch. The larger 41mm case, 22mm bracelet, and 50mm lug-to-lug makes this the size the Rolex GMT and Sub SHOULD be. The 40mm Rolex models wear small on anyone with a 6.75" or above wrist. The Tudors really hit the sweet spot size-wise. I hope to add one of these soon. Nice review!
Probably the biggest release in 2018. Fantastic watch by just about any standard. It’s too similar to my Heritage Black Black, but if not for that, it would at the top of my list for a GMT.
I absolutely love too. Love the retro feel of the bezel and domed glass. This watch turns heads when on my wrist. People always want to ask about it. Love it. Thanks for the review.
The Tudor GMT is a nice watch that has a good price and an amazing weekend 72 hours power reserve. Nice J Anthony you show us how the GMT function work.
I just got one 2 days after contacting AD in Yorkshire. Find an AD in a quieter town or village. Large city, national chain ADs have ridiculous waits. Derbyshire goldsmith's said Xmas 2019! I'm sat here with one on my wrist!
The inside bevel (check at 8:51 in the video) makes adjustments by the crown when you take the watch off of your wrist, easier to perform. I didn't notice the inside bevel till I looked at it in person. It makes perceive to wear slimmer.
I viewed another review of this watch and the verdict was very similar to yours J. My initial thoughts (without viewing it in the metal that is) were that it is a bit sedate, however, after watching your review, my opinion has altered considerablt and if i were ever fortunate enough to own one, I’m pretty sure I’d damned well love it. Thanks for the review and keep up the great work.👍🏻
The size is just perfect for me. I already own two Tudor Black Bay 41mm watches. And I like the aesthetic of the Tudor bezels more than the Rolex ones. Now if only my AD had this in stock...
Love it, but decided that it would wear too big for my 7" wrist, mainly due to the hight of the watch. So I decided to get the Black Bay 58 which is also a stunner
If you like the looks of the Tudor over the Rolex, and one is one third the price with equal precision and quality than the other....the answer is obvious. In Rolex you are paying the advertising, the sponsorship and yes..the fame. But..honestly I don´t think the Tudor factory is going to compromise on purpose their manufacturing processes and quality just to be less expensive than Rolex....difference in price is explained by marketing expenses, ridiculous hype, desire and scarcity. Twenty years from now, the Tudor GMT will be a collector’s piece just by the fact that it somehow managed to "dent the famous crown".
Stunning!! My new Black Bay Black In-house arrives in the morning. I am so pumped for it. It’s the watch I have not stopped obsessing over for months. Finally I will be able to sleep! Great review.
Great Looking watch the only Down thing is that the case is too thick and the 41 mm size is too much for this particular watch in my opinion Nice vid Btw
The problem is try finding a Ad dealer that has one in stock. The stainless model is going on average for 5000 brand new. Still for 5K you buying watch that your great, great grandkids will be able to enjoy. The case is a bit thick but not crazy thick. All in all good job Rolex for adding this watch to your Tudor line.
I’d agree with your view. Sadly of late both the Tudor GMT and BB58 have caught the Rolex fever with soaring demand consequently long wait lists for both - meaning premiums on the grey market. Recent reports of problems with the Tudor GMTs date changeover may slow sales down a bit which could be a good thing to restore Tudor as the value proposition almost at any price - IMHO. Some fevers may take longer to overcome than others.
Great review of what appears to be an awesome piece. What do you think of the Black Bay 58? I’m female and wear a 116520 which I adore. Many years ago I owned a 16610 and miss having a diver but also prefer a no date look. The 14060 is appealing but prices are on the rise and I wonder if it would be too ‘tinny’. I like a solid feel overall and am liking the new offerings from Tudor. Great tool look!
Great honest review. I would love it to be in the BB58 case dimension. It is too thick and too long lug to lug for me. The clasp doesn’t have pivot locking mechanism. It purely ball bearing on both the safety latch and the main clasp.
Excellent review. Straight to the point! Very nice Coke GMT thought. Edit: I’m between this BB GMT and a PELAGOS (black). I know they are totally different watches in style and purpose! 😅
Great video, sorry but in your video description you wrote "loosing", and it's actually "losing". Pet peeve of mine... figured with 33k subscribers you'd want to edit that.
Lets be honest. No point talking about in house movement if can't view it. Only the power reserve is the highlight that's all. Tudor should give us a choice if we want ETA or in house.
