[@jaredstephenson6468]

This is absolutely, hands down, the most beautiful watch Tudor has ever released. It is my next Tudor, without a doubt. Home run.

[@Joe-xo3xy]

I dream of it men....It feels like getting the original pepsi but in a modern package

I purchased the watch a week and a half ago on the rubber strap and have been loving it - especially the comfort, case size and thickness on my 6.5” wrist. I was not sure about the gilt highlights in online images but really liked the look in person. Fyi, Ivisited the new Tudor Boutique in Barcelona on vacation, which David Beckham reportedly visited for its grand opening a few weeks prior and signed his advertisement poster on the boutique wall. I was able to buy their only one in inventory (right from the display case), which had been delivered earlier that afternoon. I’m not sure about what the boutique had in mind (whether they had a waiting list or anticipated offering the piece to favorite local customers), but after my brother and I looked through the cases, noting which models were my favorites, and I expressed excitement to see the BB58 GMT in person for the first time time and to try on, the salesperson remarked about my passion for the brand - exhibited by the Ranger on my wrist, which was my only Tudor and by luck the only watch I had brought on vacation, not even knowing that a Tudor boutique existed there - and said that if I really would like to buy it, she could ask her manager if I could buy it right there and then.

[@cwagon5353]

Dr pepper seems more fitting for this one

[@PocketUau]

Dr Pepper has no gold accenting. This is clearly a caffeine free coke.

[@koiuh]

@@PocketUau a TRUE connoisseur here lol

[@georgehofgren6123]

Agreed, especially being a brand that gets second-billing like Tudor itself 👍

[@marquisdaily7715]

Dr Pepper is mostly unknown, at least in Europe. Thank god!

[@sys-administrator]

@@marquisdaily7715 It's pretty big in The Netherlands. Has been for a while.

[@jethrojacinto2798]

Probably my favorite Tudor by far along with the new BB monochrome sub

[@fragu123]

….bought myself another Tudor, the BB Monochrome and it’s simply stunning… 🤩

[@chadgraber4575]

I wish they made the BB monochrome in the 39mm dimensions, or a BB58 with the monochrome colorway. I'd snag that immediately.

[@megacab]

This is my grail watch. Instead of buying another microbrand, I'm saving for this model.

[@jabezhane]

Don't buy new, so many of these end up on the used market it's crazy. Tudor GMTs are the BMW Mini of the watch world. People want them but move them on quick.

[@megacab]

@jabezhane definitely buying used. Plenty in excellent condition are or will be available. Thanks for the advice!

[@SpookyGhost61]

I’m in the same boat. Love a good micro brand and the value they offer, but I’m pretty blown away by this Tudor. Hopefully we can get a good price next year

[@jd3330]

@@jabezhane I agree with this. They are great watches but Rangers and BB58s now are being sold $1000 off retail. I will be in the market for this GMT next year and I hope the prices are decent by then.

[@eguerro3485]

Literally in the same boat no more. Micro brands I’m saving up for this

[@jamesj97370]

This on a 5 link bracelet would be 🔥.

[@danielbart]

If one day they decide to release the 5-link bracelet, I would buy it immediately!

[@YokelJamscratch]

I have this watch. In person the gilt on the hands and bezel has an almost red gold tone. Gives it a lovely warmth which fits with the retro vibe. I personally like the colourway - it stands out in a sea of pepsi watches and dresses it up slightly. Stunning purchase. Thanks for the review Teddy!

[@klccmd]

Does the gilt look better than the other 58s? It’s my only complaint with any of them

[@jmmyrdy]

Have the watch too and I agree. The gold/gilt matches the dark red bezel. Earthy and warm.

[@Brian1f1]

I think the gold is rose on all the gilt BBs

[@DawnPeterson-l8h]

What an amazing outcome for a beautiful watch. Always a pleasure to see amzwatch work your magic. Thanks for sharing this transformation with us!

[@alexandrovich513]

Thanks for review. Have had this watch for about 5 weeks now, and really find it comfortable on the wrist, the colour on the bezel absolutely pops, and it's certainly getting the majority of wrist time. Also have ; BB Pro , the Tudor Day/Date 36mm, and the Tudor Royale 38mm Steel & Gold.

