I must say I have owned this watch for over 2 weeks now. I just love it ! I have no problem viewing this watch on the wrist. I also find it comfortable on my 7-1/2 wrist. Just melts into my wrist. I Picked this up to mark my beating the odd's. After my injurie all the doctors said I would be in a wheelchair in 10 years. Over 12 years now I do need a Cain to walk with, But I am still walking!!!! So this was a gift to myself for continuing to prove the experts wrong!! I absolutely enjoy having this on my wrist....
Congratulation mate on beating the odds and getting back on your feet, it is a fantastic timepiece to mark the celebration of your recovery. I have purchased the same timepiece for myself to inspire & cheer up myself as I was feeling low with gout attack a couple of months ago!
I almost didn't 'like' the video because of the conditions required to enter the giveaway, but when you summarised the watch with unswerving honesty, your integrity won me over as it always does. Grazie, TGV, grazie :)
@@mikec3454 , has anyone in 2020 purchased a new Tudor GMT with a date wheel issue? I purchased one recently and no issues so far. Naturally my fingers are crossed but I believe that issue is likely in the rear view mirror. Cheers.
Honest review with some interesting points made. Yes it’s thicker than a Rolex but so are countless other watches. I find it very comfortable on the bracelet with two links removed,one from each side. I’ve checked my bracelet and you can remove 1link from the 6 o’clock end and 3 from the 12 o’clock end. So someone with smaller wrists can will be able to adjust the bracelet to their size,no problem. I think the watch has great wrist presence,no mistaking it for anything else. Regarding the bezel,I think the choice of aluminium over ceramic is right. It’s in keeping with the watch’s position in the heritage line.
Bought mine a few weeks ago and it's been the only watch on my wrist ever since I found a nice strap for it. I never take it off unless I'm showering, and it just feels amazing. I catch myself looking at the watch a bit too much lol... And this is coming from someone who has owned and currently owns several Rolex Subs, Datejusts and GMTs.
Tgv my name is Jarod I live in south Florida I'm 39 years old with a wife and kids , just a regular guy and you have influenced me exponentially in this Hobby I think you are one of the best content creators and I just want you to know that no matter what anybody else says you are still number one please don't change a thing !!! thank you for your honest reviews on all scale of watches keep it up man and we will all keep watching👍👍👍
I cannot agree more with you. Excellent watch and as you know I am a big Tudor fan. Definitely too big for my wrist so for sure waiting for a 39mm. What gets me into Tudor more and more is in-house movement. With ETA out of the way now there is room to build up a strong reputation (if there was some necessity to do it of course). Nothing against ETA but when a watch maker transitions from getting a movement (Miyota, Sellita, ETA, and so on) to designing a movement the prestige of the watch maker goes up to the roof. I have nothing against getting a movement (recently I actually pre-order a Naken), but I really love in-house movement. I believe it's the natural consequence for learning much more about watches! Excellent video and reviews. I call this level of review X rays review!
Very kind of you and Timeless to do this for the fans. I just entered the contest. I too have such a small wrist so if i was blessed with this beauty I would give it to my father as he got me into watches and has done so much for me.
Thnx for sharing. Enjoyed watching. Tried this exact watch on today. Loved it. Will buy it. To me it didn't feel bulky but rather slim with a modest 41mm, 14,5mm thickness and only 175 grams. Then again, i wear a Deep Sea which is 44mm, 17.7mm thick and weights 220 gram. A beast. So now every other watch feels small. With that said, the Tudor gmt really felt like a class act. Sophisticated yet rugged. Classy yet workhorse'ish. Shiney yet brushed. Moderm yet vintage. I really think they hit a homerun with this watch. Came here to see if it was me and i was simply starstruck but after a few reviews i see everybody loves it. I get why... Once you tried it on it's hard to think of anything else. I'm gonna buy it tomorrow. Thanks again for your review.
Don't look now Sir, but you're about to hit a quarter million subs! That's bonkers! This comment isn't so much about the video as it is about my transition from casual enthusiast to full-on watch fanatic and how one TGV was pretty much the catalyst. I've always watched the Baselworld reports for keen items but only as a curiosity. This year something clicked when I saw your 2018 BW videos and I've since driven head-long into the horological history research behind some of these marvelous little time machines (double meaning intended) and the historical relevance of their manufacturers. I started my collection with an Oris Carl Brashear because it's a stunner for starters and as a retired Marine it fits within the subcategory (military theme) limit of watches I need to self impose so I don't go too overboard. Then I saw your video on the Marathon and of course the images of that GSAR with ETA and Marine Corps Eagle, Globe and Anchor naturally became an instant must have! Then I saw your custom Undone Watch Co. video... You see where I'm going with this. Anyway, Thanks for all the good gouge you put out and congratulations on all of your success and imminent milestone. You're a class act my man.
Nice intro👍🏽 😃love the old school Batman (moments later fill)👍🏽 Great watch and I completely agree the proportions are off - should have been based on the BB58 model Funny but I feel that is one of the main issues with GrandSeiko - the size doesn’t lend well with the luxury category- one reason I think the Subby gets such high regard is because it’s such a refined piece, the movement, it’s proportions, which lend to its versatility. Another great review👍🏽🍻
Gutted here in the UK we cannot enter the competition TGV. However, whilst I agree with the video on the Tudor GMT, I find it a real struggle to get a Tudor watch to fit me and feel comfortable. I’m praying the 58 BB os the answer as I would like a Tudor in my collection. Please try and review one when they are available. Also, if your interested in the latest Rolex availability saga PM me and I will give you the details. Keep up the good work. Good luck to all you guys entering the competition
Amazing video as usual ! I've been binge watching your videos everyday for 2 weeks now when prior to finding you I knew nothing about watches. Chose my 2 first automatic watches after watching some of your videos (SNK809 and SKX013) and I absolutely love them ! Thank you for getting me into this wonderful world. Keep up the good work, Your young fan in Montreal🇨🇦
Thank you so much Carl for sharing that. You have no idea how much that pleases me to hear. Congrats on your choices, outstanding choices too! I hope you have many, many years of enjoyment. Best regards, TGV
Wish I could enter the watch contest but I don't have a Facebook account for a variety of personal and professional reasons. Guess I'll be passing on Timeless Luxury. Oh well, still an amazing watch although I am also confused as to the thickness. Thanks for the great video TGV and I appreciate all of your hard work! In other news, picked up an Orient Ray II Black Raven and put it on black silicon straps for my travels this summer. Love it and the value can't be beat! All the best and cheers!
