Britt - the Black Bay GMT is my favorite timepiece in the Tudor line-up. As a former military officer who’s crossed many time zones, this is my do-everything watch, and is my daily wear. “S” tier, baby!

[@cookingwithwatches]

I agreed 💯

[@hankyang]

Agree, S tier form an BB GMT owner

[@JStryker7]

Nah, it’s a brick

[@tueybooo]

I love the GMT but my 6" wrist means I don't have access to amazing watches like that :/

[@user-es8vw7yz3f]

I'm team @KRaz2002 on this one. Love my BB GMT.

[@L.A.Bustamante]

Pauses video. Runs downstairs to get a drink. Runs back upstairs. Britt, I needed this. As a Tudor Fan Boy who can’t decided on which one to buy next… thank you. I was recently invited to a Tudor event here in Southern California, I can’t wait! I’ll post videos on my Instagram. Thanks again for this video!

Wow, excellent video. This was a lot of work, well done! Tudor rules, BB 58 is the game changer and tier watch. 😎👌

Love the video! Great content!

The BB burgundy was the one that got me obsessed with watches

Great video. It really helped me.

Tudor just making makes amazing watches. I have the 54, GMT and the Black face Chronograph. Thanks to you, now I have to have the Pelagos. This channel is costing me money now😊 Thanks

[@frankmirandosr875]

Great video, I love Tudor, Have 3 of them in my 44 watch Collection Black Bay GMT with Black Dial, Blue Pelagos 42 and I have the Fastrider with Red Dial , each One is Special to me, the GMT gets the most Wrist Time. Thanks for All you do for us Watch Enthusiasts!!

[@emiliezc]

I have a 32mm BB black dial and 26mm tudor clair de rose with diamonds and love them both!!! thank you for including the clair de rose in your video, pretty fun to see that model get a little love :)

[@kennethfox6271]

I just picked up a Tudor 1926 41mm, yesterday. Absolutely love it. Will be my daily wear to the office.

[@pb123996]

I have the same watch, but I wish I chose a smaller size. Wrist Size 7 1\4". But still a lovely Watch.

[@ChisKH]

After experiencing most of the Tudor above, my S tier & top favourite will be also the pelagos 42 ❤ just too much to love

[@sofyankh82]

Great episode ❤🎉

Royal underrated again. Tudors most original design up to date and ill take a sellita over inhouse anyday, especially when its service time.

[@edwintreffers]

I love these kind of videos 🙂 and nice editing on this one !! The BB Chrono has to move one up to S tier though, that's an almost perfect watch for me... and the GMT, that is a great watch but not the version with the white dial, it just looks NOT OK at all in my humble opinion, but the GMT S&G version looks perfect !! But... pretty much spot on with the rankings Britt 🥳

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Bahaha - I love MAKING these style of videos! It's nice just to kick back and have a bit of FUN every once and a while!

[@JasonReilly-up6jj]

Love the rankings

[@verynormalman]

Thx for the vid. I absolutely love my Pelagos. It's so understated. You can really wear this anywhere. Never gets any attention. If you buy a watch, for the way the watch is, and your relationship with it (rather than to show it off to people and gain glory from it's reflection), then please try a Pelagos. The titanium strap is a wonder.

[@delonteeast7955]

Awesome videos! Would love it if you release one of these "ranking everyone watch from one brand" every month! Omega and Longines up next! Those would be even longer videos 😂

[@austinzizzi1142]

54 is definitely S tier. It’s their best watch

[@acknasty]

It’s sooooo boring. The 58 with the subtle pops of color kicks its ass and takes its lunch money. It isn’t close.

[@austinzizzi1142]

@@acknasty the 54 is historically accurate the 58 is a wanna be. Tell how the hell gilt numbers on the bezel make any sense?

[@kevinpriestly324]

Hi Britt I love your videos , I'm a bit of a Tudor fan boy I own 3,... the Tudor north flag ,the blackbay blue 41 and the P01 I love them all ,and watchs are very subjective what you love I do not and vice versa keep up the great content

[@davidinda5922]

The Northflag is so amazing, love mine. Happy to find some owners around

[@alvinmick218]

Excellent video! You were exactly spot on about Tudor leaning into the Black Bay line. Yes they are fine watches but please give us something besides Black Bay! Tudor has such a rich heritage from which to draw inspiration.

