ZF will launch the 2018 Baselworld Tudor Black Bay GMT Pepsi next month

GL‘ d it. Let’s see when it arrives. Already can not wait for it

Kind of wish there was a better factory/version for the GMT. The ZF seems fine but I'd like something a little nicer.

The only thing that I nitpick is that the blue is darker on this than gen. I saw what was supposedly a gen insert for $75. Wish I woulda snagged one and then got this ZF. But I really like this watch.

Does it have the "correct hand stack"?

No sir. But I prefer the reliable movement over CHS any day. Now that some more reliable CHS Rollies are being produced, maybe they'll trickle their way down to the humble Tudors.

Not sure how much demand there would be for such a thing at this point though given that it could cost a solid $100+ I presume?

Do you mean the 24hr GMT triangle on the bezel insert? It looks fine to me

I follow this advice, looks fine too.

Hello everyone, I recently bought a gmt pepsi at sead, what I did not see on the QC is that there is a small gap on the date wheel, I join you some photos, do those who own it have the same problem?
Do you think that can be repaired easily?
Thank you.

The date wheel is quite recessed on these, when they were first released everyone thought date alignment was all over the place, however it was just how far recessed the date was causing any photo slightly off angle to affect how the date looked.

I'm not sure how recessed the gen is, and I don't think I've seen anyone with a mod to change how recessed our reps are.

 

[stephparis75]

Thank you for your answer.

 

[botsyboy]

It’s recessed due to the gmt modification on these. The gen is of course not recessed.

Ouh that does not look very good. Can you actually see that while you are looking at the watch whilst it is on your wrist.

No, because you need a particular angle, but because of the gap, it made like a small shadow on the date wheel with the light.

Could possibly be cured if this is an actual printed wheel you could fit a standard eta dw and then trim this as an overlay or if it’s an overlay you could raise using dial dots.

Gmt arrived yesterday. Such a good looking piece. I am just wondering if I keep it or not. It’s a bit bulky on my tiny wrist.

 

[RepWatchNoob]

I absolutely love it but i have the feeling it is too big on my wrist

 

[Parci73]

Yes, That is also my problem, its a beautiful watch but a little big for my wrist. Will wait for the next upcomming watch fair ...

I hope we will see a BB58 GMT!

Hi, do you have the same date issue as me ? Thx

 

[RepWatchNoob]

Not noticeable to me. I already sold it, but just it is too big for my wrist. I absolutely love the look of it and I think the rep has some good quality as well. Lume is awesome on that one

I bump this thread a bit...

Anyone have ideas/links to some cool nato for this watch?

Seen the one from crown&buckle was looking really good but it seems the blue color doesn't match the insert color (browsed the 55 pages of that thread)

By the same occasion, if someone have some strap (leather, nato,...) for that watch, feel free to drop me a PM.

 

[Gooch15]

Not a NATO, but Crafter Blue sells curved end link rubber straps for Tudors

 

[SHB]

Don't want a rubber but more something like that https://www.crownandbuckle.com/chevron-adjustable-night-crimson.html