Thank you so much for saying so. The fact you appreciated the time that goes into this speaks volumes about you. Congrats on the Ray, cracking choice, they certainly got so much right on that watch. Enjoy tour adventures this summer with it, a perfect companion! Best regards, TGV
Again, many thanks to your hard work. I made sure to watch all the Urban Gentry videos covering the Black Raven before purchasing it. As someone who has dabbled in video production, I am constantly amazed at your hard work and dedication. Since I have started following your channel I have also picked up a Bambino and a Seiko Samurai, all thoroughly researched including watching your videos. Its why I joined the Urban Gentry Patreon account, it seemed the least I could do to say a heartfelt "thank you".
Is it not possible to just swap those links over to the other side to even out a shorter strap? good review though .. I have a larger wrist.. but when I tried a black bay with the new in house movement the height from wrist was off putting.. but I still may have to have one of these GMT’s as it’s a stunning piece and I think it’s just what your used to after a time of wearing a new watch. I dig your channel though, keep up the good work.. love the Bat man tune! 😂👍😊
Finally, I have been longing for this review. My dream watch! But alas, the giveaway is only for American citizens... 😭 But why? A lot of fans all over the world are watching and loving your videos, how come we don't get a chance?
Just getting around to this for a second time actually. Appreciate your candid review. Owning this watch for about a year now, I agree with you regarding its thickness and top heaviness. I have a 7” wrist and it’s not as much of an issue.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL & I AM A HUGE FAN! I ONLY HAVE 4 VINTAGE OMEGAS FOR NOW... BUT MY WATCH COLLECTION IS GROWING, THANKS TO YOU!! YOU DEFINITELY HELPED ME GET INTO THIS HOBBY... SO THANK YOU FOR THAT!! CHEERS FROM NORTH CAROLINA!!
I don't understand the complaints about thickness. Variety is the reason to have a well assembled watch collection. This Tudor is a beautiful piece. TGVs daydate has me envious when I see it. Thanks for the review, you always expand my knowledge.
I bought this watch in 2018 and it is my #1 worn watch since then. I love it. It is big but my wrist is 6 3/4” and I feel fine with it. It’s my go-to for travel and also just when I need a good looking robust watch. I wear on bracelet but have used thick leather as well.
Thanks for your review of this... may I ask have you had chance to get hands on with the Steinhart Homages? (Especially the 39mm). It would be interesting to see your take on the Rolex alongside the Tudor and the ETA based Steinhart too. Anyways thanks for the fantastic video as always, you could say it’s the Kippers Knickers... 😁 Paul
TGV, I'm a young fan of yours and have recently ordered my first automatic time piece, the Seiko 5 SNK803 and cannot wait for it to be delivered. I want to say thanks for sparking a great interest in horology and I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thanks TGV, I didn't experience any of the issues as you did with the size. I wear the 41 mm Black Bay 79230N nearly every day (7" wrist) and it's very comfortable and accurate.
I just want to say that before I started watching your channel, I knew almost nothing about watches, but know I have a much better appreciation watches and how they work and am know thinking of buying my third watch will most likely be the skx009k (my first Seiko) and without your channel I probably would have never heard of it. So I just want to say thank you.
To bad I don’t partake in social media such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. I’ve been in love with divers tool watches since I was a PADI dive master in my younger days. To this day I prefer dive watches over any other style of watch. Unfortunately I won’t be able to enter even though I’d love to have a chance, congratulations to the lucky person who wins this beautiful watch. Another excellent review.
What a cracking review! It's really nice to hear you focus on the negatives of a watch a bit more and give a nicely balanced opinion. I'm still waiting for the BB58 (39mm) to arrive in London as I think the slimmer case will really work for me but you have now made me think it may be sensible to see if they produce a slimmer GMT next year!
Long time lurker and reasonably new to the channel, but after watching one video I was hooked! Have nearly finished watching them all and this one certainly didn't disappoint. The Black Bay has always been at the top of my list! - TGV, you're an inspiration and it's so refreshing to see someone with such passion. A true class act! Long may it continue!
Well, thank you Daniel for such dedication and kind words of support. It is deeply, and I mean deeply appreciated. Onwards and upwards my friend. Best regards, TGV
Excellent watch, being similarly afflicted with the smaller wrist I will never be able to pull one off successfully, great honest review TGV. Shame the competition is only open to the US. But keep up the good work. Kindest regards B.
jeremy arroyo keep in mind that this channel is not a loud voice in RUclips community. It's a gentleman contribution to the watch world. These days social media love loud show off. We are here to understand, learn, and share a passion like we are around a table drinking tea at 5pm. I am glad you stopped by and had a tea with you us today. Don't be stranger.
Even with a 7.7 inch wrist I sold my 41mm BB and planning on buying the BB fifty eight 39mm. The Pepsi bezel GMT in more reasonable dimensions would be a huge success for sure.
Great review as always, lovely watch. Good to see you not afraid to point out the negatives. Shame the competition is only open to USA residents but cest la vie. Prob be too big for my wrist given your comments. Look forward to your next video (and still awaiting your travel vlogs haha 😉). Have a good week ahead and good luck to everyone in the giveaway 🍀
Thank you for the honest and full review! Will you also review the Black Bay Fifty-Eight?? That one is such a beautiful watch. Hopefully next year they will release a snowflake dial version of the 58!
Nice review. I actually bought this watch in person at an AD this summer. I have 6.25" wrist as well and I've got to say I find the sizing perfect. I do not however wear this on the steel bracelet. I wear it on natos or leather straps. I also love the aluminum bezel and its coloring. Gorgeous watch and great for my first luxury piece!
Your the reason I bought my Seiko 5. Next week I’m going to get a ColaReb in Venezia grey cause I saw that combo done on a previous post. It looks balanced and magnificent. This channel has pretty much gotten me into watches. If I won this I would be beside myself!
Thank you for reviewing the Tudor GMT, I’ve been waiting to see your review, very helpful. Quick question, you mentioned the gmt is too thick, it seems to be the same size as the pelagos 14.3mm. So do you think the pelagos is also too thick? I want to get one, but always worried about versatility of it.
I have been watching your channel for about a year now and you have turned me on to a lot of great watches (I’m not really a collector I started with a Tissot Seastar 1000 then an SAS Stealth Tiger and recently on a trip to Germany I got a Stowa Flieger GMT), which I really thank you for. I would love to win that Tudor for my father.
A good & candid, honest review. The fit of the original ETA-movement Black Bay was better because the case back was dead flat; the in-house models including this GMT all bulge between the case sides & the wrist. Looking forward to the the Fifty-Eight, i think it will look fantastic on sub-7" wrists like yours & mine. Best always my friend.