The only thing I don't like about it is the fake rivets. I am saving up for an Omega Speedmaster professional, which is my choice over this watch for about the same money.
If you go grey market you can get a new speedy pro for less. It’s abstrap monster and you won’t be disappointed- it goes from a solid tool watch on the bracelet to smart when you wear it on leather 👍🏽
I've had issues with servicing both my Omegas through my AD. Very shoddy jobs and one took 4 trips back to the service dept to finally get a crystal that wasn't smudged on the underside. This is an authorized Omega boutique sending to their authorized service dept. Really unprofessional stuff. I sold one Omega and don't ever plan on purchasing another. On the other hand, Rolex serviced my GMT Master in 3 weeks with flawless perfection. Just be careful man!
I am a huge Speedmaster fan, but this is a GMT watch, the Speedmaster is not. They are different watches so you are not comparing the Speedmaster to the right thing. If however you don’t have a Speedmaster yet then go for it!
My Tudor GMT is sitting at my Authorized Dealer because I had the date jump two days at a time for 3 days straight. I brought it in on March 12th and days later the Covid-19 essential business policies were implemented and watch businesses closed. I'm done with Tudor as a brand because they have known since 2018 when this watch launched that they have a problem with the movement. There should be a class action lawsuit for damages to the buyers of this watch. The potential value is damaged not to mention the loss having to send it in for service. There are many that have had the problem repeat multiple times. Rolex - Tudor must be so arrogant they could care less about customers.
Max Power Ehh whatever you say. Perhaps it’s a semantics issue but either way a "douchy" response for someone trying to help the OP. Let’s see if you can be any help and post a source because what I read is that late 2019 and newer have been fixed. If I’m wrong, then let the OP know so you can be helpful instead of telling someone to do more homework.
For me, I'm loving chronographs currently. Not necessarily antique ones, just clean, professional looking ones. But the thing that has my eye at the moment is the Undone Urban Tropical series. I just love the dials! IC
J. Anthony...interesting you think it’s better than your GMT master. Spec wise for sure but thought you would prefer the wearability of the Rolex. Trying to decide between this and the E2 16570 polar....thoughts?
+Brandon Nance I just love the look and feel of the Tudor, it feels vintage and solid and I love it. This is cheaper than the 16570 (wearing mine now). I think you would be happy with either.
Hi J great quality review as per now expected from your good self,I never been a fan of either cathedral or snowflake hands but like you I to see the beauty and value in this watch.As a working class guy I can’t say 3 k Sterling for a watch is inexpensive but boy you sure get a lot of features and tech and it’s all in-house now. Quality so understated.Definitely worth feeling on wrist.Thanks J stay safe my friend.👍🏻
As I mention on another channel (really wishful thinking) I will wait for a BB GMT 58 :-). The watch is beautiful but everything larger than 40 mm and thicker than 12 it is just too big. it a pity. Tudor could have done two 58 versions: Diver and GMT. Great video. I really enjoyed the detailed review. thanks. Check the Monta Skyquest, it is a really nice alternative.
It is a very good watch and I can see why people like it. It's clearly less expensive than the Rolex GMT master, and as such could be an alternative, but I guess people have different definitions of "affordable". But good review as always
Yeah, well said. I'm sure it comes off condescending when I say affordable to some people. I by no means am trying to imply that $4,000 is a small sum of money. I assume that people interested in this watch would consider it a fair deal compared to its Rolex cousin.
@@JANTHONYCHANNEL no not condescending just affordable is a difficult concept to get across as everyone is different. As said great review man, and you are definitely right it's a very good alternative to the Rolex 👍
This is just beautiful watch. I have bb 41 black dial, i have bb bronze and now i want this one. And since i bought my bb 41 i just stopped wearing my submariner. So i may even sell it. Not quite decided yet but i have these thoughts.
The serial numbers on modern (in house movement) Tudors are on the underside of the lugs. Please advise if they are visible without having to take off the bracelet. Thank you.
I couldn't disagree more. The color choice is aligned with the overall elegant and retro inspired design. I would almost like to see an even more muted red. Or a more "mature" color combination like a rootbeer or something in that spirit. Anyway these colors give a perfectly coherent finish in my opinion and I would love to be able to afford one eventually. I am very happy to see less "in your face" colors and proportions lately! also, I read somewhere that due to the aluminium bezel. the colors won't fade overtime. Can anyone confirm?
