NTTD looking good. Prefer that to the new 60th I think.
Thanks Steve!
I assume you mean the new 60th Bond watch (rather than the 60th Carrera). I always wanted the NTTD from the moment it was announced in 2019, took me nearly 3 years to get it. If I were choosing today vs. the 60years Bond it would be a very tough choice. But I think I'd still lean towards the NTTD, as it's titanium, thinner case, more unique color and actually worn by 007 in Craig's final outing as the character.

Yes, the 60th bond Seamaster. I鈥檒l wait to see in the flesh but tried a NTTD on a couple of months ago and loved it - I think the colours just work, whereas the blue looks quite muted on the 60th (almost BB58 like).

This is an excellent question.

The movement is clearly better on the Tudor (especially the 70 hour power reserve and the precision).

The Aquaracer is thinner, it looks smaller while both have a 41mm diameter. It's more pleasant on this point.

I prefer the ceramic (and black) insert of the Aquaracer GMT.

I prefer the Tudor bracelet, thicker, stronger and with better finishing on the bracelet but also the buckle.

If I had to choose only one, it would be the Tudor Black Bay GMT (this is my 9th Black Bay GMT since the launch in June 2018 and it is my 3rd Aquaracer 500m GMT).

I also owned the Black Bay Pro for a few months. I didn't keep it because I find it too small, the 39mm is not for me and I prefer the 41mm.

This morning :