TGV....you seemed to give the Pelagos a glowing review. What are your thoughts of comparing the GMT to the Pelagos. I believe the GMT is thinner by a touch since the Pelagos is 15mm thick. Thoughts on why the different feeling? Thank you very much for the chance to win. What a great opportunity. I fly heavy cargo for the AF and would love to give this a global tour. 🤞
I wonder why they made this so big? I agree with you about the expanding bracelet. How does it compare in size with the black bay chronograph? One thing I like about all the black bays, like this gmt and the chrono is that they have that 200m water resistance. I think the Rolex equivalent tend to be less resistant to water.
Great review, loving your work. Just become the proud owner, which is a miracle because these are also becoming incredibly difficult to buy unless you are a regular customer etc. I gave up some time ago with trying for a "pepsi" but in the UK at least this Tudor GMT is almost impossible to obtain unless going through the used market and then you are already talking about at least £500-£1000 mark up. Got mine for list, worn 5 times, so chuffed is an understatement. Along with David Barclay, I have also purchased a Timex Marlin and have to say love it (or will do once it has a decent strap) Many thanks. These videos are sooooo interesting and informative, love them!
Thanks for this video, very informative! I've got a 170mm wrist and looking to buying my first watch. I like the look of the GMT although my heart tells me to buy the bb58 for the smaller size. Will one have a better resale value over the other? I can't decide!!
I suspect that my 8 plus wrist would wear it better. I do love your recommendation of the Timex Marlin though. They are so classic and beater basic in design, it’s a wonder they run so well. A marvel. I actually also attained a German made 1960 Timex Viscount Self Wind, the Ebayer didn’t know what it was. Great find because of you. Thanks TGV.
I just love my Tudor GMT . I have a small wrist 6 3/4’’ , I find it wears perfectly , comfortable and don’t know it’s there . Accuracy, just spot on . - + 0 . That’s letting it rest overnight. If left on overnight it runs at - 1 sec per day . Better than my Omega 300 M . Just love it . Fellow Anglo/American. NC , USA
Excellent video TGV. I have a Tudor black bay red ETA and I absolutely love it. Wish the GMT was out when I bought mine and I probably would’ve gone with the GMT.
Excellent video! Not the first review of this beauty but surely one of the best. I much prefer the colors on the Tudor to those on the modern Rolex. I own a Black Bay ref. 79230n and I can confirm two shortcomings: the watch is top heavy and I have hard time finding the perfect fit with that clasp. The Pelagos clasp is way better.
Thank you sir, great to hear from you again. Ahhh yes that Pelagos clasp, great idea! I guess that is were I was going with the spring loaded strechty bracelet. Best regards, TGV
TGV, my man! What professional intro - loved it! Beside being a crazy watch guy I also do love aviation so thank you for the great intro and as always a well done episode! And... I'm nearly about to buy the 114270 full set thanks to your awesome reveiws 😊 Greetings from Sweden!
Such a nice Sunday evening surprise! Hi TGV! Great stylish intro. You became a professional reviewer. Love how fluent, spontaneous, yet pure class your style is. Loved Bach piano from the background too. :) Greetings, and kind wishes: Robert ;)
Some people buy cooking books even though they don't cook. I watch your channel even though I rarely buy watches. Very relaxing and addicting channel. You should go on a live tour. Imagine that.
TGV, Your videos have truly got me into this passion. Picked up my first watch, an Orient Bambino, last month and haven’t looked back. Thanks for all you do! Best, James
I think the Steinhart Ocean One Pepsi GMT is a great alternative for people who cant get their hands on a Rolex Pepsi or who dont want to spend thousands on a Tudor GMT as an interim GMT watch. Swiss Made with a decent ETA movement. Also available in a 39mm and isn't as bulky as the Tudor GMT. Sure its probably not the same ultra high standards as the Tudor or Rolex but from what reviewers have said, its pretty damn good and for only $550, ten times less than the Tudor, its a more attainable piece for collectors on a budget. Bad news is that they're all sold out at the moment (their value has held pretty well too) and you will need to go on a waitlist (ha, the irony).
Getting the Tudor for a birthday present. I have always loved the Rolex GMT but when they started going upwards of 10K for a stainless dive watch they lost me. The Tudor looks better to my eyes. I like the "classic" look without the crown guards, the coin edge is a must and the colors on the bezel looks dressier. Tudor hit it out of the park.
Please state that the competition is open to U.S residents only! I am in the UK and entered then read the small print, please have a competition so your subscribers from everywhere else can win also, thanks.
The thing that draws me to Tudor over Rolex is the aluminium bezel and my dislike for ceramics. Got to agree about the bracelet just wish they had made half links as a minimum! Great review 👍
How does the movemet compare to the Rolex counterpart besides the fact that there is little difference regarding the tolerance limits (Cosc vs. -2/+2) ?
Can't believe you are actually giving out one of these bauties out to some lucky member! Great stuff TGV, would love to know how is your ORIS doing on a different video. I've been looking to buy one, very conflicted if to get an Aquis or the 65 diver with a bronze bezel. Good luck to all
I got myself an Aquis slightly more than a week ago and it’s absolutely amazing, the quality of the watch is outstanding and the rubber strap is superior to anything I wore before, it’s super comfortable to wear.
I own this watch and it wears pretty much like the regular Black Bay. Maybe a little better because of the bevel running along the bottom of the case. Faux rivets are pretty much a none issue as once it's on your wrist it's hard to notice them. I'm still on the wall about the GMT (small snowflake) hand, believe it or not. Sometimes I have a hard time finding it along the outer track of the dial especially when it's right over the indices. But all in all a great watch if your wrist is 7" or so.
Good point about the bezel and the height of the watch TGV. It does look a bit tall in profile and it would have looked stunning with a sapphire bezel. I have a seven inch wrist, so, maybe it’d look a little less bulky for me. Not sure though. Enjoyed the review once again👍🏻
I have a 1926 and the steel bracelet is excellent quality and accurate watch. It looks brand new although I wore it regularly for 6 months. After 3 weeks of waiting, I secured my preferred Black Bay for the extra power reserve. The AD says the Black Bay models are closer to Rolex quality.
What happened to the Timeless Luxury Tudor Giveaway? You had said a winner would be announced two weeks from the the date of the video. Now i cant find anything. Its as if they took all of our info for marketing and cancelled the giveaway.
Try stopping me. Sadly I am rather behind in my reviews, I have months of videos yet to make, but I might just have to bloody buy one!!! Thank you, Best regards, TGV
@@theurbangentry I'm lucky enough to own a BB58 & have the same wrist size as yourself & it fits perfectly. If you review it, I can see the Govnor's buying another watch :)
Tudor hit it out of the park with this watch. Its a stunning time piece and sits well on the wrist. It must have a few things to give it a Tudor look and not so much a Rolex GMT look,. If Tudor comes out with a 38 mm version it will be spectacular but would lean more to a ladies version unless you are a very petite guy.
