REVIEW: Tudor Black Bay GMT Baselworld 2018 with comparison to Rolex 126710BLRO Pepsi

[@King_Harrold]

Owned this watch for a month and love it. No 'wrist ache' from the size. Ride motorbikes, wear it for 15 hours a day, wear it with a suit etc etc. It fits every occasion.

[@avarmauk]

Which watch?

[@resjon7981]

@@avarmauk Must be talking about the Tudor as The Rolex GMTs are scarce.

[@alanking5001]

Totally agree, ita an awesome watch .

[@Tal-wb9jn]

70 hr power reserve...200m water resistance...no cyclops...no crown guard ...snowflake hands...colors are better...aluminum bezel and the final nail in the coffin $3900...like them both as a value proposition the Tudor beats the Rolex!

[@WatchHobbyist]

Scrap the 200m WR, use the 58 case and winner

[@Tal-wb9jn]

Watch Hobbyist Thanks for the response...for me...I am 6’1 w/ a 7.75in (19.7cm) wrist...I much prefer the size and heft of the BB GMT...

[@mikep197]

I share your opinion completely. I used to own a vintage Rolex GMT and didn't care for the size, stamped light bracelet, and could take or leave the cyclops. For my 7.5" wrist the Tudor size is perfect and I much prefer the size and color of the Tudod bezel over the new pink and blurple ceramic Rolex bezel. Tudor nailed it IMO...

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

I agree. The Tudor is the way to go.

[@justinh1258]

15mm thick is the killer for this watch

[@Ryansrangereport]

Damn I've never had someone nitpick SO hard. Christ.

[@alc8479]

The Rolex dial and bezel look too busy and obnoxious the Tudor looks stylish n classy, it’s colors look better also.

[@msmo4127]

I'll take the Tudor over the Rolex and in fact did just that.

[@WatchHobbyist]

You turned down a Rolex Pepsi at retail?

[@msmo4127]

Watch Hobbyist No, meaning I wanted a GMT and I picked the Tudor over any Rolex GMT. I don't like the Rolex case/bracelet/cyclops and the overall Rolex image.

[@WatchHobbyist]

Well then you’ll understand I don’t like the Tudor case/bracelet/lack of cyclops and lack of image they have 😊

[@msmo4127]

Watch Hobbyist yup, to each his own, but the people calling the Tudor "garbage" and whatnot are just Rolex fanboys, it's an outstanding watch with its own merits.

[@WatchHobbyist]

I certainly never called it “garbage”, but I find it to be overrated, bulky, heavy and appearing to show unreliability with the date. Each to their own as you say.

[@neilglucente]

The hairspring on the Tudor GMT is made of non-ferrous silicon while the Rolex blue parachrom hairspring is made of what Rolex calls a "paramagnetic alloy." It is generally asserted that silicon has amagnetic properties while blue parachrom has anti-magnetic properties. As a result, the Tudor movement actually has a higher degree of magnetic resistance than the Rolex movement.

[@WatchHobbyist]

Interesting to know, thanks for clarifying

[@MrBrianc1975]

I wonder actually if you'd notice any difference between the two hair springs though really. It sounds to me like Rolex were frantically searching for a way to improve their movements and came up with this clever bit of marketing. Most owners wouldn't even know what it was.

[@neilglucente]

brian connolly. The difference in magnetic resistance between the two movements is probably negligible. If, for some reason, one of these watches gets magnetised, it's unlikely that the hairsprings will be affected; rather, one of the myriad other ferrous bits and pieces will be the likely problem.

[@dylanglyn]

@@neilglucente No they wont ..no matter how magnetised a cog is it will still turn at the same rate, when a hairspring is magnetised it contracts and the power increases making the watch run fast..

[@Audittr2108]

Interesting video. Probably being a little tough on the £2830 Tudor to compare to the Rolex which in reality is a £14-15K watch as getting one at list is practically impossible. Even at list, its well over double the price. I love the Rolex but as with most of their sports watches, they’re getting a little blingy and are no longer the tool watches they once were. There’s no doubting the Tudor is a true tool watch.

[@davidclarke1731]

The Tudor beats it on looks and the colours look better ,price good and just as accurate ,70 hr power reserve leave it Friday put it on Monday and still working ! Sold.

[@paulvon2378]

Rolex are the best but Tudor is great as well if you can afford it.

[@BiffTannenBTTF]

This watch in the 58 case would have been much better.

[@deltropico7]

[@davidb9531]

As someone that owns a bb 58 for comfort I agree, but I actually prefer the GMT size for wrist presence, I would rather keep the gmt and will maybe flip the 58 at some point

[@BoyCypriot]

So funny that you’ve made a video trying to sell the Rolex but you’ve made me want the Tudor more! Looks 100 times better and with the over inflated Rolex prices it’s a fifth of the price! No brainer really, Tudor all the way 👍🏻

[@tonyl7000]

The Tudor has an aluminum bezel doesn't it? It's going to fade in a lighter red/pink probably.. which should look nice.

