the fact that its in grimsby is probably the reason its still available to be fair though.....
Grimsby?
I spent a month there one night.
No worries, even if you had meant it in a rude way that would have been fine
Having read some previous posts regarding availability of the GMT from other AD's I was a little surprised
Within the last 2 Months Hewitts have had at least 2 available on bracelet, 1 on the Leather (didn't stay there long ) and possibly 2 on the nylon. Which shows they are out there and available for walk in customers (one just may have to grin and bear it and venture to a more undesirable part of our country...)
cheers
There is a GMT available at Ernst Jones Peterborough. Just had the call but I’m no longer looking for one.
probably gone to the next person on the "list"....
Aye that's only fair

Got a call from Goldsmiths Meadowhall today, one had come in, did I want it as a few called could not progress. Luckily I was only 10 mins away
Nipped in 30 mins later and now have one! Very impressed
They mentioned the list was fairly long before it got to me but everyone turned it down. Not sure if they remove the people from the list based on that. Saying that, it's only 6 weeks or so max since I said I was after one to them (no deposit needed). Only issue is that if they get one in you have to collect within 24hrs or they won't sell to you. Thankfully I was nearby.
Great pick up experience too, Laura was a pleasure to deal with
Goldsmiths in Leeds had one in the window on leather strap yesterday. I was comparing it to mine on bracelet. Might be worth a call if anyone is still looking

Michael spiers Plymouth had one yesterday as they phoned me for it... I took a pass but it might still be available?

There was a bracelet version in the window of Fraser Hart in Bristol yesterday afternoon.
In Hugh Rice, St Stephens Centre, Hull - 2 x GMT - one on leather and the other on nato strap, also 2 x BB58 -one on leather and the other on nato strap. Get'em whilst they are hot.
I don't think they are "hot" anymore, that's why they're turning up left, right and centre.
any on the bracelet knocking about in the south east for retail?
Having just switched mine from bracelet to strap after picking up a pristine Tudor deployant and leather on SC (thanks Ian), I can say both work very well indeed!
Just been past Lunn's in Victoria sq Belfast and they have a GMT on leather in the window. If anyone is after one here.
Rejoined the club after selling my first one last year.
Tried one on today. Very impressed. Was put off as sold my Pelagos due to its size. The GMT wears a lot better than the Pelagos. Being 1mm smaller in diameter it clearly helps. Chiefly, it actually wears like a 13mm thick watch (the crystal making up the other 1.5 ish mm of the stated thickness) which surprised me. The top of the bezel on the GMT actually ends where the bottom of the Pelagos bezel starts.
I was surprised how well it wore on the wrist. A lot like my 41.5 mm omega AT 8500.
Mine has went back today, date jumping 2 days at a time
Had it since January, but had hardly worn it, but had it on for a constant 3 weeks when the problem arose
Being told won't be back until December
Surprised as I thought the date wheel issue was sorted by the end of last year
Cheers

I was planning on picking up one in Oct but might hold off if they still haven't fixed the date wheel issue.
Can I ask when you guys bought yours?
If bought new in the new year, it will likely be one of the affected movements I suspect. My current one was an April purchase and no issues apparent.
TBH it would be good if Rolex/Tudor just issued a recall and sorted the issue on those watches dating from before whatever changed in the manufacture. There is clearly a problem and these are not cheap items.
Yes bought new at the end of January
I was conscious that I hadn't worn it very much so was keeping it on for a few weeks, to see if the date issue arose, to make sure if mine was affected it happened under warranty at least
Given these issues surfaced last year, I had (wrongly) assumed they wouldn't be sending any out that had been sorted
Read something about the date wheel being too thin, not sure how accurate that is. And also that they replace the full movement now with those watches affected
Cheers

No idea on the mechanical cause but was always dubious of the over-oiling explanation that has apparently been commonly offered. Shame really, has tainted a genuinely lovely watch. Or maybe adds to some future mystique. Who knows?
I was offered a GMT by Tudor at Harrods - have turned it down awaiting a BB Harrods edition instead. Just don't get a good feeling with the GMT given all the issues people have been having. Also can't cope with the asymmetry caused by the date window...
Well mine is dated May and has the two day skip issue. I was hoping it had been resolved hey ho.
I was told by Rolex it's a defective part that is being retrofitted and the early delays were due to not having sufficient supply from the factory. Now it should be a 5 week turnaround which is what a service takes these days in any event.
Might hold off till next year, I have a few other watches on the wish list that I might get instead.
I have had mine for about the longest of anyone here (one of the UK first to arrive) and mine has, so far, been no problem whatsoever.

So, I've just bought a used BB GMT and over the last couple of days the date has jumped 2 days at a time. It's a June 2018 watch so still under warranty, my question is, can I just take this to any Tudor AD for warranty work or do I need to take it to the chain (Beaverbrook) that it was originally purchased from? I'm assuming any AD, as that is much easier for me.
Just got a call from my AD, they have one available on a strap. I’m waiting for a bracelet but happy to send anyone on here their details if interested. Could also potentially help out with posting if required.
My GMT.
No problems with the date and had it a fair while now. I must say I was not overly impressed with the Tudor watch strap I think there are better after market straps available though the deployment is very good. Not tried it on the bracelet yet and wear mine on a diver style strap which is very comfortable.
I have had mine since May this year and have to say I absolutely love it!

I have had two now, one on strap since March and just picked up a new one on bracelet both change correctly.

I spotted one of these on the bracelet in the window of Goldsmiths in Eldon Square yesterday if anyone in Newcastle is after one. I would have been tempted myself a year or so ago, but I’ve cooled on them, and am not confident the QC issues are truly resolved yet.
