Didn’t know they done the 58 bezels, only saw the GMT previously. Was close to buying the easy link, but releases it only gave 5mm increase, rather thank 2mm you get from adjusting the clasp.

Must say the T Fit I’ve got on the rubber strap and also on the bracelet for the BB36 I find a game changer.

Looks like they’re working on an adjustable link with much finer adjustment:

Tried the 58 GMT on today. Pretty nice. Doesn’t look like a 12.8mm thick watch - I think the design of flat case back and all mid case gives that illusion of being thicker than it really is. I’d prefer it didn’t have the Gilt everywhere, but it does work nicely and all in nicely done. Some nice options in the £3.5-4k range with the aquaracers also very nice.

Looks good, but just a touch too much gilt. I’m looking forward to seeing what Tudor release next year, hopefully a toned down 58 gmt

Yep - even if you swapped the bezel, you are stuck with the gilt due to the dial/ hands. Maybe next year, but nice all the same.

I’d have the blue/ black aquaracer i think if these were the options.

I have tried this one on too. Totally agree with the above, regarding the gilt. It’s just not my thing. Imagine it following the BB Monochrome style, with the jubilee bracelet. Now that would be next level. Not sure how you differentiate from Rolex at that stage mind you.

Spot on - it certainly would. They’ll doubtless come out with a few other colourways in time. But as a watch, it’s not a bad size and nicely build as all tudors are.

I actually think they may do the same case/ movement placement with the pro to slim that down, but let’s see.

There’s a rumour of a new pelagos on 31st in conjunction with a certain London department store again - that will be interesting if true - a possible green pelagos 39 maybe….,

The gilt in the dial doesn’t bother me, & gilt on my OG BB58 doesn’t bother me, but that is now starting to tone down. On the GMT I agree it’s too much.

Role on W&W25

Hmm doubt they’ll offer 2 Harrods editions. Their new BB is already been shown

I’ve seen a few comments along this lines, talking about slimming down the BB GMT with the new movement. I’d definitely be interested in a slimmer gmt, although personally I’m hoping for a ceramic gmt.

The 175th was not advertised and offered to 175 punters only. It’s not a purchasable piece.

Let’s Wait and see. My SA (who has no reason to lie) has apparently seen it and when I questioned whether it was the 175 was told it’s a pelagos. It does make sense to have a regular production Harrods piece.

I think it’s a no brainer for the 41 too. But yes, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see something like a pelagos GMT or a ceramic as you say.

This one would look cool with that blue strap too mind you:

Sadly the 3 hander and the GMT use a COSC version of the dreaded Sellita!

I really like my GMT Night Mission and it gets a lot of wrist time. It wears really well, despite its size it is slim and lightweight. I think the pvd and titanium is softer than my TAGs, I don’t think I’ve been any rougher with it than my other PVD watches, but it’s developing patina.

The chronos look cool, but I’d like to try one on the wrist to check the thickness with the display back.

Very cool that. I have grown partial to a sand coloured sail cloth strap of late. 😀

These new ones are Ceramic btw @dtf, so takes the patina out of it. Although, I think the patina only adds to the overall feel with the sand strap.