[@davidstjohn7943]

Honestly impressed by anyone who can tell Tudors apart. There's the Pelagos and the Ranger - the two interesting Tudors (plus that weird one, the P01, which is great but basically an anomaly) - and then there's just this Black Bay Blob of barely differentiated tedium. Great video though!

[@Josue-411]

You are such a ray of sunshine. You dislike Tudor yet spent 19 minutes watching a video ranking Tudor watches. That would put me in a sour mood as well.

[@e.m7116]

Definitely good watches, but it must be quite depressing for anyone with a creative mind/spirit to work for them. Honestly, they make even Rolex look original and daring.. Hope they’ll branch out a bit - if Rolex will let them?

[@BigBirdKOD]

🚨hmm no Tudor North flag ..

[@maverick4177]

I have a BB S&G GMT and it’s a phenomenal watch👍🏻

[@jimlittle5769]

I MUCH prefer the Pelagos 39 to the original. The original Pelagos is 14.4mm thick, almost 3mm thicker than the 39, and 3 mm longer than the 39. I prefer the bracelet as well. It's the best Tudor IMO. Winner of the 2023 Sports Watch of the Year.

[@h.b.st-pierre2520]

Thank you mademoiselle for this ranking. I agree with pretty much everything you've said. Strangely enough I purchased and received my first Tudor only 3 days ago. I love watches that have simple and well balanced designs. No surprises my 39mm Explorer still is among my favorite watches seven years after I bought it. No wonder when I saw its steampunk version in the Tudor lineup I had to own one. I wish you would of featured the BB58 bronze 39mm with bronze bracelet in your video. Not only a boutique exclusive, so different than all the other BB58. With the T-fit d'ajustement it sure gets nous points. Maybe later in a video about the market offerings in bronze. The warm tones for everyday and rough play. Thank you and hello from Canada, Hugues

[@justingalore123]

I put it to you the FXD is also S tier. It’s the perfect desk divers watch. It’s the best wearing 42mm on tiny wrists out there. It seems like when someone gets one the rest of the collection ends up getting neglected cos they just can’t get it off their wrists.

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Came here to say exactly the FXD definitely S tier BABEE

[@Lockeness86]

Real fans know the original FXD is S Tier

[@adityasanthanam1945]

I quite like the Royal. I think it looks great, inspired by the Oysterquartz. The bezel is neat and I love how the two tone one with chocolate brown dial looks. I also like the Black Bay watches with gilt dials. The Glamour is also a good-looking watch that I prefer the look of over the 1926.

[@swilli211]

I Can't wait to get my Black Bay Panda Chrono later this year!!

[@watchboxer]

well done,such a rich list of collections

[@YoRHa_2E]

Hey Britt, I think if you reversed the rating order then you'd have this spot on - the P01 and Glamour models far outshine the exhaustive BB and Pelagos ranges Perhaps if the video reached 20 minutes long you might've corrected the error 😉

[@MiataBRG]

Good work! You put my plain old 36mm in the s tier :)

[@watch_girl_life]

Cool video Britt. Have to agree with your choices. I do love reading the comments 🍿. Bring on April. I can’t wait to see what’s next for Tudor.

[@pedromanuellopez142]

Great ranking Britt. One quibble, after looking at the P39 up close this week: why not put it between S and A? It looks beefier than I expected, and yes, the blue will be a run away hit when it comes out, if they don't present a green version first, just to fry us.

[@stinklpups]

The Pelagos is so nice! And it fits my GF‘s wrist and also mine due to the diver extension. I also have a Sub but I prefer the look of the Pelagos.

[@dannyg6592]

Fun video, Britt. I have a few different opinions. I put the iconic 58 in S tier and the fixed bezel BB in A tier. The BB41 Burgundy bezel/Jubilee is a legitimate Sub alternative, so it gets S tier. Pelagos FXD is also in the S tier. Cheers :)

[@coffeeortea547]

There's an OG Black Bay with a black dial and blue bezel that looks amazing

[@DrFernandoHidalgo]

Gringa Friday let’s goooooooooo 🙌🏻. Hope you and James have a fantastic weekend B 🙌🏻👍🏻🔥. Love love Tudor even though their lineup confuses me 😅

[@BrittPearceWatches]

[@Pal-us9uv]

Pelagos 39 in black is a glorious watch.