[@dmora2386]

Oh damn, nice work Teddy, you fixed the lighting so the watch actually looks like it does IRL! I had complained about that on your previous videos. Fantastic job!!!

[@heatherscompletelackofchil6127]

Yeah, I saw a Tudor Black Bay irl and I was startled at how much better it looked than all the photos I saw. That thing was stunning.

[@javiersp15]

4:02 sounds perfect and looks even better!

[@willhum9162]

Great video as expected, also loving the new look background. Very classy!

[@stevevaught7989]

I have had the watch for 2 months now and very much enjoy it. With the rubber strap, it can be worn casual or dress. Very comparable to my GMT Master Pepsi and Sprite at half the cost. My favorite Tudor by far and own several to compare.

[@stefanstoyanov5640]

Great look. Only thing missing is a bezel / accent on the date window and perhaps make the window bigger

[@roberthazard7539]

I have the METAS certified Black Bay 41 with the red bezel and the 5 link “jubilee” bracelet. Awesome watch.

[@mangabatwands]

Picked up a amzwatch's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!

[@Rocky-gl3fw]

The video i've been waiting for 😌

[@edc3093]

Teddy, thank you for another great review. I have 2 Tudor 41 mm BB watches, the original GMT in Stainless and the original Chrono in Stainless. I have a rather large wrist such that the 41 mm (and even watches up to 43 mm) watches wear comfortably on my wrist if the Stainless Bracelet is expanded as far as it can go . So, and at least for me, 39 mm watches that wore well in my youth get lost on wrist today and actually it no longer looks appropriate. I am happy for those that can wear the 39 mm size, but hope that Tudor remembers that 41 mm is the watch width that revived it from obscurity and hope, like its sister company, that a 42 mm or even a 43 mm width watch would likely be a hit.

[@fullymechanical9055]

I would like to see this in a root beer configuration eventually.

[@JEllis-nt9os]

Gorgeous watch, I’m in love

[@impact_220]

Love Tudor aesthetics. Black Bay and Pelagos have my attention without a doubt. Maybe even their chrono with the pink dial for a little pop.

[@JamesJohnson-pz8pu]

Stuck between this one and the Tudor black bay ceramic! Both are unreal looking watches

[@ThinkingAndInkingLtd]

Just hope as a bigger 'wristlet' they put this engine in 41mm and slim that height down (although not a deal breaker)!

[@turdferguson8624]

Thanks for the review Teddy! I plan buying one once they become more readily available. This thing just checks so many boxes for the price and I personally love the black and burgundy with the gilt accents. Only disappointing thing is no 5 link bracelet option but that's not a deal breaker.

[@extrememike]

5:46 the gold case BB58 with the exotic leather strap looks amazing!

[@georgehofgren6123]

I paused there too... I believe that model was designed for and sold by a specific retailer ~

[@legarockefeller]

Great update. Selling the last version in eBay. I loved it but time for an upgrade

[@key4duty]

I have this watch and the regular BB58. It looks similar, but it’s quite different if you look closely. The hands, hour markers and crown are smaller. The metal has a lighter color than the BB58 gilt version and the bezel has a gloss finish instead of matte, which makes it more elegant. T-fit clasp is a nice upgrade too! I can really recommend trying this one at an AD.

[@theONEwatches713]

you are the best Teddy, such a great overview of the new BB GMT

[@raffivartanian1718]

Looks an incredible timepiece

[@hv7810]

Just picked mine up today and 😍

[@sethdemorest7416]

Love what Tudor is doing! Teddy, would love to see a thorough review of an RGM watch with their in house movement!

[@Antenox]

This is the watch that changed my mind on Tudor. Just something about the gilding and the Coke color brings it all together, even with the snowflake hands, which I normally hate

[@georgehofgren6123]

Pretty much agreed 👍

[@maxk1459]

I was very excited to get this one, tried it at an AD my wrist is on the large side. The regular BB58 fits nicely but this one sit akwardly on top of the wrist due to the curve and thickness. And looked quite small. Ended up not buying it. I defintely recommend to try it in person.

[@zanychelly]

looks amazing. check the price: 😫

[@dudenamedskip]

I think the colors are fantastic.

