gooner2826 159 Posted February 22, 2023 Well priced at $338…. Just feels much more palatable for some reason 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me, when the prices start starting in a '4', with postage, and then possibly import charges on top, then I'm very much out... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simonix 8,661 Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) What are your first impressions @mclarendude? look/feel good in hand? Edited February 22, 2023 by Simonix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mclarendude 8,008 Posted February 22, 2023 What are your first impressions [mention=48832]mclarendude[/mention]? look/feel good in hand? Initial thoughts: - Dates are perfectly centered, all of them.No dial alignment issues, as some posted about my QC- The bezel numbers are not as close to the edge (or bevel) as they seem on camera.- No, the thickness or height is not as bad as some make it. If you can wear a 16660 Sea Dweller, you can wear this.- Feel is up to ZF standards. I have owned a PP Aquanaut and the BB Pepsi GMT from them, feels great.- The clasp microadjustment.... a dream... Feels as good as my Monta's... Bracelet needs an oil bath.- Hand stack? I can't tell ICHS or CHS unless I pay actual attention to it. The black painted hand bases hide it well.- NWBIG? Hell. Yeah. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rx4Time 1,472 Posted February 23, 2023 I might need to jump on one of these to try out. Looks phenominal in the pictures! I am good with "ICHS" and a more reliable movement and a more reasonable price. The reps recently seem to be getting out of control expensive. I know, supply and demand, inflation, etc.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,510 Posted February 23, 2023 I should pass into a Tudor boutique to try one on... In general I fit better with 41/43mm watches, this could look small on me... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 13,792 Posted February 23, 2023 Hmm........I can't decide about this one. I'm a big Tudor fan, but the design of this seems like something San Marco would do. Its just a copy of an old Rolex design, not much creativity compared to the other Tudors. While nicely executed, I think this will be one I pass on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,510 Posted February 23, 2023 They should move up and release this one, and make me happy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simonix 8,661 Posted February 23, 2023 @mclarendude THanks. It looks awesome. At 39mm, it is smaller than I norally go for, but I have been fond of this model since it was released! I think it may become my first brand new rep purchase in a long time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rx4Time 1,472 Posted February 23, 2023 The one concern I have is this is 0.2 mm thinner than the black Bay GMT Pepsi. I'm concerned being 2 mm narrower it's going to feel off center and top heavy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The clasp is the same weight if not heavier now, because of the glidelock/microadjust, so I am guessing it wouldn't feel much worse. Alot of the thickness comes from the domed crystal anyway. Interested to hear the thoughts about this from people who have had the BB GMT, I am really considering switching to this from my BB GMT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A smaller base with the same height and weight. Curious to be sure. I doubt the clasp would do much for it if it is top heavy and tall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A smaller base with the same height and weight. Curious to be sure. I doubt the clasp would do much for it if it is top heavy and tall. Yet the BBGMT is 41mm, this is 39. I've owned both. This wears nothing like the BBGMT, it wears way better. I disliked the BB GMT for those two reasons, top heavy and off center feeling. I have a 7in wrist and it has not moved either way of my wrist, the 39mm really offsets the height. Have only had to adjust the microadjust once because my wrist expanded in heat. I'll be even more frank, as I wrote on my initial thoughts. If you can wear a 16610 or even a 16660 SD, you can wear this. People are ignoring the fact that the case is cushion shaped and the lugs droop down as opposed to a normal Diver design, so it feels more like a 41mm DJ or Explorer. Adding the female endlinks helps with it hugging the wrist. I see it as an Explorer on drugs, yes it's big and tall, but it's every bit as comfortable. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, looks like I now know what I am getting next, I have quite a small wrist so my BB GMT never quite fit perfect. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
