I love mine so far easily my most worn watch this year.....
I happened to stumble across one today in an AD, I couldn't help myself so picked it up....so far I can't stop looking at it. Its bulky compared to the rolex gmt but not problematically so. Looking forward to wearing it daily for the next week to see how it feels :)

Any idea what the wait time is on one of these please?
Am off to New York mid-January and wondering if I'm likely to pick one up from Heathrow at all or even in NYC.
I've seen one in an AD window which was for sale though I passed on it, and others seem to be picking them up similarly easily so don't think the wait is as long as it has been. They'll likely not hang around in airports though as the flippers will pounce as they can sell on close to rrp.

Ordered last Friday, phone call Wednesday to say it’s in store and collected today, can’t complain at that!

Thanks for the responses - sounds like they are a little easier to source now vs. earlier in the year.
I know the answer to this already but I assume no dealer discount and they're all selling at RRP of £2,830?
Wakefields in Horsham had two GMTs available last week if interested.
No discount (not expected), Tudor pen, lanyard and jewellers screwdriver for bracelet. So happy customer.
No discount either but got a free leather/deployant strap and a nato and 5% cashback from amex

Crikey, that's a good result. The GMT wears as well on the leather as the bracelet.

Snap! I was also worried about the same thing coming from my 39mm Explorer. Fits under a shirt nicely and from my humble 7 inch wrist not as bad as I've read others make it out to be.
Love it. I picked mine up this weekend after a 2 week wait but my AD never implied they were becoming more available. Time will tell I guess (pardon the pun)
I have also joined the club today and picked up the GMT on a bracelet.
Now I am surfing for leather straps, seen one recommend on colareb sienna, interested in any other recommendations?

Have mine on a Steveostraps. Happy to email some pictures if that would assist.

I didn’t realise there’d been a price increase on these, even luckier picking one up last week.
Just noticed this...typical this happens as soon as I want to buy.
I walked by a local shop in Leamington today and they didn’t have any GMT’s or 58’s in the window. I’ll pop in during the week and see what the wait time is and associated deposit.

Tudor nailed it with this GMT. That vintage look, those toned down bezel colors are a beauty to look at. Sorry Rolex but the Tudor has more presence and style.
QUOTE=Craizeehair;5228705]Me and Mrs C went out yesterday to get a jump on the Christmas shopping. We were outside of our usual stomping grounds and made our way to an AD that I hadn’t visited before, after the usual gander at the familiar window offerings, I asked if they had a GMT in stock as I hadn’t yet seen one in the flesh, I was told that they did have one out the back that they would fetch and I could take a look at it.
First impressions were excellent, never mind ‘for the money’... it’s a great watch that I couldn’t say no to.

I was in the Apple Store, Solihull the other day talking Apple watch as you do when the salesman commented on my Rolex (Tudor GMT). A brief history of Tudor followed!
I totally agree with the comment about Tudor nailing it, I’ve wanted one of these since they were first announced at Basel, finally managed to snag one for a good price and it hasn’t been off my wrist since, running 5 seconds fast over a week and no issues with the date.
The Rolex GMT is too bling and attracts the wrong type of attention nowadays and the older ones are climbing in value quickly to the point where I’m scared to wear it everyday, in that aspect the Tudor is perfect, understated and a great tool watch.
I do have the Tudor Blue Nato and I’ll try it on that and see how it looks at some point, but for now the riveted bracelet is a great match and fit.

I've got my name down at Tustains for the 58 since mid October and I was told I won't get it by Christmas unfortunately. They are not a huge AD so I guess they don't really receive many...
Last week I've been offered the leather strap version but wasn't my cup of tea so I passed
If it helps, they told me they get 3 times as more GMTs than 58..

Really? I live in a pretty, err, rural community and no-one has ever done that... very odd

Theres one in Chisholm Hunter Kingston on Nato if anyone is desperate for one. Personally I think it makes more sense to buy on bracelet although the bracelets can be had separately for around £300 I believe

I love mine, the only thing I wish was different was a bit more of a taper on the bracelet. I may be too use to rolex bracelets but it's quite thick where it meets the clasp.
Still a gorgeous watch however! :D
There is one on a bracelet which is about to become available in Ernest Jones in the Westgate, Oxford.
You might have to be quick though. I am about to turn down the opportunity and I was told that if I didn’t take it, it would go back to Signet HQ to be distributed elsewhere in the group.
Saw one on a bracelet in Sheffield, Meadowhall today if anyone is on the hunt. The trouble is I can't remember if it was in Goldsmiths or Beaverbrooks.
There is one in Goldsmiths LEEDS, today if anyone wants one.
Anyone find it tricky to open the clasp? I guess I'm too used to the glidelock where there is a small spring lever. I've found its much easier to open the Tudor clasp by lifting the other pointy end first.
Is anyone else doing it like this?
Yes that is the easiest way of opening the Tudor clasp.

Just popped mine on a JPM Vintage leather... Think it looks great IMO.

One in the window @ Hugh Rice in Harrogate yesterday.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Central milton keynes Goldsmiths had one in the window last night.
They're clearly, finally, getting properly obtainable; only 2 years later than the nay-sayers said.
Great move if Tudor just deleted them and let the stock in the system disperse...
Just saying!

I've had mine over a year now and other than seeing one on someone's wrist at work, haven't seen another. I have seen a 58 in a Goldsmith's window though. Both are great watches, though the GMT is a thick old lump. I still love mine though!
Getting quite tempted by these. Does anyone wear theirs on a rubber strap? Think it would make for a great holiday watch.