I’ve got my Tudor GMT on a rubber strap and it sits closer to my wrist than when it was on its leather strap. So it doesn’t seem as tall as it did when I first got it.
I own this watch (7-27-18) and from day one of ownership I tested it for almost a week of constant wearing. First day, ~+1.2 s/day, second day +1s/day separate and discrete from the first day, diminishing through the week without resetting to less than half a second a day fast then settling into +0.346 s/day AVERAGE on the 5th day after 4 consecutive days without resetting. Any rumors saying they are set to lesser standards than Rolex cannot be proven by me. Judy (Bachendorf's Dallas) indicated she thought the standards were the same for the new Tudor MT56xx movements as the Rolex. Two days before I purchased the watch, I held it in my hand and wound it. I had to check TWICE to be sure the crown position was correct as it felt as if no winding was taking place. The movement of the previously dead second hand proved I was doing SOMETHING like winding, but you REALLY have to trust that the watch is being wound. Previously, only my Ball (2893-2) (purchased at Timeless Luxury, Frisco) felt anywhere close to this smooth. This watch sets a benchmark that cannot be surpassed as you cannot surpass the feel of NOTHING. Bicycle chain link ends on the steel is a bit silly. So since everyone is waiting for steel, Judy guided me gently to the leather. The BB GMT is perfect size for my 7 inch wrist. I'm playing with leather straps...1 Shinola, 1 Filson, 2 Hirsch, 1 Strapcode. Great fun as the 2 Hirsch bands were discontinued curved end stock. All are comfortable, but $65 for each of these handsome Hirsches is inexpensive! I'm saving the original leather red dirt brown deployant...I'm hard on bands. By the way, many Tudor GMT sellers are tacking on $500-1500 premium depending in leather or bracelet. No glued on wart of a lens. Understated colors, layout, fonts, etc. All these qualities make the new Rolex GMT look garish and flashy to me. The Rolex GMT price is ridiculous. Wilsdorf will sell many times more Tudors. I can forgive the 14.5mm height as it has GMT "excuse". The Black Bay ETA is 12.6mm (YOUR red one) The Black Bay 5602s (red, black, blue) are now 14.8mm...(I want the ETA back...in RED) I went to Bachendorf's and measured them all. (Ask them! It was an adventure in itself!) The watch you want is already out...you don't have to wait another year. The BB 58 (39 and thin) is the one which will fit you PERFECTLY. Waiting to see it in the metal. I've got my notice in with Judy.
Ciao TGV! Come stai? Since watching your videos I have taken this passion much more seriously and now find myself resarching a brands history and achievements just for fun haha (nerdy maybe?) Watches are something that many people don't appreciate unfortunately but your vids can definitely spark that interest. Well done!
2 questions: Is Boccia a decent brand? And is the quartz miyota 1s13 a decent movement? I've fallen in love with one of their watches, and the specs seem good and the design is beautiful.
Delighted to hear of the negatives, as you say few publications really tell it as it is. Not sure I agree that there will be a smaller one next year, I think they are more likely to just offer the 58 in other colours.
That is very generous of Timeless to do that. I'll definitely enter and hope to win this beautiful watch. Happen to be wearing my Black Bay Red as I watched this. Mine's the earlier ETA version - definitely thinner than this GMT (and the regular inhouse version) by a good mill or 2. I wish Tudor had stuck with the Rose on the dial. Totally understand your comments about Tudor being more "toolish" and affordable than Rolex. Rather like what Rolex used to be. Ciao, John
Normally I'm very aware of sponsorships because it tends to ruin contents in gaming videos. TGV just made it so smooth when promoting your sponsors, loved it.
Haha, you flatter me but sadly this is in no way a sponsored video. If it were to be I would not be able to say anything negative about Tudor. Thank you Christian. Best regards, TGV
Great show TGV! Great to see these warches, almost like seeing them in the flesh! I do not get to see Rolex/Tudor in our local shop windows where I live, so it's nice to watch the reviews. Gives me a true feeling of what they are 'Really' like. Thanks again Stu, the Brit in Kentucky
Too bad it’s US only, still love that you give your followers the opportunity to win an expensive quality watch. I always watch your video’s and you are one of the people that got me hooked on watches. Last year i bought my first swiss automatic watch, a certina ds action diver (the blue one). Since i’m only 18 years old this was the most i could afford, but as soon as i’m making “real” money i’m going to go crazy on buying watches so thanks for that 😂
I must say I have owned this watch for over 2 weeks now. I just love it ! I have no problem viewing this watch on the wrist. I also find it comfortable on my 7-1/2 wrist. Just melts into my wrist. I Picked this up to mark my beating the odd's. After my injurie all the doctors said I would be in a wheelchair in 10 years. Over 12 years now I do need a Cain to walk with, But I am still walking!!!! So this was a gift to myself for continuing to prove the experts wrong!! I absolutely enjoy having this on my wrist....
Congratulations on your health and your celebration with an incredible timepiece!
Congratulation mate on beating the odds and getting back on your feet, it is a fantastic timepiece to mark the celebration of your recovery. I have purchased the same timepiece for myself to inspire & cheer up myself as I was feeling low with gout attack a couple of months ago!
I almost didn't 'like' the video because of the conditions required to enter the giveaway, but when you summarised the watch with unswerving honesty, your integrity won me over as it always does. Grazie, TGV, grazie :)
This GMT in the Tudor BB58 sizing will be an absolute winner. I seriously hope that Tudor are getting or are already on this.
Fingers crossed, so glad you agree.
Thank you sir!
Best regards,
TGV
My thinking exactly. Originally signed up for the GMT but decieded for the BB58 due to size. If they bring out a 39 GMT I'm all in!
TriforceRich BB58 is too small and the GMT too fat, they need something inbetween, or is that too Rolexy?
Hopefully that fixes the dreaded date issue the GMT has as well...
@@mikec3454 , has anyone in 2020 purchased a new Tudor GMT with a date wheel issue? I purchased one recently and no issues so far. Naturally my fingers are crossed but I believe that issue is likely in the rear view mirror.
Cheers.
Honest review with some interesting points made. Yes it’s thicker than a Rolex but so are countless other watches. I find it very comfortable on the bracelet with two links removed,one from each side. I’ve checked my bracelet and you can remove 1link from the 6 o’clock end and 3 from the 12 o’clock end. So someone with smaller wrists can will be able to adjust the bracelet to their size,no problem. I think the watch has great wrist presence,no mistaking it for anything else. Regarding the bezel,I think the choice of aluminium over ceramic is right. It’s in keeping with the watch’s position in the heritage line.
