Having researched the GMT to death as a replacement for my blue Pelagos I picked one up today. The decision was made all the more easier having tried it on. The chamfer on the bottom of the case really reduces the slab sided impact of the side of the case. Also, with the crystal being 1.5mm tall ish it wears a lot like my omega AT 41.5mm 8500. The chief difference is the width of the bracelet which makes it look substantial on the wrist. The crispness of this in contrast to the rest of the range is what I really like. I am not a fan of the faux coloured minute track on the other BB41 watches. Also, owning a 58 it’s nice to have a more modern look to vary the collection. The white lume and silver marker surrounds is bloody lovely. The bezel looks superb and the red GMT hand is a great splash of colour. Early days yet but it’s beaut.

It’s my most worn watch at the moment and excellent value for money.
Enjoy. It looks good on the bracelet.

Never really noticed the chamfer before. Interesting observation of yours that it affects the slab-side perception, which is one thing that puts me off the BB family.
The GMT wears a lot better than its dimensions might suggest. Even I get away with it with my sub 7 inch wrists.
Also, the smaller applied markers give it more of a dressy and sophisticated look in contrast to the maxi style markers on the rest of the Black Bay range.
All in all it’s a very good looking watch.

I'm wearing one a lot at the moment. Tudor is currently my most worn brand, with a GMT, Harrods, and Bucherer within the current rotation.
I tried on BB58, but much prefer the 14060 Sub.
It's just a matter of time...
Congrats, it really is a great watch and good value. I got another one a few weeks back having sold my first one last year.

Absolutely, the thickness stat puts of a lot of folk including me initially. Recognising the case is 13mm thick (crystal adding 1.5mm) and the implementation of the chamfer on the bottom of the case to reduce visual thickness it wears really well imo and smaller than the dimensions suggest.
Congrats on the new purchase, I’m on my second GMT after selling the first one foolishly. I absolutely love it the only thing to make it perfect is if the bracelet wasn’t faux-riveted IMO!

Why did you sell the fist one? I think flat crystal like the Pelagos and either half links or glide lock and it would be perfect. I dont notice the fake rivets that much but like you would prefer them not to be there. Also a 20mm lug width would have been better in reducing the heft.
All that said I bloody love it and it’s a keeper.
The reason I sold the first one was because I only ended up buying it because it was simply in the AD’s window! Sold it to a friend but after a few weeks regretted it and went on the hunt for another. By luck another one was again in the window so snapped it up. This time my then fiancé now wife bought it for me as a wedding gift... so now it’s definitely a keeper...
Currently wearing it on the NATO, perfect for summer. Will be back on bracelet in the next couple of weeks

Great watches. I have no regrets getting mine. It is worn every other day(alternating with another) and when traveling- so has been across the deserts of Sudan, depths of the Red Sea, and the flats of Cuba.
Congratulations! Wear it in good health!
I'm exactly the opposite to yourself, never really considered one, I've always had dive watches more often than not either black or blue colour schemes
the GMT bezel and red/blue combination were never something I'd consider
My old man bought one and then within 2 weeks got a Rolex Pepsi, so I agreed to buy the BB from him, it was on the leather & deployent which I soon changed to an Erikas original,
It's getting worn way more than I anticipated, it's a cracking watch for not that many £££'s possibly a keeper!
Great watch OP, best release for the price in 2018.
Size perfect, as pricing goes now a bit of a bargain.
I am loving it and 3 days in its running 0.2 SPD slow using watch tracker 👍
Since buying my Tudor GMT I’ve worn it so often that,instead of selling it for a profit (my original plan) I’m now gonna sell my BLNR instead :-)
I love mine, a fantastic wearing, very smart looking watch.
I feel they are a fantastic price too, such good value and can only see them increasing. Makes getting 10% discount even sweeter!
Great watch congrats
Congratulations! I was initially after a 58, but saw one in the flesh and tried it on for the first time yesterday and was absoloutely blown away.
I was (am) surprised how well it wears. I tried on a 41mm Black Bay alongside the 58 much earlier this year and I thought the 58 was much nicer to wear, and based the descision against the GMT from that.
Called in yesterday to discover I'd never actually been added to the 58 list (slightly frustrating to say the least!) and would need to be added to the bottom. Given we are now quite close to Baselworld again, as much as I love the 58 I'd be keen to see a red or blue coulorway before comitting. Rather conviniently, they had 2 GMT's in... and well, the Pepsi colouring is the one to have on a GMT in my opinion, so I'm quite pleased with the choice.
I do think the clean crisp colour scheme of the GMT works well with the guilt colouring of the 58. It gives me more choice. Completely understand wanting to wait for Basel.
I don’t think the GMT wears as big as the dimensions suggest. The chamfered bottom edge really reduces the slab sided look compared to the BB41. The crystal makes up 1.5mm if the 14.5mm thickness. Also making the hour plots smaller than be BB41 and hand set smaller it gives the watch a less sporty diver look.

It’s my favourite looking Tudor by far, and every time I bang my 16710 on something a think I should get a cheaper daily - but I can’t really justify it to myself, and in many ways they’re so similar. Happy to hear some excuses!
