- Is the Tudor GMT S&G worthy of the Root Beer name. After a week on the wrist I'm ready to share my thoughts.
Let me know in the comments what you think of the Tudor Root Beer, Love it, hate it or just indifferent?
#Tudor #RootBeer #NewWatch
I was so lucky to walk into the local dealer today and pick it up - I appreciate how (unlike Rolex) they seem to afford the opportunity for anyone to buy a piece if they are persistent. This was my first new watch purchase, I have only bought vintage until now, but this one is a perfect do anything, go anywhere balance.
Congratulations on the purchase 🍾and great choice! I must admit that the service in Tudor has been a large part in my draw towards the brand. Hands down easily the best service and experience I’ve ever had from any AD
I bought my BB GMT more than one year ago and still love it so much. I'm really happy with it. The new S&G is really nice but the only thing to me is that I prefer silver than gold however, in this case the final result is great. Congratulations and enjoy your BB GMT S&G.
Thanks for a great video.
Thank you, very kind of you. Great to hear you still love your GMT, it’s such a great base for Tudor to play with. Hopefully they might do some more iterations of it in the future!
I just bought mine on the 5th August 23, it immediately went “out of stock” so guess i got lucky there!
What can i say, what a beautifully made watch, the detail is everywhere! Im glad it’s a 41, i don’t think it would look as good in 39, i opted for the metal strap version, as that made the best economical sense, if i want the leather strap, which i also really liked it on, i can always get that later, although i can’t help thinking it would look amazing on a James Bond nato too
Really Glad i purchased it, it’s so completely different to anything i have seen recently, and way different to my Seamaster 300, as special as that is to me, this just has a unique feel to it, it’s certainly heavy, but not that you notice it on, it’s a very tactile thing, superbly made and finished, love it from every angle, the colour way will surely make this a classic for the future too
Seen have some negative comments about the bezel being slack? Mine moves and sounds like an expensive safe lock!
I only have a modest collection of just 5 watches, but this Is my first ever Tudor, there may well be others to come 😂 the Harrods has caught may attention
All the time Rolex virtually block you from obtaining one of their models, other manufacturers will benefit, especially when they are made like this BB GMT s&g is
Hi there, may i ask if the full S&G barcelet, how many the weight gram? its really 200grams?
Nov 23 - they're in stock everywhere now.
I got hands on on this watch watch and I can assure that the colors really work well together , it’s awesome
I got the call to get one of these last week too! My favorite in my collection. Great review.
Congratulations! 🍾 it’s a stunning watch, absolutely love it. I feel like renders/images don’t do it justice. You’ve got to get hands on to really appreciate it.
I just picked one up today .. astonishingly beautiful. Never getting rid of it.
Though I am VERY happy this watch is 41mm and 14.6mm thick .. perfect size on my wrist. I have no use for a 39mm watch .. looks like a toy when I wear those kinds of watches.

I bought one and it's all what they say it is. Beautiful looks and fits like a glove.
Just bought one of these...but this vid just reminded me, I must watch 'Something About Mary' again sometime!
Fantastic review - you hit the nail on the head in all aspects. Nice Micky Flanagan reference btw...😁
Nice the Root Beer 😊
Wow! I was dead set on the BB Pepsi! Not sure now! This is a beauty! 🤩
Gotta respect the S&G!!! Congratulations on the new watch.
Thanks so much! I feel like the S&G didn’t get much love at launch. It’s such a stunning watch in the metal!
I love this watch and it looks much better in person .
I think the size is perfect and gives it character , think its going to be a hot watch for Tudor . I love it and I wont be selling it any time soon .
100% agree Steven! Feels like people are finally starting to notice the S&G. Glad you’re loving yours, enjoy it!
@@NiceKettle Yes i agree , Im loving the retro look with the brushed Gold .
Amazing look when the Sun hits it .
Cool vid. How do you find the thickness of it? Also, what size is your wrist? I have a girl’s wrist so wondering if I could pull it off.
I think the size is perfect, I have a 7" wrist and it the size I would have begged for.
Called my AD here states side the day the new releases were announced and registered my interest for the "Root Beer". Week later when the AD received their shipment of new Tudors I got the call. Love the availability, quality, style and price point of Tudor.
Great review, excellent
Awesome watch .. I have one .. and it is my BEST watch. Not my most expensive .. but it’s my best
Good looking watch
Thanks so much, two tone is controversial, but I’m loving it!
Is the lug width 20 or 22mm? I always thought it was 22mm.
Great review .. my next piece for sure .. few questions. You said the crown in full gold .. is this actually the case ? I read it was capped ..also on the indices ..are they gold ? Hands gold ? Either way ..she's going to b in my stable by the summer ! Lol
Thanks George! Very kind of you. The bezel, crown and first centre link are gold, the rest of the centre links are capped gold. The indices and hands are guilted. Hope you love it when you get it! It’s a great piece and always fires up debate when people see it
Walked in to AD after calling a few hours earlier to verify they had this piece. Arrived 4 hours later, on a Tuesday and they said it had sold 45 minutes before I got there. So, I plopped down the full retail to get the next one to arrive at store in 6-8 weeks.
Great review, but a little romance novel thick on some of the descriptions, but entertaining. I was convinced this cat worked for Tudor by the end of the review. I'm hoping he doesn't, but Tudor better be compensating him somehow, just by the glowing review itself.