Bought mine a few weeks ago and it's been the only watch on my wrist ever since I found a nice strap for it. I never take it off unless I'm showering, and it just feels amazing. I catch myself looking at the watch a bit too much lol... And this is coming from someone who has owned and currently owns several Rolex Subs, Datejusts and GMTs.

I cannot agree more with you. Excellent watch and as you know I am a big Tudor fan. Definitely too big for my wrist so for sure waiting for a 39mm. What gets me into Tudor more and more is in-house movement. With ETA out of the way now there is room to build up a strong reputation (if there was some necessity to do it of course). Nothing against ETA but when a watch maker transitions from getting a movement (Miyota, Sellita, ETA, and so on) to designing a movement the prestige of the watch maker goes up to the roof. I have nothing against getting a movement (recently I actually pre-order a Naken), but I really love in-house movement. I believe it's the natural consequence for learning much more about watches! Excellent video and reviews. I call this level of review X rays review!
Very kind of you and Timeless to do this for the fans. I just entered the contest. I too have such a small wrist so if i was blessed with this beauty I would give it to my father as he got me into watches and has done so much for me.
Ive always looked at Tudor as a major compatitor of Rolex. This piece is absolutely stunning! I love their decision to keep it all in-house
I love the name!!
Thnx for sharing. Enjoyed watching. Tried this exact watch on today. Loved it. Will buy it. To me it didn't feel bulky but rather slim with a modest 41mm, 14,5mm thickness and only 175 grams. Then again, i wear a Deep Sea which is 44mm, 17.7mm thick and weights 220 gram. A beast. So now every other watch feels small.
With that said, the Tudor gmt really felt like a class act. Sophisticated yet rugged. Classy yet workhorse'ish. Shiney yet brushed. Moderm yet vintage. I really think they hit a homerun with this watch.
Came here to see if it was me and i was simply starstruck but after a few reviews i see everybody loves it. I get why...
Once you tried it on it's hard to think of anything else. I'm gonna buy it tomorrow. Thanks again for your review.
Don't look now Sir, but you're about to hit a quarter million subs! That's bonkers! This comment isn't so much about the video as it is about my transition from casual enthusiast to full-on watch fanatic and how one TGV was pretty much the catalyst. I've always watched the Baselworld reports for keen items but only as a curiosity. This year something clicked when I saw your 2018 BW videos and I've since driven head-long into the horological history research behind some of these marvelous little time machines (double meaning intended) and the historical relevance of their manufacturers. I started my collection with an Oris Carl Brashear because it's a stunner for starters and as a retired Marine it fits within the subcategory (military theme) limit of watches I need to self impose so I don't go too overboard. Then I saw your video on the Marathon and of course the images of that GSAR with ETA and Marine Corps Eagle, Globe and Anchor naturally became an instant must have! Then I saw your custom Undone Watch Co. video... You see where I'm going with this. Anyway, Thanks for all the good gouge you put out and congratulations on all of your success and imminent milestone. You're a class act my man.
Nice intro👍🏽
😃love the old school Batman (moments later fill)👍🏽
Great watch and I completely agree the proportions are off - should have been based on the BB58 model
Funny but I feel that is one of the main issues with GrandSeiko - the size doesn’t lend well with the luxury category- one reason I think the Subby gets such high regard is because it’s such a refined piece, the movement, it’s proportions, which lend to its versatility.
Another great review👍🏽🍻
Gutted here in the UK we cannot enter the competition TGV. However, whilst I agree with the video on the Tudor GMT, I find it a real struggle to get a Tudor watch to fit me and feel comfortable. I’m praying the 58 BB os the answer as I would like a Tudor in my collection. Please try and review one when they are available. Also, if your interested in the latest Rolex availability saga PM me and I will give you the details. Keep up the good work. Good luck to all you guys entering the competition
Amazing video as usual ! I've been binge watching your videos everyday for 2 weeks now when prior to finding you I knew nothing about watches. Chose my 2 first automatic watches after watching some of your videos (SNK809 and SKX013) and I absolutely love them ! Thank you for getting me into this wonderful world.
Keep up the good work,
Your young fan in Montreal🇨🇦
Thank you so much Carl for sharing that.
You have no idea how much that pleases me to hear.
Congrats on your choices, outstanding choices too!
I hope you have many, many years of enjoyment.
Best regards,
TGV
I heard a lot of date wheel jump and half date issues for this Tudor GMT. I hope the next batch has resolve this problem.
Wish I could enter the watch contest but I don't have a Facebook account for a variety of personal and professional reasons. Guess I'll be passing on Timeless Luxury. Oh well, still an amazing watch although I am also confused as to the thickness. Thanks for the great video TGV and I appreciate all of your hard work! In other news, picked up an Orient Ray II Black Raven and put it on black silicon straps for my travels this summer. Love it and the value can't be beat! All the best and cheers!
Thank you so much for saying so. The fact you appreciated the time that goes into this speaks volumes about you.
Congrats on the Ray, cracking choice, they certainly got so much right on that watch. Enjoy tour adventures this summer with it, a perfect companion!
Best regards,
TGV
Again, many thanks to your hard work. I made sure to watch all the Urban Gentry videos covering the Black Raven before purchasing it. As someone who has dabbled in video production, I am constantly amazed at your hard work and dedication. Since I have started following your channel I have also picked up a Bambino and a Seiko Samurai, all thoroughly researched including watching your videos. Its why I joined the Urban Gentry Patreon account, it seemed the least I could do to say a heartfelt "thank you".
Is it not possible to just swap those links over to the other side to even out a shorter strap? good review though .. I have a larger wrist.. but when I tried a black bay with the new in house movement the height from wrist was off putting.. but I still may have to have one of these GMT’s as it’s a stunning piece and I think it’s just what your used to after a time of wearing a new watch. I dig your channel though, keep up the good work.. love the Bat man tune! 😂👍😊
Finally, I have been longing for this review. My dream watch! But alas, the giveaway is only for American citizens... 😭 But why? A lot of fans all over the world are watching and loving your videos, how come we don't get a chance?
When you read the description and terms of the giveaway and see that Canadians can't get the watch so so so sad 😂😂 still love this channel ♥️
Just getting around to this for a second time actually. Appreciate your candid review. Owning this watch for about a year now, I agree with you regarding its thickness and top heaviness. I have a 7” wrist and it’s not as much of an issue.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL & I AM A HUGE FAN! I ONLY HAVE 4 VINTAGE OMEGAS FOR NOW... BUT MY WATCH COLLECTION IS GROWING, THANKS TO YOU!! YOU DEFINITELY HELPED ME GET INTO THIS HOBBY... SO THANK YOU FOR THAT!! CHEERS FROM NORTH CAROLINA!!