[@D76251]

Would love to see a review on the Clair De Rose! I’d like to get my daughter something along those lines no AD’s in my area carry them . I’m a self proclaimed Tudor fan boy and for the most part agree with the list. I have the 58, ranger and 1926. The ranger gets the most wrist time.

[@emiliezc]

I love the clair de rose! I recently picked up the 26mm, and it is very dainty. The lug to lug is ~32mm, and I wear the bracelet a little bigger so moves (and shines bc its totally polished) I personally think the charm is how small it is and think it's awesome that its automatic. I tried on the 34mm liked that size significantly less because I think the proportions look way better small. I have a 6in wrist so definitely not tiny compared to some women but think it still looks super pretty!

[@IVElmendorf]

I came from the unofficial WatchYourselfJorge's tier list to see how ya'll list compare haha ya'll vary very different I enjoyed the difference in opinions...thank you for ranking the Ranger higher haha

[@juzzyhunter6812]

Great ranking. Personally the FXD Pelagos and the new METAS BB41 are S tier.

[@nikhiliyer]

great video

[@JordanBWatchGuy]

I love the Tudor BB GMT! I want one, but as the time has gone on with me thinking about it, I'm holding back. I realize I'm waiting for it to get a new bracelet, and maybe even until they downsize the case, which I do think they will.

[@jamesbell24]

I absolutely love my burgundy on the 5 link. Every time I wear it it just feels special. But also love my Pelogos. 😊

[@gileswhitehead7437]

Britt, Great video. I have many watches, and a few Tudor. But in truth the only watch I would run into a burning house to save is my Tudor Ranger. But as you say watches are so personal.

[@user-pf5vk5vz8h]

S n' G.....in all my years of owning watches, following and watching countless videos I've never heard that term❤ An original!

[@ocean911]

Maybe try ranking watch leather or nylon straps and bracelets of the most popular type? I don't think I have ever seen a video on that in the utube watch space but I have not really looked for them either. I'm sure ppl would become more interested if the topic was raised cuz like me I never really considered aftermarket straps and bracelets. Its gold Jerry....GOLD!😄

[@petrmilota6398]

I believe Tudor BB58 Bronze boutique edition should be a stand alone mention as it was first one with T-clasp and ceramic pins :)

[@RicardoHawkes]

Coming from a fellow brit - this ranking is spot on Britt! (Although I'd put the Black Bay Chrono in S-tier also). Thanks for the amazing videos!

[@davidinda5922]

I am curious too

[@adriancox2786]

Their opaline Pepsi GMT has looked pretty stunning on my 8”wrist since Christmas (I know it’s 6542 pan am inspired, but I really with they’d used blue lume for that silvery dial & the t fit clasp is needed as you say)

[@frogsplorer]

Mostly agree except for the black bay chrono. A chrono needs thin hands that maximise the legibility of the sub-dials

[@stuartlloyd-jones9583]

Opaline GMT is beautiful. Bought one recently. GMT is essential to me, plus the dial is beautiful in the light. Sizing is large but if this was a larger guy ranking i think it would be ranked a little higher (yikes apologies). It is my go to daily.

[@WatchsNBoots]

Love this ranking, Tudor is one of my favourite watch brands! Britt when are you going to add grand seiko to your collection?! I’m still waiting for that day 🎉

[@BrittPearceWatches]

YOU KNOOOOW, I am so close to pulling the trigger on a GS! There's a few I really, really like! But I need to get in touch with the GS UK team to see if they'll send me some watches to review! >=]

[@astrostl]

Nice vid! GMT is a solid B IMO. Of the lineup it draws the most comparative fire to Rolex, and reasonably so. Chrono too for me. I would just push all A/Bs down to straight Bs.