The bezel colors are what makes this watch the perfect GMT. Not cartoonish blurple and pink like the Rolex GMT. Great deep subtle blue and darker red. Gives is a vintage vibe. Bezel is perfect IMO
I’ve had mine for about 2 months and absolutely love it. I have many watches including a Submariner, this is my go to watch. Some have said that the thickness is a issue but I do not find it to be the case, no pun intended, it is extremely wearable, you would have to try it on to see if it suits you.
Great video Do you know if the glass is sapphire or not I have tried to find the answer on so many web searches even on the Tudor site. I saw an interesting RUclips video where someone put a small drop of water on a number of watch glasses and only on the sapphire it did not flow or spread
Rolex is so common and impersonal. Great watch but do you really want to have same watch as all other people. Go you own way there a plenty other brands find a watch that represents your real style. In this case I would choose Tudor. Less is more.
I think it is such a beautiful watch. Like seriously I like it more then the rolex gmt honestly. I don't feel like the rolex gmt is a tool watch anymore, it feels like a piece of luxury jewelry.
a rolex gmt is not double the cost it's eight times as you can't get a new rolex gmt, tudor Pepsi,s level out at about £1800 on ebay but people want 14k for the rolex version
A good informative presentation, the Tudor GMT is on my radar. Regarding Omega, they’ve had the quick set GMT / true GMT for a long long time. My 22 year old Seamaster 50th anniversary GMT has that feature.✌🏼
So if a watch has quick set function for the hour hand, it loses the quick set date function? I'd rather have the quick set date than quick set hour hand.
Maybe I'm a moron, but please enlight me: this watch can track 3 diferent time zones (basic or home, second with gmt hand and third with a bezel). Why on earth is a quick set of hour hand so great on this kind of watch, who needs fourth time zone?? It's perfect for "normal" watch, but here?? Thanks for your answers.
I have both , love both Rolex GMT & Tudor GMT , Rolex is more modern , Tudor have very original “ vintage feel “ , I think Tudor is building it own loving crowd , loving Tudor as being Tudor NOT a lesser Rolex or people not able to afford Rolex then go for Tudor , really hope Tudor can eventually move away from this saying . Interesting enough Wearing a Tudor actually more trendy ,more unstated , humble , a person who appreciates good watches with passion. Vs wearing a Rolex indeed a very good watch but just another person only know following the masses
Almost pulled the trigger on this one, but decided in the end to bypass. I have a Tudor Black bay ETA, which I adore, but aside from the movement and bezel color is the same watch. And i have the Pepsi GMT 16700. If this was a coke bezel, I would have definitely pulled the trigger.
Yeah I totally understand. Owning a GMT Master 16710 means that it wouldn't make sense for me to really buy it either. I barely wear all of the watches I have now. The BB is such a well done watch...
I tried it and looked amazing. Stunning piece but damn if they could just make it a BB58 GMT - this piece is just a bit too thick for my not-massive-wrists 😒
Im a Tudor fan boy so when asked whats that? I say its a Tudor, who wants to say oh its Rolex's younger brother when they have there own style but shared DNA.

Tudor is where Rolex was in 1960, imo. The Tudor GMT doubles as a diver, that’s worth a lot!

The Tudor GMT is a nice watch that has a good price and an amazing weekend 72 hours power reserve. Nice J Anthony you show us how the GMT function work.
72 or 70 hour reserve?
Just bought the Tudor Black Bay S&G and ordered the GMT. The GMT has a waiting time of 12 to 18 months here in the UK. Thanks for the review.

Tudor is the same level as Rolex and half the price ,Rolex is over priced for its cheaper watches
I couldn't decide whether to buy this or the New Rolex Air King. After humming and ahhing for a day or so i simply decided to buy both.
Sounds like a solid solution to me!
if cash is not a problem then why not !
Great decision.
Can you buy me one?
Just about to do the same, got the Air King a couple of months ago and this weekend get to pick up the GMT!
I have to agree, its a classic GMT style design very well done.

I love mine but personally I think some lume on the bezel would've been nice for some orientation for the GMT or at least a lume pip.
Great Looking watch
the only Down thing is that the case is too thick and the 41 mm size is too much for this particular watch in my opinion
Nice vid Btw
I don't like all the reports of defective date turn. Not good. Their need to work on QC.
