First video I've seen of the new Aquaracer GMT, looks a lot better than the renders. What do you guys think?

No, this is the same old Sellita.
I think it looks nice too, but $4k for a Sellita ‘caller’ GMT is no longer viable as the Black Bay GMT is the same price, plus there are now true GMT movements in watches costing under $1000.
Not sure if I asked this already but can someone explain the difference in GMT mechanism, my Mont Blanc operates that hand with the winder in the ‘date’ position and moves in 1 hour jumps, turn it the other way the date changes, how does the other? work.

I get the comparison with the Tudor Pro from a price/movement standpoint, but aesthetically they are completely different. I would consider the Aquaracer, I would never buy the Tudor, even if the movement is better. Seems to me people compare watches all the time without taking the looks into consideration... as if it doesn't matter what it looks like. I mean, I might choose a family car on spec, but not a watch.

Okay, so what I'm trying to get at is the Aquaracer is an ultra modern looking watch, whereas the Tudor is based on an old Rolex. I really don't like vintage inspired (which I know is a bit unusual in the watch world since that's what 'everyone' wants, hence the success of the BB/BB58/most successful Tudors), so for me there is no comparison since I wouldn't buy the Tudor even if it was half the price and twice as good. What can we compare the Aquaracer to that is ultra modern looking, Swiss and of comparable price and specs?
Not sure about ultra modern, but what about the longines Zulu time?
Definitely not modern, it has fauxtina! This is the thing, TAG has very little direct competition when it comes to looks. Which is probably why they can get away with charging more. The other brands are competing more because they are operating in a similar aesthetic.