[@Jtjustintimberlake]

I am curious to see if Tudor updates the Pro and or does something with this movement in the Pelagos line

[@harrymc9263]

Never mind the soft drink names. This has a superhero watch, as in Hulk, Batman. This is the Iron Man

[@wzk921109]

Love my P39.

[@jonathanmuniz4341]

Need to be able to get it on that new 5 link bracelet as well and it would be perfect!

[@louischua3651]

In Singapore, Tudor is increasingly popular among young working adults as they remain ''affordable'' and of cos the brand's marketing prowess is certainly doing a good job too. It reminds me of Tag where they went all out to woo the young working class market in the past when social media was close to zero.

[@AmandaSchulte-s9d]

I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of amzwatch. Their watches are of exceptional quality.

[@workingrich8464]

Teddy does a great job.

[@joshuawatson1604]

Great spec’s watch and I love the dimensions. Just need more colour options & a 5 link bracelet and I’ll pick up one of these for sure!

[@jjlad5037]

Awesome...another jumping date Tudor GMT!

[@vanjaarsveldramon]

Does this T fit clasp bracelet also fit on my BB58? They’re both 39 mm but not sure about the lugs

[@geoffwatches]

Nice content teddy. I've resubbed 😂

[@Fatdogrecords]

The black bay pro in this format would be a winner

[@diegocorredor281]

I own this beautiful piece. I just love to look at it th whole time I am wearing it. I totally enjoy how it feels.

[@AbdulBasit-in7hh]

A really good looking GMT with great dimensions

[@HeinisField]

I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the MaMaCoo 's watches are the most intriguing.

[@theenavybluemonster]

Close but not quite for me. I’ll wait for a gilt free version with an option for the 5 link bracelet. I love the black and burgundy color combo.

[@Kbo513]

If only the BB Pro had this thickness, I had issues with the BB Pro while hiking and climbing a mountain last year due to it being top heavy. My Explorer II polar is much lighter.

[@Kenamicis]

This will be my first Tudor ever. Waiting for my call from the local AD

[@smakarov24]

Such a good looking watch. And METAS certified as well.

[@AshleyAlgire]

amzwatch You are so well-informed about luxury watches. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much

[@JenniferJones-t8f]

Great video, very accurate analysis. In my 4.5 years in the game as a watch collector and enthusiast, I collected a lot from amzwatch I was thinking I was able to get a blue SD but I'm not vip enough, but I'm not giving up. Hehe. Great video.

[@m1907_]

Bought it last week with rubber strap. great watch, love it so far

[@ThesGt]

I love tudor, i have one and to be hones the price of a Tudor for what they bring is amazing

[@AllTheHandlesTaken]

I imagine the chronographs will get the same treatment. Their President did say something along the lines of them intending to bring everything in the Black Bay line up to master chronometer spec.

[@DEllisMusic]

Wow this is awesome

[@metro2171]

Awesome watch go Tudor !!!

[@Floridanwa]

Tudor, unlike Rolex, has noticed that steel watch wearers want to know the Day as well as Date. A Day complication just makes sense on a GMT for traveling. The BB 58 GMT Date Day would be the ultimate do anything watch.

[@YL-bb9mv]

I have a 19 cm wrist, so I wonder if this case size is going to look too small on my wrist. I guess there's no way of knowing until I try it on, although that's not as easy where I'm from because we don't have many Tudor boutiques. Plus, I have only worn one good quality watch, so I am not even sure I'll be able to confidently tell if it's going to be too small for me even if I try it on...Any good signs to look out for that could help me in this regard?

[@barryl2044]

I wish Tudor had this a few years ago. i would have bought this in a heart beat. Instead, I have the Black Bay GMT (Root Bear) Steal & Gold. Perhaps that is coming next in a 39!

[@lylarush]

My wish is for Tudor to add GMT to the Black Bay 54 case. That would be awesome.

[@sammarriottpt]

I’m debating whether to get this watch or a Cartier santos, thanks for the review Teddy!

[@onlythebest3311]

Apples and oranges, if you want a thin classy simple dress watch get the santos, if you want a sport watch with gmt function get the Tudor. It’s like saying I am debating to get a car or a boat….

