I bought this watch yesterday, it just arrived at the AD and I was told it was for exhibition only. But the seller eventually told me I was a real enthusiast and wanted to sell it to me. Felt like I hit the jackpot. Pictures and videos don’t do this watch justice, it’s so much nicer in person. The way light reflects on the bezel and gilt accents is stunning.

The clasp is still huge on the bottom of my wrist; the 6 o’clock side doesn’t articulate, and the 12 o’clock side has a set of scissor arms that are about 1/4” too long! The effective length of the clasp is well over 50mm!

Today visited my AD to check if he had this one. Unfortunately not, they had just one and it sold two days ago. However tried a few other Black Bays and was surprised in the size difference between the BB58 and the regular GMT (41mm). Difference was so substantial I'm almost wondering if the 58 won't feel too small for such a nice looking (and expensive) example. Food for thought. Put down my name so they will give me a call when the Coke reappears in shop, so I'll have some time to make up my mind

On month ago, I went to a Tudor ID and I tried the new one, and to be honest, I prefer the 41mm. Looks better on my big wrist and also, I prefer the mat Pepsi bezel and hands and markers in silver, but is just my opinion and my preference. Many thanks for sharing an excellent video.

I bought one of the first Tudor GMTs. Soon as I had the watch in my hand. I turned the bezel. It was so noisy and clunky that I was so embarrassed, I didn’t let any of my friends touch the watch or put it in their hand at all. Almost felt like there was something wrong with the Bezzle. I sent it back to the Rolex Service center in New York City. It was there for several months. Finally came back to me. Then the date. It was skipping between days and it would show half a digit. It just plain got stuck. Back to New York it went. I kept it exactly 6 months. Then sold it. So essentially the watch was at the service center in New York more than it was on my wrist. Soon as I took the watch out of the box, it just felt flimsy. wearing a Rolex GMT since 1967. Then buying the Tutor GMT. What can I say for me? It was just not a very good experience. I’m not bad mouthing the watch. I’m just telling everybody what happened with the watch that I bought. At the moment I’m looking at my Rolex GMT 2022 on my wrist. I’m happy. Tudor tried to fast track this watch and get it on the market before Basil. It will never hold its value like the Rolex GMT.

[@TheLumeRoom]

@waynesilva3129 Sorry you had a bad experience. I don't think anyone says Tudor retains value like a Rolex. Enjoy your watch

Its growing on me, but still to thick. I bought a Tudor Royal for a steal and that is a excellent watch. Can't wait for these to continue to drop value so i may get one.

@TheLumeRoom Personally, I like the matt dial looking almost like a very dark grey and the snowflake hands, and the micro adjustment on the bracelet is great. I think most people initially like it because it's shiny and like my nephew thought, a Rolex, but even when they find out its not, they still like it.

I have the BB54 and love the rivets but put it on a strap for reasons of comfort. The Cherry* Coke looks great - the burgundy goes well with the rose gold gilt. *can’t explain why I call it Cherry Coke but it works for me. Would love to see a comparison with the BB54.

[@TheLumeRoom]

Cherry Coke works. Cool, I should be able to do a 58 GMT vs 54. Anything in particular you want me to cover, or just everything?

[@ajdoozbrain]

What a fantastic video! I don’t believe in perfect but this piece just destroys every everyday watch. It’s a masterpiece

[@TheLumeRoom]

Thank you for your kind words! I agree, it's near perfect. Great for any collection!

[@Imthecoach1]

What a great review

[@TheLumeRoom]

@@Imthecoach1 Really appreciate your feedback. Thanks

[@DadeMurphie]

Is that the only way to set the date? That looks really annoying to do if you need to forward many days.

[@TheLumeRoom]

@DadeMurphie This is common functionality of a true GMT movement

[@ScreaminEmu]

Could I take the black and gold fabric strap from the normal 58 and slap it on the GMT, you think? I'm a sucker for their fabric straps, but they obv don't offer one with the new GMT yet.

[@TheLumeRoom]

Same lug width I believe, so you should be able to do it.