[@WatchHobbyist]

It does have Alu yes

[@chi-city-living3871]

I think the Tudor would've been amazing if it was less thick. There is no reason for it to be so thick. It's the same thickness as the SD43 that has over 6 times the water resistance. Not the biggest fan of the rivet bracelet either. Still, there is a lot to love about this watch.

[@WatchHobbyist]

You make good points. In the BB58 case it would have been perfect.

[@ryanmiller923]

@@WatchHobbyist Yes, would have been great to have 2 sizes available - current size for those who want larger case & BB58 case size

Why the hell would you want the Tudor GMT ?? If you have a Rolex GMT And why would you even consider comparing Rolex is Rolex and Tudor is Tudor they are not in the same class off fit and finish I know Rolex is apart of Tudor but you can not compare the two and think or hoping it will be on the same level ever Tudor makes great watches It's like trying to compare a Toyota to Lexus thinking your Toyota gonna get Lexus quality wont happen

[@WatchHobbyist]

I think you missed the point. The comparison wasn't completely direct. It was there to state that if I only owned the Tudor, it would make more sense as a watch to me. The fact however, I've owned several GMT models from Rolex suddenly makes the watch less appealing as I see way more negative points than that of a person who has only owned the Tudor.

Now a few of those same people own this watch and have come back to me and said they now agree with me. Keep up the great work!

[@WatchHobbyist]

Thanks. Haters gonna hate and all that but certainly, I have never seen such ill informed arguments when it comes to this model and Tudor watches in general. Different market I guess.

[@martinjn2920]

Tudor for me, just think that it looks better than the Rolex, the price of ownership is less than 50% than that of the Rolex, the Tudor is a bit chunkier which I like and it tells the time just as well as the Rolex.

[@mannycalavera2335]

I don't love the bezel color, jubilee bracelet, or the cyclops on the Rolex. The Tudor is more elegant in design to me. But I do think it is too large.

[@Cityadventurers]

Great comparison.....all subjective but valid and love your detailed comparo.....

[@hansbults]

Thanks for your opinion, Liberace, but I don't think Tudor is your brand. Maybe look into fashion brands with zirkonia's and such.

[@WatchHobbyist]

I must do that 🤷‍♂️🤪

[@mathiashammar1]

Apparently its not much you like with the Tudor. The BB line is a heritage line. And seams your no fan of vintige inspired design? Another problems is that you are comparing a watch that cost 4000$ and not 20 000$, thats x5 the price. Next time pick something in the same pricerange and do a comparison. A fair comparison would be Eterna Konti line. Oris Divers 65, Longine heritage Legend diver. Doxa Sub 300, Zodia Sea-Wolf, Rado Captain Cook. Just a few ones. Yet another one when you comparing thicknes and weight. Tudor is rated to 200m WR. The Rolex only to 100m. So that also plays into the design of the watchcase and the thickness of the sapphire crystal.

[@WatchHobbyist]

You're just stating things I inferred in the review Matthias. I mentioned about the cost etc and the thickness of the crystal. Why does the Tudor NEED to be 200m WR? It's not a dive watch? Anyway, thank you for watching my review.

[@chi-city-living3871]

Hi there, so I have the same problem with the Tudor GMT bracelet sizing. Can you please tell me or show me how you got the link off on the bottom side?

[@WatchHobbyist]

Apologies for the delay but I now have a video showing this if you check my latest videos out.

[@ahsanawan9473]

Thanks for the review, as always very detailed. I own a Rolex 116710LN so understand some of your reservations but at less than half the cost (retail) of a Rolex is it really that disappointing?

[@WatchHobbyist]

To me, yes. It’s a gmt watch with dive watch proportions and weight

[@AZAHAZA]

Agree with everyone who says Rolex is too busy and the Tudors simplicity and nostalgic homage to the old Rolex Pepsi works . The weight and size of the Tudor has an impressive heft .i have both Tudor gmt .and Rolex Pepsi gmt .The Tudor is a runaway winner.You can pick up the Tudor second hand. For £2.4k and the Rolex Pepsi £15k At least second hand .Tudor wins all day long

[@wheelsandwatches]

Perfect review. Excellent. Wears like a 13mm thick watch. The issue seems to be the thickness ratio. The GMT carries the thickness in the case and the bezel is very thin. The Rolex has more even thickness with the case and bezel.

[@westmiguelvaldes]

Not good comparaison. The Tudor gmt is not a competition to the Rolex gmt. Each is for different markets and different uses. I have both and they are excellent both. No one is "better", just different and for different uses.

[@kickkid29]

I appreciate you making this video. I'm going to have to disagree with your overall conclusion. I try to consider the original intention for these timepieces when making a purchase. The GMT's were designed for pilots. Which watch would you rather have in the cockpit? As an airline pilot myself, your review helped concrete my conclusion that the Tudor was the better watch for the mission. The Rolex is no longer a tool watch...

