I think you are 100% correct on slightly bigger indicies. I love the white opaline dial, but it does seem a bit empty. I hope this watch gets a bit of a makeover in a year or two, and they make it a bit thinner with bigger indicies and their t-fit clasp. That would be legendary. ❤
I have mine for almost a year and it beautiful. It’s my fake Rolex white gold meteorite. Lol. I have three other Tudors, Pelagos 42 blue date, BB 41, and Pro. Yeah I’m a fanboy. They need tfit
Did you find a bunch of Spanish gold at the bottom of the sea on your term as a "submariner". ? jeezuz Navy! it's called the Cheap Watch Man................Beat Navy!
This Tudor watch is quite thick, it is 14.6mm thick. I highly recommend to try wearing it and then decide. It was too thick for my taste and the reason I did not buy it. If you like it and are comfortable wearing it on your wrist then by all means buy it as it is a very good value for a high quality GMT watch. The Tudor Black Bay GMT (model M79830RB-0001) lists for $4,375.
I feel most people not pick on watches with no real criticism. Haters gonna hate but when you’re sending $4000 it’s a big deal. Most families in America can’t even get $500 together. So if you’re in a position to buy this watch be proud and wear it with confidence it’s gorgeous.
Have the Tudor BB58. Love it.. Great watch.. Will eventually get the BB gmt black dial. Seen pre-owned ones go for around 3k with box/papers. That's a killer deal.
I've had the original black dial over a year now and love it. Although if they had this white dial version when I bought it I would have got the white dial.
I have had the black dial version for a year and I am still in love with mine, it's a perfect fit for my 7 1/4 wrist , to me it's all about the movement and the warranty. My only complaint is the lume, but I have a growing stockpile of san martin homages that I frequently swap out at night anyway, to keep the gold diggers focused and in case the watch gets smashed or dropped. I loved this watch before I ever saw one. I started w/seiko divers in the early 80's , and to me a watch needs to have some size and command presence for it to establish superiority when surrounded by 98% of other watches. Great minds think alike! thank you for this video and thank you for you service also.
You one of them crazy people who wears a watch while sleeping!?!? What happens if you have a nightmare and your swinging your arms fighting them imaginary demons🤣(I guess the watch is a weapon at that point)
Agree. I bough mine (black dial and bracelet) two years and a half ago. Everything works perfectly I love it and I don't care about that people are talking about thickness, bracelet rivets...they seems like parrots.
What a great review - the best imo on the GMT opaline. I own both Tudor GMT's and love them, even owning a Rolex 1675 and a current Rolex GMT BLRO. Tudor has their own style and it justifies owning one (or more) besides Rolex.
I would also argue that although I like the look of the GMT opaline dial on a bracelet way more than the nato strap, it definitely feels better on that nato. Lighter and more versatile.
Your opinion is your own, but you’re the first person I’ve ever seen complain about female end links and less text on a dial. Still a quality review. It’s either this, the GMT pro or the new Lorier GMT
My Black Bay GMT S&G is one of my favorite watches. I love the new Opaline but am hanging on to my "root beer" for now. Totally agree with you about the logos and text could be bigger on the dial.
Love Tudor watches. Thank you for your time and efforts to review and share this lovely watch. I use the GMT feature to remind me of the time difference to my children on another continent. Take care, brother.
Yes, I'm totally with you on the date - No date isn't a deal breaker on a watch, but when I'm spending serious money, I don't want any compromises. If I get a Tudor, it'll probably have to be the GMT for that reason.
Nice review, I love the Tudor as it’s just a bit different. And fyi when you’re referring to the indices, it’s simply ‘index’ when you refer to a singular and indices when it’s more than one 👍
I agree the indices need to be bigger to fill the dial better. Case needs to be thinner. Fourteen-point-five is way too thick for me. It would have to be under 13mm for me to consider it at all. Prefer brushed finishing on the case sides. Other than that, I think it looks good.
Randy I love your content on both channels as I’m both a watch and audio enthusiast. Been collecting watches for 30 years, ever since my first watch at age 12. My wife gifted me the BB GMT black dial for our 10th wedding anniversary and it’s the absolute favorite in my collection of over 50 and counting - I love the size, the aluminum bezel, the hands, fake rivets, and how it IS NOT a Rolex which may be the best part - all of the benefits without the cachet/baggage. I tend toward micro brands but this one first me perfectly. The sentimental value is also tremendous. Thanks for always doing a great job, Randy. Hope to run in to you at one of the audio fests one of these days. Bravo.
Hello in my opinion is the crystal a double domed. I like the channel and i have the same style of watches and for sure i like submarines. My best looking sub is the 7 c boat. Have you seen the film. "Das Boot" ore the best american film gray lady down. And red october. All greetings. Thank you for your good contend.
I went to my AD to try on the GMT expecting to love it and right away I noticed that the indices felt a little too small in person. Not something I noticed in photos. They only had the black but I think I'd way prefer opaline. Since it'd be my first expensive watch, I couldn't quite pull the trigger. I then tried on a green Seamaster 300M on the bracelet and absolutely loved it. The green was amazing in person and I agree that the design overall just felt much more complete. Both awesome watches.
love my opaline gmt - agree with the indices - i have been wearing the blue pelagos for 4 years and so switching to the gmt the indices are way smaller - more dressier though!
I could have bought the Deep Sea at retail and didn’t take it. Too heavy. Pointless heavy watch. The Omega has that huge wart that ruins the watch. A 55 hour power reserve on the Omega isn’t good enough for a luxury watch. The Tudor is nice for the price. The movement keeps wonderful time and the 70 hour power reserve, should be the minimum for a luxury watch.
I had black version. My wrist is 7.5 inches, 41 mm is my prefered dimension and I didn't mind slabbed side look, but the wearability of this watch is awful. It's just too chunky and heavy, always fighting with it, also, bracelet was pulling my arm hair, sold it in the end.
Tudors were way better when they looked like a Rolex and they had the rose logo. A Tudor submariner with mercedes hands and a rose dial just looks so much better than anything they make now.