[@JJ-po5eb]

My only issue is the gold GMT hand. Blends in too much which reduces its utility to a degree. Would have preferred a red GMT hand the same color as the red in the watch.

[@TheLumeRoom]

@@JJ-po5eb I've heard that a few times. I don't mind the guilt GMT hand, although I wouldn't mind seeing it in red

[@avarmauk]

39mm is the goat!!!

[@TheLumeRoom]

@avarmauk Yeah 39/40 is the sweet spot

[@toshiba2243]

just bought the watch its beautiful

[@TheLumeRoom]

Glad you like it! Did you go bracelet or rubber?

[@tacticaltruth8118]

I would call it the “Cherry Coke” since the “red” is a little darker than the standard Coke red.

[@TheLumeRoom]

Not bad. The red is such a good highlight of this piece

Can anyone please shed light on the AD buying experience? Im sure it’s not Rolex standards but am i going to have to convince my AD to sell me one?

[@TheLumeRoom]

Definitely not the Rolex experience. Depends on your Tudor AD, but they'll sell you whatever they have in stock

[@NorfTec]

I would have bought this straight away, but the whole gilt effect tudor keep putting on all their watches make me sick. It looks plain nasty. Please stop doing the whole ''Fake aged'' thing

[@TheLumeRoom]

@@wicked-witch-of-the-west What do you think they could have done differently?

[@wicked-witch-of-the-west]

@@TheLumeRoom Would have been a perfect watch, without that horrible faux gilt/worn gold effect, they seem to stick on 90% of their watches. Horrible. When will Tudor realise people want PURE stainless steel watches, not tacky gilt/gold/two tone

[@TheLumeRoom]

@@wicked-witch-of-the-west So they should just copy every other watch out there?

[@wicked-witch-of-the-west]

@@TheLumeRoom Not really, just stop with this whole faux patina garbage. Plus this is basically a copy of the rolex coke anyway, so if you're gonna do a copy, don't go 80% of the way, and then add this horrible gilt/patina nonsense

[@TheLumeRoom]

@wicked-witch-of-the-west Plenty buyers out there who love what Tudor has done, and there's plenty other options for those who prefer something else. Focus on what you like.

[@galaman12001]

I want this but on the rubber strap.

[@TheLumeRoom]

Looks great on rubber. What if a bracelet version got offered, would you take it?

[@galaman12001]

@@TheLumeRoom I would, and order the rubber

[@TheLumeRoom]

@@galaman12001 Good choice ;)

[@anamorph]

this one is not so cool, because of the fake rivets (very ugly), the crystal (why the stupid dome?) and the thickness (fat monster watch). Sorry, but seriously it looks outdated even when new.

[@TheLumeRoom]

@@anamorph That's a different opinion than most. Have you tried one on?

[@simon0044]

Should have used the same black dial as the 54. This one looks grey in certain light

[@TheLumeRoom]

We've gotta have variety though, right?

[@Dronetothetop]

Lovely watch from Tudor.

[@TheLumeRoom]

It's top class. Something you'd consider adding to your collection?

For the price i cant believe they didnt color match the date wheel

They did colour match the date wheel with the other indices

[@johnw6613]

@@TheLumeRoomif they did it to color match it to the other indices they should gilted the perimeter of the date window to match the other gilted indices, i love the watch but i just think at 4600$ usd the attention to detail needs to be better my prx even has a steel perimeter to match the steel indices, It wouldnt stop me from buying this watch but its just disappointing

[@TheLumeRoom]

@@johnw6613 Sounds like you're extremely into a framed date window. If that's your thing, keep at it.

[@johnw6613]

@@TheLumeRoom it seems like you have an issue with pointing out things that could be improved on the watch. It is definitely nit picking but at this price point its completely acceptable to nit pick in my opinion

[@TheLumeRoom]

@johnw6613 First, you said they haven't colour matched the date wheel, which is incorrect. You're now saying it should have a framed date window, which is a preference, not an improvement. You have also mentioned the price a few times which sounds like you can't really afford it. I'm happy to point out things like the clasp could be longer or they could add in a half link. It's not right though to think a company is somewhat cutting corners because they didn't go with your your preference on dial configuration. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