[@WatchHobbyist]

From a tool watch point of view, the Tudor is probably better, but its sheer size kills it for me. As a pilot, I'm sure you're aware of many other GMT options including the very light and thin Aerospace from Breitling etc. I am not a pilot of course, but I would imagine that the Tudor with its size and weight would start to give wrist-ache on a long flight. The Tudor should have been fitted with the BB58 case. Then you have the ultimate modern GMT.

[@kickkid29]

Very true, there are many options for GMT's. The new bell&ross particularly looks interesting, as well as many offerings from glycine and Breitling. Great review and thanks for taking the time to go through this.

[@davidb9531]

The colours of the Rolex are garish and not refined at all, there is a great smooth transition between the burgundy and the blue in the Tudor that just works. The Cyclops has and always will break up any symmetry on a dial and is plain ugly, I'm sure the fit and finish is better on the rolex but for the price of the Rolex you could have the Tudor GMT, the BB58 and still have change for a nice dress watch

[@Brizzy-ul3gy]

As with previous comment if the case was thinner it would be great but it's just a bog standard black bay with a gmt hand and bezel and I'm a Tudor fan just does not stand out on its own.

[@WatchHobbyist]

Completely agree

[@neilfowler3284]

For the lug-to-lug measurement, I think it would be more fair to include the end links. I think the solid end links on the Rolex stick out a bit more.

[@WatchHobbyist]

Even if they did, the Rolex has a much lower profile which really helps with he way it wears.

[@tomasabella452]

Excuse me. Do you wear your watches with the stickers on the sides? Or you just collect them?

[@WatchHobbyist]

The Tudor movement is having a lot of issues, which goes against your argument.

[@smr144]

The colors of the Tudor's dial are so low profile and mature. Rolex's scream for attention. BTW, 200m vs 100m is a pro, not a con for the Tudor. I just don't think the Rolex is $5,350 better than the Tudor... I would buy the Tudor just for the snowflake gmt hand.

[@WatchHobbyist]

200M would suggest it's a dive watch, but it isn't, it's a GMT watch. GMT watches generally have 100-200m WR as that's all that would generally be necessary.

[@niniengineering]

I love tudors hands too. Why nobody notice that the Rolex hands are always to small/short!

[@BobBoyd1]

I'll take the overall tool watch design and overall looks of the Tudor. As of the 6 digit references, Rolex (while an excellent watch mechanically) has pushed into looking more like attention-seeking jewelry to me. The Subs and GMTs prior to the 6 digits are classics. But the oversized bezel fonts, the polished ceramic of the current series, oversized markers... none of it is to my taste personally​. But that's just my 2 cents.

[@WatchHobbyist]

All very good points Bob. I just wish the Tudor wasn't so thick! In the BB58 case it would have been perfection.

[@MrBrianc1975]

Great review. The Tudor- you can see too much of the inner rehaut from a straight on view. Should have been 39mm and thinner. Dial isn't black enough. Great value though. The GMT master - love it, an icon, wish they'd never made it white gold so that the latest version could be available in jubilee or oyster. Kinda like how Rolex are finally taking design aspects from vintage pieces, something they never used to do.

[@WatchHobbyist]

Yeah I agree, there’s definitely been a design shift

[@Boombatty]

I think your review should of come from a different angle. Review the watch and it’s short comings against the Rolex but keep in mind the price difference. Then ask what other watches come close to the Tudor for the same price. They are sister companies so there has to be a difference or they’d be the same watch. Tudor have 5 year warranty and 10 year service intervals. I think they are amazing watches and value. Compare them to a Tag with eta movements for the same money and there’s no comparison.

[@lugirlipmeyrick3351]

[@chronostasis7458]

Great review once again, keep up the insightful vlogs. Thoughts on this watch are that I’d still wear it, The issue with the date wheel seems a bit of a worry, though I’d expect Tudor to address this quickly in their quality control. The 2 other watches sitting quietly in the background were stealing the show. Add the Batman and the lovely new Root Beer 2T and you have it made!!!!

As you have stated, this is your opinion. Respect for that. I am wondering why you even thought about the Tudor? Every positive statement that you make, is followed by 'but', which negated the statement. Tudor doesn't want a Rolex, so they made the watch they wanted to make. The relationship between Tudor and Rolex is simply a relationship. It is not identical. You clearly are up Rolex Fanboy, no disrespect intended mate, so stick with Rolex. Tudor is geared to a different clientele. They're taking chances, and want to be the watch of the people who want something different. The fact that they experiment, is what makes them so admired. I happen to own a Black Bay Harrods, and a Pepsi. Two totally different watches worn at different times. I like the fact that they are not so similar. (Not talking about the colour or the GMT function. Size and style) It allows me to put on a different watch at different times. This is not an attack on you make, and it's not meant as such. Your comparison just seems to be very biased. Cheers.

Watch Hobbyist Fair enough, I think you can 100% tell the GMT is bigger than the BB58 by looking at website previews of both watches, maybe by just looking at them on the Tudor website it might be more difficult to tell