Sorry to hear about Mac Daddy's experience. This will be my 5th Tudor in 25 years and I've never had a problem. Best value for the money in my opinion.
That must have been pretty frustrating finding it sold. Great that you’re guaranteed the next one in though. My local AD wouldn’t do that.
Thanks so much for the feedback, I wish I did work for Tudor 😉 I wouldn’t be quite as financially destitute that way 😂 For me it’s a brand I’ve probably under appreciated while waiting on Rolex. The service, designs and sheer value the brand offers makes it hard to look beyond for me at the moment. Especially on this piece as it feels like it’s overlooked due to the Pro.
Love the romantic novel description 😂 very fair! I’m trying different styles at the moment to see what resonates with viewer so all feedback very gratefully received! 👍🏻
Hope the 6-8 weeks go quick and thanks so much for taking the time to share! Look forwards to hearing what you make of if once you’ve got it 😁
Got it!!! Love it. Proportions are beautiful. I’m gonna commit a cardinal sin and add a cyclops to date as with all my Tudors.
Are you guys in UK or something? I realized that just now. In United States you can pick these up off of any grey dealer or AD immediately
Great content!
I own gmt master 2 s&g from 2001 reff 16713. This tudor gmt s&g just look a like. Nice watch but i prefer Tudor give rose gold to match the rootbeer style
loving your work. Good video. I tried this on a couple weeks ago but unfortunately the watch was already sold. I have the Tudor gmt pepsi, but I think I would swap for this. Also tried on the GMT pro. Nice watch. Had it been on the bracelet, I may have been tempted, any thoughts? Waiting for the FXD, but if this comes in first, I could well be struggling to wait!
Much prefer the 41mm to a 39mm.
I think it’s 22m lug width
I noticed a layer or clear protector on the watch, just wear it as it is!!
Likely going to get this, but on the leather strap.
£4420 now... personally 41mm suits me perfectly, its just the price I'm struggling with affordability...
Lug width is 22mm
Yes it is! My bad, too much buying straps for the 58!
@@NiceKettle cheers buddy. Enjoy your new time piece. Great pick up!
What is your wrist size, sir?
Correction : 22mm lug width not 20mm as with the bb58. I now own 3 x bb58 and 2 gmts (this SG and the Pepsi) I'm not gonna lie though I'm feeling a touch BR with this new sg, it was an impulsive purchase, I need to settle down with it
Why the remorse? Is it because you already own the pepsi and it is not too different? Im interested because i too have the pepsi and am considering swapping for the s&g.Ive always loved the Rolex root beer so am drawn to this
@@barrycolmer324 yes I think you are kind of on the right line to my BR I do think that the Pepsi should already be enough and I rushed into it, I have so many nice watches I'm not sure if I actually loved this one enough before pulling the trigger.
Also there are a few differences that I've not seen get noticed yet!
The winding is super smooth on the Pepsi almost buttery smooth some people even may prefer to feel more gears turning or more feeling, on the SG it's totally different they seem to have added a clicking to the wind, I really don't like it.
The bezel click is not as smooth as the Pepsi it's a bit jingly jangly,has noticeably more play. If I'd tested this in the shop I would not have brought it but they had a plastic covering on it that covered the case so I couldn't wind it or try the bezel until I'd purchased it and removed this. My advice to you is don't rush like I did.
Are you willing to part with it ? Trade ,?
No, we want to 41 or 42 mm
41mm is perfect, too bad the new models are still extremely thick. why on earth they did not include the T-fit bracelet on this one !?
Thr bracelet is just gold covered just being clear.
@mema4922 you werent happy with gold covered, kind of like chocolate covered.
The bigger the watch the better..
S&G black bay root beer isn’t for me. Just doesn’t look right, well in pictures anyway. I much prefer the standard S&G which I will not be trading in for the GMT, just hate the pointed clasp as it scratches the centre link. Tudor put the new T clasp on all watches please.
Tudors are great value for money and so well made however if you want a rootbeer save harder and buy the Rolex GMT CHNR.
should be 22mm lug width
Personally I think Rolex did it better with the rose gold. obviously there price is astronomical but the yellow gold isn't doing it for me. But it's what the wearer thinks not me. just enjoy it.
I’m not going to lie Kevin, I’d have loved the rose gold over the yellow! I still love the GMT Master II it just feels like a long long wait to get one at retail 😢 Both are great watches, I feel like this is a great look back on the Rolex catalogue, it’s just new and shiny with all the modern elements. Thanks for such a fair view 👍🏻
I thought the same thing but when I got it in person the muted look of the brushed gold actually gives it a look of between yellow and rose gold. It kinda embodies both. It really works well!
Wow this guy chats some marketing waffle 😆
Beetroot
why do men prefer 39mm to 41mm?
You know 40mm and 13mm thick would be just the ticket, however, its never gonna happen, well not at least for a good few years. Why would they do that to their older brother??
I want to fall asleep watching this video
Another Tudor GMT with a broken date wheel that will never get fixed. Sorry, but I already fell for that once. Never again.
I feel like Batman would wear a Tudor and Bruce Wayne would wear a Rolex ….
😂 you might just be right Brandon. Can’t imagine Bruce Wayne would have to worry about wait lists!
Thickness is insane unfortunately.😩definitely a dealbreaker for me.😡
sorry to sat it watch feels cheap
Ugly, homage to the real Rolex GMT 2 Rootbeer!
Yawn another Tudor Rolex homage.
