Dang just when I ruled it out as too thick and chunky you have to go and reply that it wears ok. Decisions decisions.

Oh it’s so nice, totally gen like. My most anticipated watch of the year. Is there a milky ring bothering you?
great question, don't know if there is a clear crystal gasket that can be swapped in?
Didn’t pay attention till now. Doesn’t bother me at all. Then again, I’m easily pleased.

If this wasn’t a thick beast I’d have been sold on this photo alone!Idk if this is proper but it’s good.
So, I have a little bit of a bone to pick with this general argument that a lot of people bring up. I summed it up in RWG and is not for anyone to take personally. I am also not a Tudor fan boy so I feel my thoughts are more centered.
I am the pickiest person in the world when it comes with how the watches wear and sit. I have bought and sold Submariners and Sea-Dwellers because of that alone.
Unless you have a wrist that is less than 6.5in, you can wear this. I do not know if there are people who got turned off to these due to the Pepsi BB GMT being 41mm and just a tad taller. But this one wears like an Explorer, even a Datejust. It's a cushion case, Lug to Lug is short enough and it is 39mm in diameter.
Tudor, somehow, has masterly done this whole tall watch and small diameter in this case. Not in the Pepsi GMT.
This wears better than a 16610 Submariner or a 16660 Sea Dweller. The case hugs your wrist, and to add to it, the bracelet with its female endlinks help that as well. The micro adjust and the wear is so good that I have only had to adjust it once. And that's because my wrist swelled due to heat and humidity.
This one is not top heavy, does not slide back and forth like the BBGMT did. I hated the BBGmt because I loved the look, I hated how it wore.
I know everyone's hesitation, but, it's not as bad as Hodonkee and every damn watch influencer has made it to be.