And you need to work on your English.
Great review mate! Best review of this watch yet!
Thank you Joseph, I really appreciate that!
The problem is try finding a Ad dealer that has one in stock. The stainless model is going on average for 5000 brand new. Still for 5K you buying watch that your great, great grandkids will be able to enjoy. The case is a bit thick but not crazy thick. All in all good job Rolex for adding this watch to your Tudor line.
I have multiple Rolex watches but got the tudor bug and now own this and the Pelagos LHD. Between the two the Tudors get 90% of wrist time.
This intro music is dope! A fade out would be better though imho nice video j
Thanks Suman, I'll keep that in mind. This is the first intro music everyone seems to like so I'll be sure to keep it.
Excellent review, thank you 👍🏴
Just got one to compliment my explorer. Love it. Great review.

*"the sweet spot" also depends on the wrist size!!! I hate the polished sides of these (fingerprint, scratch, ...), I hope they make brushed sides!*
Excellent watch and excellent video, well done sir
Love the review but super confused at your math.
You set the GMT hand at 4:00 AM then said you were 6 hours ahead and you set it to 8:00 AM…
Do you like Tudor Pelagos and do you recommend it for a versatile everyday dive watch to wear in most occasions?
Great review. Appreciated the details.
As I mention on another channel (really wishful thinking) I will wait for a BB GMT 58 :-). The watch is beautiful but everything larger than 40 mm and thicker than 12 it is just too big. it a pity. Tudor could have done two 58 versions: Diver and GMT. Great video. I really enjoyed the detailed review. thanks. Check the Monta Skyquest, it is a really nice alternative.
Yeah, the 58 seems to be pretty popular lately and I can see why. Not familiar with the Skyquest, I'll be sure to take a look.
Beautiful Tudor!!
Awesome watch all the way around . I have a Black-Bay and it’s awesome perfect size . Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching
You can also gauge north as a compass. You turn the watch with the hour hand facing away from you and the gmt hand will point north.
It is a very good watch and I can see why people like it. It's clearly less expensive than the Rolex GMT master, and as such could be an alternative, but I guess people have different definitions of "affordable". But good review as always
Yeah, well said. I'm sure it comes off condescending when I say affordable to some people. I by no means am trying to imply that $4,000 is a small sum of money. I assume that people interested in this watch would consider it a fair deal compared to its Rolex cousin.
@@JANTHONYCHANNEL no not condescending just affordable is a difficult concept to get across as everyone is different. As said great review man, and you are definitely right it's a very good alternative to the Rolex 👍
Thanks Chris!
I think it's availability as much as affordability
This is just beautiful watch.
I have bb 41 black dial, i have bb bronze and now i want this one.
And since i bought my bb 41 i just stopped wearing my submariner. So i may even sell it. Not quite decided yet but i have these thoughts.
The serial numbers on modern (in house movement) Tudors are on the underside of the lugs. Please advise if they are visible without having to take off the bracelet. Thank you.
Great piece just let down by the dull bezel colours..should have been in your face blue and red 🔵🔴
I actually really like the colors but to your point they do not "pop" by any stretch of the imagination...
KevG1962 It would be interesting to see how they fade over time.
I couldn't disagree more. The color choice is aligned with the overall elegant and retro inspired design. I would almost like to see an even more muted red. Or a more "mature" color combination like a rootbeer or something in that spirit. Anyway these colors give a perfectly coherent finish in my opinion and I would love to be able to afford one eventually. I am very happy to see less "in your face" colors and proportions lately!
also, I read somewhere that due to the aluminium bezel. the colors won't fade overtime. Can anyone confirm?
The bezel colors are what makes this watch the perfect GMT. Not cartoonish blurple and pink like the Rolex GMT. Great deep subtle blue and darker red. Gives is a vintage vibe. Bezel is perfect IMO
I could not disagree more. Way better than the purple and pinky Rolex
I’ve had mine for about 2 months and absolutely love it. I have many watches including a Submariner, this is my go to watch. Some have said that the thickness is a issue but I do not find it to be the case, no pun intended, it is extremely wearable, you would have to try it on to see if it suits you.