I don't understand the complaints about thickness. Variety is the reason to have a well assembled watch collection. This Tudor is a beautiful piece. TGVs daydate has me envious when I see it. Thanks for the review, you always expand my knowledge.
I bought this watch in 2018 and it is my #1 worn watch since then. I love it. It is big but my wrist is 6 3/4” and I feel fine with it. It’s my go-to for travel and also just when I need a good looking robust watch. I wear on bracelet but have used thick leather as well.
Thanks for your review of this... may I ask have you had chance to get hands on with the Steinhart Homages? (Especially the 39mm). It would be interesting to see your take on the Rolex alongside the Tudor and the ETA based Steinhart too.
Anyways thanks for the fantastic video as always, you could say it’s the Kippers Knickers... 😁 Paul
TGV, I'm a young fan of yours and have recently ordered my first automatic time piece, the Seiko 5 SNK803 and cannot wait for it to be delivered. I want to say thanks for sparking a great interest in horology and I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thanks TGV, I didn't experience any of the issues as you did with the size. I wear the 41 mm Black Bay 79230N nearly every day (7" wrist) and it's very comfortable and accurate.
I just want to say that before I started watching your channel, I knew almost nothing about watches, but know I have a much better appreciation watches and how they work and am know thinking of buying my third watch will most likely be the skx009k (my first Seiko) and without your channel I probably would have never heard of it. So I just want to say thank you.
To bad I don’t partake in social media such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. I’ve been in love with divers tool watches since I was a PADI dive master in my younger days. To this day I prefer dive watches over any other style of watch. Unfortunately I won’t be able to enter even though I’d love to have a chance, congratulations to the lucky person who wins this beautiful watch. Another excellent review.
What a cracking review! It's really nice to hear you focus on the negatives of a watch a bit more and give a nicely balanced opinion. I'm still waiting for the BB58 (39mm) to arrive in London as I think the slimmer case will really work for me but you have now made me think it may be sensible to see if they produce a slimmer GMT next year!
Long time lurker and reasonably new to the channel, but after watching one video I was hooked! Have nearly finished watching them all and this one certainly didn't disappoint. The Black Bay has always been at the top of my list! - TGV, you're an inspiration and it's so refreshing to see someone with such passion. A true class act!
Long may it continue!
Well, thank you Daniel for such dedication and kind words of support. It is deeply, and I mean deeply appreciated.
Onwards and upwards my friend.
Best regards,
TGV
This is the best and most unbiased review on this watch available on the web.
Excellent watch, being similarly afflicted with the smaller wrist I will never be able to pull one off successfully, great honest review TGV. Shame the competition is only open to the US. But keep up the good work. Kindest regards B.
Quality videos is what I expect from this channel and I am not disappointed. Surprised you don’t have more subscribers
Thank you so much Jeramy,
Sadly watches is a very small genre these days. Hopefully we can correct that!
Onwards and upwards.
Best regards,
TGV
500k by the end of the year I'm calling it!
jeremy arroyo keep in mind that this channel is not a loud voice in RUclips community. It's a gentleman contribution to the watch world. These days social media love loud show off. We are here to understand, learn, and share a passion like we are around a table drinking tea at 5pm. I am glad you stopped by and had a tea with you us today. Don't be stranger.
Even with a 7.7 inch wrist I sold my 41mm BB and planning on buying the BB fifty eight 39mm. The Pepsi bezel GMT in more reasonable dimensions would be a huge success for sure.
Great review as always, lovely watch. Good to see you not afraid to point out the negatives. Shame the competition is only open to USA residents but cest la vie. Prob be too big for my wrist given your comments. Look forward to your next video (and still awaiting your travel vlogs haha 😉). Have a good week ahead and good luck to everyone in the giveaway 🍀
You do the best reviews TGV, you talk about more aspects of the watch than any other reviewer on youtube. Thank you!
Thank you for the honest and full review! Will you also review the Black Bay Fifty-Eight?? That one is such a beautiful watch. Hopefully next year they will release a snowflake dial version of the 58!
Nice review. I actually bought this watch in person at an AD this summer. I have 6.25" wrist as well and I've got to say I find the sizing perfect. I do not however wear this on the steel bracelet. I wear it on natos or leather straps. I also love the aluminum bezel and its coloring. Gorgeous watch and great for my first luxury piece!
Your the reason I bought my Seiko 5. Next week I’m going to get a ColaReb in Venezia grey cause I saw that combo done on a previous post. It looks balanced and magnificent. This channel has pretty much gotten me into watches. If I won this I would be beside myself!
Thank you for reviewing the Tudor GMT, I’ve been waiting to see your review, very helpful. Quick question, you mentioned the gmt is too thick, it seems to be the same size as the pelagos 14.3mm. So do you think the pelagos is also too thick? I want to get one, but always worried about versatility of it.
I have been watching your channel for about a year now and you have turned me on to a lot of great watches (I’m not really a collector I started with a Tissot Seastar 1000 then an SAS Stealth Tiger and recently on a trip to Germany I got a Stowa Flieger GMT), which I really thank you for. I would love to win that Tudor for my father.
A good & candid, honest review. The fit of the original ETA-movement Black Bay was better because the case back was dead flat; the in-house models including this GMT all bulge between the case sides & the wrist. Looking forward to the the Fifty-Eight, i think it will look fantastic on sub-7" wrists like yours & mine. Best always my friend.
bang on! A beauty but sadly way too big for many of us. (holding out for black bay 58!)
TGV....you seemed to give the Pelagos a glowing review. What are your thoughts of comparing the GMT to the Pelagos. I believe the GMT is thinner by a touch since the Pelagos is 15mm thick. Thoughts on why the different feeling?
Thank you very much for the chance to win. What a great opportunity. I fly heavy cargo for the AF and would love to give this a global tour. 🤞
I wonder why they made this so big?
I agree with you about the expanding bracelet.
How does it compare in size with the black bay chronograph?
One thing I like about all the black bays, like this gmt and the chrono is that they have that 200m water resistance.
I think the Rolex equivalent tend to be less resistant to water.
The watch is not big, the problem is your wrist is small.
Great review, loving your work. Just become the proud owner, which is a miracle because these are also becoming incredibly difficult to buy unless you are a regular customer etc. I gave up some time ago with trying for a "pepsi" but in the UK at least this Tudor GMT is almost impossible to obtain unless going through the used market and then you are already talking about at least £500-£1000 mark up. Got mine for list, worn 5 times, so chuffed is an understatement. Along with David Barclay, I have also purchased a Timex Marlin and have to say love it (or will do once it has a decent strap) Many thanks. These videos are sooooo interesting and informative, love them!
