Must be coming through a bit faster.
Only two weeks ago I was told 4th on the list.
Got the call today and collect tomorrow

GMT, bit too deep and chunky. Quality felt sold though.
Is the hype being fuelled by lack of availability?
A few months in - and it remains one of my favourite watches.
Me too. Regardless of price.
Another happy owner here too. I feel the look and the value for money these watches offer is spot on. Ok I know it is relative and maybe Rolex have pulled off an amazing marketing trick, but I have fallen for it!

Me too . Bought to wear and love mine
Visited Goldsmiths Birmingham today, still no improvement in the GMT situation.
3 in Ace jewellers in Amsterdam apparently. Easyjet flight home by teatime Saturday
I put my name down 31st October and got the call on Tuesday this week. So, less than 3 months to wait. In the flesh that bezel is a thing of complete wonder - it's the blue which just seems to constantly change, I love it.
It's a great watch and I'm going to get a lot of enjoyment from it.

Nice people to do business with too.3 in Ace jewellers in Amsterdam apparently. Easyjet flight home by teatime Saturday
Went to my local beaverbrooks recently they had it on fabric strap to buy now with a bracelet as an extra
Lady told me the reason for the short supply was that there had been quality issues but that has now been fixed
Poor flippers prices will return to normsl

Indeed, the bezel can go from a Pepsi to a Coke depending on the light. Since mine has been back from repair I haven't worn anything else!
One of the worst retailers I've ever visited.
The GMT is one of my Fav tudors and miss the one I moved on last year. My only tiny criticism is that I wish the blue on the bezel actually looked more blue than black. Oh, and the “rivets” on the bracelet. Apart from that love it. Will see what Tudor do at Basel and if nothing jumps out at me will get the GMT again, hopefully at a fair chunk below retail too once supply/demand balance moves in my favour.
This thread has been starved of photo's lately... hope anybody waiting gets the call soon...
^Agreed!^
I got the call on Tuesday and picked mine up on Sat, wow!
All good things come to those that wait. Still really enjoying mine.^Agreed!^

Looks great-I'm not sure about the rivets though... maybe they are a unique feature that makes it stand out?
Absolutely! I love the rivets, more subtle in 'the flesh', it's a nice feature that helps Tudor stand out from the crowd, refreshing and different.
The blue on the bezel is very strange (in a nice way) I'd describe it as a bluey graphite, no where near the vibrant blue of a Rolex GMT.
I've put mine on a Steveostraps leather strap. Very comfortable. It's unlikely I would use it in the water anyway.
Not that the rivets bothered me.

Loving the BB GMT, been worth the wait.
Don't know if the Pelagos will get any wrist time for a while.

They are, imho, bloody awful. It's the single worst thing on my bb58, up close they look cheap and nasty. From a distance and in pictures they look good. But side by side with an Oris 65 bracelet, it's a really, really poor effort.
If not doing it properly, I don't know why they bothered.
With coffee and cake - just as it should be
Lovely, I'd really like a blue Pelagos as well!Loving the BB GMT, been worth the wait.

Oooft nice, those Nutella muffins are a particular weakness of mine. Just as well they are not that common! Nice strap option there too. I'm cooking up a new strap for mine, will reveal next week...With coffee and cake - just as it should be

I went to look at one today in store and have to say I was underwhelmed. Looks great in photos but on my wrist and in person it just appeared a bit washed out and dull. In the end ended up ordering a BB58. I may change my mind and come back to revisit it later as happens in this watch collecting habit.
Anyone tried it on a rubber strap yet?
The colours really change with light. Office lighting can make mine appear a bit washed out at times, but in other settings I feel the colours are phenomenal.
JumpingJalapeno has it on a navy Rubber B for a while. Think there’s pictures of it earlier in thread somewhere
Finally the AD got in my leather strap and clasp for it from Tudor. Loving it but also keen to try it on a rubber

Haven't seen it in person but I still am underwhelmed from the pics. I feel the bezel to dial ratio is a little off
but still a quite popular model. So I guess I am in a minority.
I was exactly the same, no picture is saw made it look massively appealing, but, when I saw it 'in the flesh' I was smitten.
The silver hands and hour markers against the matte dial really work well. The bezel is strange, not the depth or intense colour of a Rolex GMT, but that's good, Tudor have their own colour palate.
I feels just right on the wrist, and not so block sided as other BBs because of the slight scalloping under the case.
Do it! you won't regret it.
Just got the call from an AD that mine is ready for collection!
Total time from putting my name on waiting list to gettting the call...three and a half weeks. I think I got a bit lucky because others above me pulled out, but it goes to show that if you put your name on a few lists, it doesn’t take long to get one. Glad I paid no attention to the chancers trying to flog them above RRP.
WOS Glasgow had one in stock on Saturday if anyone is still in the market for one of these. The guy who ordered it had a change of heart after seeing it in the flesh apparently.
I had my name down at Goldsmiths Braehead and got a call within a month. At that point I'd already put a deposit down elsewhere because of an excellent finance arrangement so had to let it pass, but total wait was 3 months so really not bad. Congrats on getting yours so quickly - enjoy it in good health!
Turns out Flybe lighting isn't too bad...

It's a great look with the crafter blue, I just found it didn't sit snug. Also id say it offered great protection for the lugs.Picked mine up last Friday