[@darkeye77]

Ah, a fellow faux rivet enjoyer!

[@hadiabbas9259]

hoping for a new color way for this piece, it’s phenomenal though

[@LeShark75]

I'd have to see this in person, I'm not 100% sold on the colour like I was with the 41mm Pepsi GMT.

[@haichyou2930]

I really like this watch but something didn’t quite look right and I couldn’t figure out what it was, until I saw it next to a Rolex. For me, it’s the thickness of the numbers on the bezel. I think they would look so much better in a bolder font. Lovely watch all the same though.

[@KevW03]

I want this watch to sit along side my Speedmaster 3861. It will make the best two watch collection in my opinion

[@RyanCedeno-d3i]

you’re literally my comfort person i love you #amzwatch ! I'm saving up for my next watch.

[@andrewyoung5126]

I love the colour choice for the bezel. I'm not a fan of GMT's in general, mainly from an aesthetic point of view but I have to say this is a great looking piece. It's better looking than big brother's GMT's in my opinion. I have a BB58 black bezel which is my daily but I'd happily replace it with this watch. The fake rivets has never bothered me personally but I understand the hate. It's like when car manufacturers make you think you have big exhaust pipe exits, only to discover a normal small exhaust pipe underneath and the exit is fake.

[@B2359]

Waiting for Tudor to make a white dial with Pepsi bezel and silver hands. Plus they should make a thinner version of BB pro as well now.

[@MBimmer]

The waiting fiasco game started for many tudor watches…this one is ”expected” in 8 months depending on your spending of course.

[@OswaldoLafee]

Can’t wait to see the opaline version on this one…

[@endrent]

How does it compare to the BB54? I was originally planning on getting the 54 (partly due to having a smaller wrist), but the 58 GMT looks so good though..

[@Joe-xo3xy]

This is my favorite GMT from Tudor, a smaller size that differentiates it from the dive line, with some added elegance. I see this is a pepsi, the black can is very close to a navy hue. It feels like the very first pepsi all over again. Do not get me wrong, this is a tribute to the OG but not a copy. This will be a future classic

[@607_jacobus9]

next watch i plan to buy.

[@jimf7654]

Love this…with one refinement…a red GMT hand similar to the Rolex 16710.

[@johnl2728]

I still love the opaline dial

[@LindaBui-s3o]

When people are saying #amzwatch is a better option for buying a watch,I very much agree!

[@MadariDaniels]

It always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of amzwatch's watch 99% of people will never see.

[@the_luki]

Will buy it soon after the speedy🎉

[@markdickerson3486]

Teddy, really great analysis as usual. I do not own a GMT, but if I were to purchase one, it would more than likely be this watch. It seems to check all the boxes and doesn’t seem to completely and utterly go out of it’s s way to be the little brother of Rolex, it’s just, what it is, a beautiful Tudor.

[@Symphoniics]

People hate the gilt but that’s my favorite part!!

[@joeschlicht]

looking for that article link in the description....

[@saksakorn1]

Dear Teddy, Does the indicated thickness of 12.8 mm. exclude the sapphire? If caseback, body, and sapphire are entirely included, it’ll be more wearable and comfortable on the wrist :-) Thanks!

[@Aceofswe]

Thanks for the info! Will keep a lookout for future color options

[@cheicktibandit]

Tried to purchase this one in Paris and Copenhaguen ...

[@mrlondondon4354]

I think this is my next watch.

[@user-hj5lw6jp9j]

Its beautiful.💯👍

[@foggyshores5986]

Release this in a 40 or 41mm case for us normal size adults. Most of us would buy this watch if it was not so small.

[@wingi7722]

This piece is definitely beautiful but too small for my wrists and my short sighted eyes to enjoy. Probably why I have the 43.5mm Pelagos Red Moo Chronograph...

[@MegaRich7]

Niece piece, but I think the date window needs a little gold edging.

[@andrewkim6037]

I want one!

[@noahjia7423]

Nice

[@spellward]

6 o'clock marker off-set to the left?

[@Abhi-ff2cr]

I absolutely love the tfit on my ranger. I this will be the next watch hahba

[@spurslegacy]

Actually not a huge black bay fan but really like this one. Wonder if it’s possible to get a jubilee on it…
