Very well presented IDGuy as usual. As an LHD owner I like the parchment lume and hands, I also appreciate that Tudor have kept the snowflake seconds hand on a new release, I'm not a fan of the lollipop on the other recent releases but it's not a show stopper. It's a tough one to decide which watches would be in my collection starting again as we now have hindsight of seeing and trying different releases over time but if I were to choose a GMT from a watch that is currently in production this would be a worthy contestant. Looking at discontinued GMT watches I would still go with my Omega 231.90.43.22.04.001 that is more versatile in my humble (and biased somewhat) opinion but I dare not think what it would cost new in todays money. Many thanks for sharing.

Your version is excellent. I imagine that a carbon composite case, is only a CNC machine away? The Pelagos is the absolute best watch available. The original has beautiful titanium which marks, but bizarrely self heals. The strap is simply the best available. The FXD MN are fabulous relaxing weekend watches, and the FXD Red Bull, is so light, that you really forget you're wearing a watch. Why is it that Tudor designs such perfect watches? It must be a really well run company. I congratulate the staff. Thankyou.

Absolutely, No Explanation Required regarding the FXD line. Seeing this GMT and its design has me hooked even more on the FXD/Pelagos variants. I will enjoy the opportunity to see it in all its Titanium glory at some point in the future. It being METAS is the icing on the cake. Regarding your closing comments, totally agree the new Omega FOIS and the FXD GMT added to my P39 would be a perfect three-watch collection. With these, there is no longer a need IMHO to chase the R-Crown.

We all know Rolex is a well made watch, but there are many well made watches, there has always been well made watches.

Having owned multiple modern Tudors over the years including 5 different model types, the FXD platform is by far my favorite even over my second fav, the Pelagos LHD - it truly is a special watch imo - the only issue that I think is worthy of discussion is part of makes this watch so perfect: the fixed bars. If you are looking for a versatile watch, do not like nato/parachute/single pass straps, have small wrists or need something that you can dress up then this is not a good choice. But if this is not your only watch or you simply only desire a rugged tool watch then the FXD should be one you should check out it the metal - it is super legible, super light and comfortable, super tough, very accurate, has superior bezel action and lume, great case proportions - this is the epitome of a modern tool watch. I adore the FXD and I fully intend on adding this new GMT model while keeping my current FXD Diver Black in my own collection. ps: Love your content - even when my opinions differ, you always are thoughtful and insightful.

@scollyutube21 күн бұрын
Agree with your points. I'm disappointed with the pin buckle strap and its longevity, and also as you stated the loss of the Pelegos fantastic black and white contrast that the block indicies and hands create. I was hoping you were going to render a straight black and white (or blue) FXD GMT on their velcro straps......Those would be very tempting. I also think a Pelegos 39mm with this movement, matt black or blue with white indices, date, and red or orange GMT hand would be a smash hit and appeal to the majority. We get the titanium bracelet, smaller form factor and then strap choice too, a no brainer perfect holiday all purpose watch. I would definitely buy one.

For me, this is a better Explorer II alternative than the black bay pro, despite the obvious similarities between the explorer and the pro. The visually slimmer case (not sure if it’s actually slimmer than the pro) and military aesthetic are right up my street.

And to think I’ve been looking the Exp2 so much over the past few months… seeing my FXD now with a GMT complication… ah, it’s too good! 🥃

I'm interested by this watch, I've nearly pulled the trigger a few times, on the black version, maybe this one will do it.

Bezel too busy, dunno whether the strap would hold up over time, like the black version more under the radar , I think the next pelagos update might be worth the wait

Love to see some mock ups with different straps

AMZWATCH has set a new standard for replica watches. Their craftsmanship is impeccable. Its hard to tell the difference from the originals

The FXD really has to be owned to understand, it's light, thin, strap it on and go, I have a MN 24 and a with all great pieces it just makes you sell a bunch cos nothing else gets wrist time

Hear hear David! It's absolutely brilliant... been my "beater" from day one, is my running watch, workout watch, dive watch and everything in between. Ah, it's gold 🥃

So so surprised the FXD line is getting so much attention from Tudor. They must have some mega market data showing it’s a top seller, which surprises me given the fixed lug case/no bracelet option. Not what I would have ever assumed would be popular with the masses

And here I’m thinking the FXD line is drowning (ba-dum-bump) and they’re doing anything they can to drum up the interest? Either way… I’d hold all of their inventory if they’d let me 🤣🥃

@ID-Guy super interesting situation with the line. 5 variations across 3-4 years.. I don’t think any watch brand/model can match that, and with such specific ties and influences, very strange.
