I genuinely love this watch! If it wasn’t so thick I might have grabbed it over the new 58... still on the fence with how the 58 crown is looking.

Even in gen they are aguring that its too thick since it host the newly inhouse movement produce by tudor. Gen world said that maybe upcoming year they will thin down the movement and get a better watch in general.

I thought this watch is just right in terms of thickness. Rolex GMT is thinner but its alright for me TBH.

yea - that wasn't a dig at the rep being mis-sized.. more a comment on the watch being thicker than I'd like. It really is a fantastic looking watch.

Anyone else have QC issues with this? Nothing showed up in pics from TD, but whe. I got it I noticed dust/dirt on the inside of the crystal. I’m an armatuer when it comes to watch repair, so I don’t want to do it myself.

Ah mine is on the way from my TD. Cant wait to see it in person.

Picked one up m2m and am really liking it. I actually prefer the gmt hand under the hour hand, it belongs in the background.

Only thing I’m a little unsure about is the rivet bracelet.

Switch it with a croc strap bro. Cheers on the watch.

I’ve never been a fan of croc leather except on certain true dress watches.

It would probably look good on a distressed leather nato though

I got mine today and it's stunning. Looking for a gen like NATO and this will be perfect. Truly a beautiful watch.

Congrats, I really like the Tudor GMT if its not for the defect in my movement. Is your bezel centered or misaligned? I am sending mine back to have the bezel and movement sorted out after CNY. I am currently looking to acquire the BB58.

My bezel is perfectly aligned and sits tight with a nice clicking action. Nothing about this feels cheap. Sorry to hear yours has issues hopefully it gets sorted soon.

Adding in some rep vs gen insert shots. Just received mine today. Rep Insert is nearly perfect.

From the picture there isn't much difference.

Are you planning to change the rep insert out? Please share how you do this? I would like to adjust my insert abit or maybe even replace it with another rep insert.

The rep insert is held in with some dbl sided adhesive....mine actually started lifting out on its own (great QC work). I'll get some dbl sided tape or some jeweler adhesive to apply the new one. The differences are very very, subtle. Unless you had them side by side you would NEVER know, even upon close inspection.

Do you need to pry out the bezel itself? I don't see how you can just pull the insert out with the bezel in place without damaging the insert. Is the bezel similar to prying out the bezel on a Rolex GMT or Sub?
