I've been wearing the Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT constantly for nearly a month now. It's that good. A friend of mine just got into the Rolex AD dance and June saw another price hike on their gold pieces.
I alluded to that question in my last video as I actually owned the 16760. Collectibility and status is definitely on Rolex side. For a daily, it's hard to beat Tudor but of course Rolex has proven itself for decades as the most reliable watch. It comes down to whether you want a classic asset that needs a bit more care or a modern reliable tool that doesn't break the bank.
I hope they do, though I’m not sure it’ll ever actually happen. Waiting for either the 5 link or a different color before I seriously consider this gmt.
Absolutely love this watch I’m pretty much certain it’s going to be my next daily watch, one question, do you think Tudor will release a 5 link bracelet and different colours in the coming years? Great video, thanks
GMT hand is not colored, making it difficult to pick up on and differentiate. Gilt hands aren't the easiest to see through Tudor's boxed sapphire crystals. Still not a fan of the gilt on the insert, nor the insert's colors. My AD got one in, sent me some pics of it, and I told him no thanks. If Tudor offers better colors, maybe. I still wouldn't like the lack of color on the GMT hand. Looks unfinished and bizarre.
Exquisite watch. Wear it in good health. Question: Getting a clean even cut when sizing rubber straps can be a pain. Did you size it yourself or did you have it done by the AD?
Interesting your friend got a call 2 days later - HK economy must be on hard times. But congrats to him. A Daytona and a Sub. Glad you’re still enjoying the Tudor ‘Coke’ - my AD said mine should arrive in a few weeks.
I like it but there's one thing that would drive me nuts - that the dial is matt black and not a gloss black. I much prefer super dark gloss black. The blacker the better. But that's just me.
The daytona is the best rolex imo, i bought it in switzerland, it was the right size for me, and she is beautiful . Better than the Gmt. Now, I'm curious to see how much it's worth today, so I'm planning to do a little research.
Great that will fetch you some cash. *I used to be a collector, but I liquidated my collection to venture into real estate. In January, I acquired homes in Malibu for $35million, and the returns on investment far exceed what I earned as a collector.
Not sure that’s true. I thought Rolex was +/-2 where Metas is -0/+5. Although both of those are just ratings and I have found both Tudor and Rolex can be much better than those figures.