Thank you so much Barry for taking the time to share that.
And enjoy your outstanding choices, what a duo!!! Pure class my friend.
Best regards,
TGV
Thanks for this video, very informative!
I've got a 170mm wrist and looking to buying my first watch. I like the look of the GMT although my heart tells me to buy the bb58 for the smaller size. Will one have a better resale value over the other? I can't decide!!
I suspect that my 8 plus wrist would wear it better. I do love your recommendation of the Timex Marlin though. They are so classic and beater basic in design, it’s a wonder they run so well. A marvel. I actually also attained a German made 1960 Timex Viscount Self Wind, the Ebayer didn’t know what it was. Great find because of you. Thanks TGV.
Competition is only open to US residents though?
I just love my Tudor GMT . I have a small wrist 6 3/4’’ , I find it wears perfectly , comfortable and don’t know it’s there .
Accuracy, just spot on . - + 0 . That’s letting it rest overnight. If left on overnight it runs at - 1 sec per day .
Better than my Omega 300 M .
Just love it .

Excellent video TGV. I have a Tudor black bay red ETA and I absolutely love it. Wish the GMT was out when I bought mine and I probably would’ve gone with the GMT.
Excellent video! Not the first review of this beauty but surely one of the best. I much prefer the colors on the Tudor to those on the modern Rolex. I own a Black Bay ref. 79230n and I can confirm two shortcomings: the watch is top heavy and I have hard time finding the perfect fit with that clasp. The Pelagos clasp is way better.
Thank you sir, great to hear from you again.
Ahhh yes that Pelagos clasp, great idea! I guess that is were I was going with the spring loaded strechty bracelet.
Best regards,
TGV
Is there any bad videos on the urban gentry channel, I dont think so. Thats why I love to watch this!
Jarl Bergström there could only be videos that one might not like it, but not bad :)
One question TGV. Its this only for US participants? Thank you.
TGV, my man! What professional intro - loved it! Beside being a crazy watch guy I also do love aviation so thank you for the great intro and as always a well done episode! And... I'm nearly about to buy the 114270 full set thanks to your awesome reveiws 😊 Greetings from Sweden!
Good day, thank you so much for the detailed review.
I am looking to get one myself. However, does this GMT have a date quick set function?
What brand of NATO strap is that on the Tudor GMT? looked really high quality
Such a nice Sunday evening surprise!
Hi TGV!
Great stylish intro.
You became a professional reviewer.
Love how fluent, spontaneous,
yet pure class your style is.
Loved Bach piano from the background too. :)
Greetings, and kind wishes:
Robert ;)
Some people buy cooking books even though they don't cook. I watch your channel even though I rarely buy watches. Very relaxing and addicting channel. You should go on a live tour. Imagine that.
TGV,
Your videos have truly got me into this passion. Picked up my first watch, an Orient Bambino, last month and haven’t looked back. Thanks for all you do!
Best,
James
I think the Steinhart Ocean One Pepsi GMT is a great alternative for people who cant get their hands on a Rolex Pepsi or who dont want to spend thousands on a Tudor GMT as an interim GMT watch. Swiss Made with a decent ETA movement. Also available in a 39mm and isn't as bulky as the Tudor GMT. Sure its probably not the same ultra high standards as the Tudor or Rolex but from what reviewers have said, its pretty damn good and for only $550, ten times less than the Tudor, its a more attainable piece for collectors on a budget. Bad news is that they're all sold out at the moment (their value has held pretty well too) and you will need to go on a waitlist (ha, the irony).
Getting the Tudor for a birthday present. I have always loved the Rolex GMT but when they started going upwards of 10K for a stainless dive watch they lost me. The Tudor looks better to my eyes. I like the "classic" look without the crown guards, the coin edge is a must and the colors on the bezel looks dressier. Tudor hit it out of the park.
TGV I'm dissapointed mate. Love the video as always but when you gonna do a giveaway that us fellow Brits can enter !?!
You have the Royal family and don't need a giveaway.
Ewwww fuck the royal family. Ship them back to Germany 🤣🤣
Unbelievably beautiful piece. Can't get enough of it.
Please state that the competition is open to U.S residents only! I am in the UK and entered then read the small print, please have a competition so your subscribers from everywhere else can win also, thanks.
The thing that draws me to Tudor over Rolex is the aluminium bezel and my dislike for ceramics.
Got to agree about the bracelet just wish they had made half links as a minimum!
Great review 👍
Don’t let a half link stop you from getting the excellent bracelet. Uncle seiko sells a half link for reasonable money
How does the movemet compare to the Rolex counterpart besides the fact that there is little difference regarding the tolerance limits (Cosc vs. -2/+2) ?
Can't believe you are actually giving out one of these bauties out to some lucky member! Great stuff TGV, would love to know how is your ORIS doing on a different video. I've been looking to buy one, very conflicted if to get an Aquis or the 65 diver with a bronze bezel. Good luck to all
I got myself an Aquis slightly more than a week ago and it’s absolutely amazing, the quality of the watch is outstanding and the rubber strap is superior to anything I wore before, it’s super comfortable to wear.
Call it lucky member if it's me who wins the watch. Otherwise, call it lucky bastard
They look good on the rubber, probably in almost every occasion?
The giveaway is only for US residents?
Excellent review as usual, many thanks. Have you ever heard about a date change issue in this watch? If you have, what do you think in this regard?
I own this watch and it wears pretty much like the regular Black Bay. Maybe a little better because of the bevel running along the bottom of the case. Faux rivets are pretty much a none issue as once it's on your wrist it's hard to notice them. I'm still on the wall about the GMT (small snowflake) hand, believe it or not. Sometimes I have a hard time finding it along the outer track of the dial especially when it's right over the indices. But all in all a great watch if your wrist is 7" or so.
Fantastic review. Was going to get one but will get a GMT master 2 instead. The size is just too big for my wrist. You save me 4K...cheers!
How much good is the in house movement in comparision with ETA?
Good point about the bezel and the height of the watch TGV. It does look a bit tall in profile and it would have looked stunning with a sapphire bezel. I have a seven inch wrist, so, maybe it’d look a little less bulky for me. Not sure though. Enjoyed the review once again👍🏻
I have a 1926 and the steel bracelet is excellent quality and accurate watch. It looks brand new although I wore it regularly for 6 months.
After 3 weeks of waiting, I secured my preferred Black Bay for the extra power reserve.
The AD says the Black Bay models are closer to Rolex quality.
What happened to the Timeless Luxury Tudor Giveaway? You had said a winner would be announced two weeks from the the date of the video. Now i cant find anything. Its as if they took all of our info for marketing and cancelled the giveaway.