Beautiful watch
Great video
Do you know if the glass is sapphire or not I have tried to find the answer on so many web searches even on the Tudor site. I saw an interesting RUclips video where someone put a small drop of water on a number of watch glasses and only on the sapphire it did not flow or spread
of course it is sapphire
Rolex is so common and impersonal. Great watch but do you really want to have same watch as all other people. Go you own way there a plenty other brands find a watch that represents your real style. In this case I would choose Tudor.
Less is more.
Beautiful watch, Great review.
I think it is such a beautiful watch. Like seriously I like it more then the rolex gmt honestly. I don't feel like the rolex gmt is a tool watch anymore, it feels like a piece of luxury jewelry.
J, did you hear about the datechange-problems with the Tudor 5652 movement?
Cannot find it anywhere. Are they holding them back?
Now you need a video to explain to someone why you didn't buy a Rolex..and what the Tudor brand is.
Or in my case, why I own the Rolex but want to sell it for a Tudor... : )
J. ANTHONY What I need is a way to explain the Tudor brand without sounding that I just cannot afford a Rolex. Truer in my case than yours. lol
Are you sure the movement is anti-magnetic? how do you know for sure?
a rolex gmt is not double the cost it's eight times as you can't get a new rolex gmt, tudor Pepsi,s level out at about £1800 on ebay but people want 14k for the rolex version
Tudor is for true watch enthusiasts. Rolex is for guys with an ego and don’t understand watches.
Awesome review buddy!
Thank you!
How do you find the case size? I have thin wrist im worried this might look so thick like that of a deepsea rolex
Never adjust the time moving the hands counterclockwise... it will add life to the movement.
It won't add life to the movement. It will avoid shortening the movements life.
A good informative presentation, the Tudor GMT is on my radar.
Regarding Omega, they’ve had the quick set GMT / true GMT for a long long time. My 22 year old Seamaster 50th anniversary GMT has that feature.✌🏼
I kind of wish the bezel colors were a bit more vibrant. Is the bezel insert aluminum or ceramic ?
Thanks. Great review.
So if a watch has quick set function for the hour hand, it loses the quick set date function? I'd rather have the quick set date than quick set hour hand.
Does the date can be set without moving the hours hand, like normal date regulation on others watches?
Maybe I'm a moron, but please enlight me: this watch can track 3 diferent time zones (basic or home, second with gmt hand and third with a bezel). Why on earth is a quick set of hour hand so great on this kind of watch, who needs fourth time zone?? It's perfect for "normal" watch, but here?? Thanks for your answers.
+Ernest Krajnc I like it when I’m flying between different time zones and want to just quick change the time but I get your point
I do love the watch.. it looks great. But I wouldn't take it or buy it over a Rolex GMT.
Thanks for the video J.A.
I have both , love both Rolex GMT & Tudor GMT , Rolex is more modern , Tudor have very original “ vintage feel “ , I think Tudor is building it own loving crowd , loving Tudor as being Tudor NOT a lesser Rolex or people not able to afford Rolex then go for Tudor , really hope Tudor can eventually move away from this saying . Interesting enough Wearing a Tudor actually more trendy ,more unstated , humble , a person who appreciates good watches with passion. Vs wearing a Rolex indeed a very good watch but just another person only know following the masses
Excellent review, brother.
Thanks brother!
Almost pulled the trigger on this one, but decided in the end to bypass. I have a Tudor Black bay ETA, which I adore, but aside from the movement and bezel color is the same watch. And i have the Pepsi GMT 16700. If this was a coke bezel, I would have definitely pulled the trigger.
Yeah I totally understand. Owning a GMT Master 16710 means that it wouldn't make sense for me to really buy it either. I barely wear all of the watches I have now. The BB is such a well done watch...
I tried it and looked amazing. Stunning piece but damn if they could just make it a BB58 GMT - this piece is just a bit too thick for my not-massive-wrists 😒
Im a Tudor fan boy so when asked whats that? I say its a Tudor, who wants to say oh its Rolex's younger brother when they have there own style but shared DNA.
You handled the Tudor Black Bay 58 already?
Well done!
I'm struggling to decide whether to keep my Omega Planet Ocean 8500xl, or my Tudor BB GMT. Help!
Tudor GMT, more likelihood to hold value
I love it! I have the 79230R and love it as well but I. Ay have to sell mine and buy this bad boy!
+Robert Sanchez yeah, it is very nice in person
Thanks for great review, buying one tomorrow 👍
Tudor burgundy. I just love it,,👏👏🇬🇧✊