[@bayflowshow65]

I appreciate the video. You’re right tho. I was getting annoyed with you by the 19th minute. And it didn’t help that I swapped my Longines Spirit Pilot watch with my BlackBay 41mm gilt dial mid lunchtime because of you. “METAS is dead ass💯🤙🏽”

[@watchman8817]

The Glamour with the date day is really much nicer than I remember. I'll have to check it out. Wonder if it has a Kinessi movement...hmm. Probably spelled Kinessi wrong...oh well.

[@samturnertimepieces]

Two Tudor tier videos in one day 😁i must be in heaven

[@Xaiyala]

Just watched Jorge’s too!

[@Gerryb92]

The Glamour is discontinued in the UK. Has been that way for some time now. Only keep it on the website because there’s new stock available in some foreign markets.

[@realfire6883]

The pelagos in my view is one of the best bang per buck tool watches on the market. I own the 42mm black version and its been my daily for the last 3.5 years. Super lightweight titanium and the clasp is the best in the business.

[@Hectorsdad]

Always good fun - thanks. It is very subjective of course. The obsession with 39mm (ladies size 😅) and smaller watches isn’t something I look for. I have an 8” wrist and own several Tudors including the P01 and accept the larger pieces don’t suit all.

[@WilliamInternational]

My black bay chronograph panda is accurate to plus 1 second every five days, it’s a keeper.

[@Valera_Scotland]

Britt I've gone off Tudor... reason? My 1861 Speedy. I'm in love with this watch. My only luxury watch and it's just the greatest... just saying... if anyone thinking of the new Speedy, I really recommend this older model. Tudor is okay... there is just nothing that really speaks to me.. maybe the FXD in blue... that's about it

[@BrittPearceWatches]

YOU KNOOOW, I really can't argue with this! Omega watchmaking is just NEXT LEVEL!

[@Andy5kp]

Love Tudor and this vid. I mostly agree with you Britt, but the BB Pro, GMT and Chrono have to be B tier for me. They are like a hockey puck on my wrist! If only they did them thinner one day 🤞

[@elihollingsworth6852]

My first luxury watch (two years ago) was a Tudor black bay 41 heritage with the red bezel on a leather strap. Still think that it is the most beautiful most aesthetic dive watch of all time.

[@Mirhan123]

Too OFFICIAL!! its really hard to RANK watch MODELS from a GOOD WATCH BRAND! cause some of the models are so similar and COOL at the same time, SO ITS ALWAYS CONFUSING!😅 can you do a SEIKO RANKING video, i think you didn't do that? and it would be super amazing and hard to do! cause they are a lot of wonderful watches! really enjoy yours and teddy's VIDEOS! APPRECIATE YOUR work and EFFORT! thanks for the amazing video WATCH GRINGA!!!

[@aslamc9288]

I’ve owned a lot of Tudors now, from the Black Bay blue bezel, to the Heritage Chrono, to the Ranger…and it’s the Black Bay GMT that’s the only one that’s stuck around, even though the Black Bay blue is the one that got me into the brand. So it’s definitely S tier for me. It’s also only 14.7mm thick, I believe, which makes a difference. Not the biggest one, but it’s noticeable compared to watches I’ve had that were 15mm proper.

Britt, you forgot the most beautiful of all - M79833MN-0003 BLACK BAY GMT S&G. This one is amaizing !!! Great video BTW :)

[@LukeZak]

KZbinrs and watch reviewers have been putting me off Tudor GMT for years. Almost all of them keep complaining how big and chunky it is. Because of that it took me 4 years to pull the trigger. I finally got it last year and it became by far the favorite watch in my collection. To the point I barely wear anything else. It's not too chunky, it's a perfectly proportional, beautiful watch. And it definitely deserves a higher rank :) If anything I would say BB Pro is not great cause it has thickness of GMT but much smaller case diameter which makes the proportions a bit off. BTW: Tudor Ranger is not a Rolex Explorer 1 equivalent, BB31/BB36/BB39/BB41 lineup is :)

[@joshuakaplan5726]

Glad to see my Pro in the A tier! I agree with the ranking. It would become an S if they could slim it down about and make it a tad lighter. But still sick piece though.

[@decluesviews2740]

Great explanation of why the Pelagos is so good; I still don’t like it. 😂 I guess I just prefer the round hour markers on the BB. (So cool that you’re a fellow theologian.)