Wondering the same thing
When will you get your hands on a Black Bay 58?
Try stopping me.
Sadly I am rather behind in my reviews, I have months of videos yet to make, but I might just have to bloody buy one!!!
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry I'm lucky enough to own a BB58 & have the same wrist size as yourself & it fits perfectly. If you review it, I can see the Govnor's buying another watch :)
Tudor hit it out of the park with this watch. Its a stunning time piece and sits well on the wrist. It must have a few things to give it a Tudor look and not so much a Rolex GMT look,. If Tudor comes out with a 38 mm version it will be spectacular but would lean more to a ladies version unless you are a very petite guy.
Is this only for US CITIZENS
Beautiful watch! I think Tudor has been doing amazing things in the past few years with their watches!!
I’ve got my Tudor GMT on a rubber strap and it sits closer to my wrist than when it was on its leather strap. So it doesn’t seem as tall as it did when I first got it.
Thanks for the giveaway TGV!
Since joining the Facebook group & website, feels like I’m part of the family!
Awesome work brother 👊🏻👍🏻
I own this watch (7-27-18) and from day one of ownership I tested it for almost a week of constant wearing. First day, ~+1.2 s/day, second day +1s/day separate and discrete from the first day, diminishing through the week without resetting to less than half a second a day fast then settling into +0.346 s/day AVERAGE on the 5th day after 4 consecutive days without resetting. Any rumors saying they are set to lesser standards than Rolex cannot be proven by me. Judy (Bachendorf's Dallas) indicated she thought the standards were the same for the new Tudor MT56xx movements as the Rolex.
Two days before I purchased the watch, I held it in my hand and wound it. I had to check TWICE to be sure the crown position was correct as it felt as if no winding was taking place. The movement of the previously dead second hand proved I was doing SOMETHING like winding, but you REALLY have to trust that the watch is being wound. Previously, only my Ball (2893-2) (purchased at Timeless Luxury, Frisco) felt anywhere close to this smooth. This watch sets a benchmark that cannot be surpassed as you cannot surpass the feel of NOTHING.
Bicycle chain link ends on the steel is a bit silly. So since everyone is waiting for steel, Judy guided me gently to the leather. The BB GMT is perfect size for my 7 inch wrist. I'm playing with leather straps...1 Shinola, 1 Filson, 2 Hirsch, 1 Strapcode. Great fun as the 2 Hirsch bands were discontinued curved end stock. All are comfortable, but $65 for each of these handsome Hirsches is inexpensive! I'm saving the original leather red dirt brown deployant...I'm hard on bands. By the way, many Tudor GMT sellers are tacking on $500-1500 premium depending in leather or bracelet.
No glued on wart of a lens. Understated colors, layout, fonts, etc. All these qualities make the new Rolex GMT look garish and flashy to me. The Rolex GMT price is ridiculous. Wilsdorf will sell many times more Tudors. I can forgive the 14.5mm height as it has GMT "excuse". The Black Bay ETA is 12.6mm (YOUR red one) The Black Bay 5602s (red, black, blue) are now 14.8mm...(I want the ETA back...in RED) I went to Bachendorf's and measured them all. (Ask them! It was an adventure in itself!)
The watch you want is already out...you don't have to wait another year. The BB 58 (39 and thin) is the one which will fit you PERFECTLY. Waiting to see it in the metal. I've got my notice in with Judy.
Ciao TGV! Come stai?
Since watching your videos I have taken this passion much more seriously and now find myself resarching a brands history and achievements just for fun haha (nerdy maybe?)
Watches are something that many people don't appreciate unfortunately but your vids can definitely spark that interest.
Well done!
2 questions:
Is Boccia a decent brand? And is the quartz miyota 1s13 a decent movement?
I've fallen in love with one of their watches, and the specs seem good and the design is beautiful.
That bezel is simply breathtaking. Not only the colors but also the coin edge is worth a million words.
TGV, is there any chance of a seiko srpb051 review?
Hopefully soon Bruno.
Sorry for the delay, it was borrowed and it took months to get it back.
Stay tuned.
Best regards,
TGV
Delighted to hear of the negatives, as you say few publications really tell it as it is. Not sure I agree that there will be a smaller one next year, I think they are more likely to just offer the 58 in other colours.
Very nice video as always mister TGV. I'm still a little disappointed that only US residents can participate at the giveaway. Take care!
Thank you Benoit,
Best regards,
TGV
That is very generous of Timeless to do that. I'll definitely enter and hope to win this beautiful watch. Happen to be wearing my Black Bay Red as I watched this. Mine's the earlier ETA version - definitely thinner than this GMT (and the regular inhouse version) by a good mill or 2. I wish Tudor had stuck with the Rose on the dial. Totally understand your comments about Tudor being more "toolish" and affordable than Rolex. Rather like what Rolex used to be. Ciao, John
In numismatics the “coin’s edge” with that feature is called a “reeded edge” and I don’t know why that term couldn’t apply to the bezel of a watch.
Tudor said that the best watches coming next year,and i think the GMT in 39mm,the black bay fifty eight date,and the black bay chrono in 39mm
Normally I'm very aware of sponsorships because it tends to ruin contents in gaming videos. TGV just made it so smooth when promoting your sponsors, loved it.
Haha, you flatter me but sadly this is in no way a sponsored video.
If it were to be I would not be able to say anything negative about Tudor.
Thank you Christian.
Best regards,
TGV
TGV is this giveaway only open to US residents ?
Got mine today and on my 7 1/2 inch wrist I think the width and lug to lug perfect. Height, a millimetre less would have been even better.
Only eligible for USA-residents?
Great show TGV! Great to see these warches, almost like seeing them in the flesh! I do not get to see Rolex/Tudor in our local shop windows where I live, so it's nice to watch the reviews. Gives me a true feeling of what they are 'Really' like.
Thanks again
Stu, the Brit in Kentucky
Really would like to pick one of these up in the near future. I personally think it looks far more sophisticated than the new ceramic Pepsi gmt.
Too bad it’s US only, still love that you give your followers the opportunity to win an expensive quality watch. I always watch your video’s and you are one of the people that got me hooked on watches. Last year i bought my first swiss automatic watch, a certina ds action diver (the blue one). Since i’m only 18 years old this was the most i could afford, but as soon as i’m making “real” money i’m going to go crazy on buying watches so thanks for that 😂
The trick with the BB 41 case, is putting it on a canvas or sailcloth strap. Makes it ride way lower.
A beautiful watch with Rolex quality without the pretentious undertones that some people associate with Rolex. Excellent video!
Well said David, I could not agree more, thank you.
Best regards,
TGV
