I have a Tudor Opaline GMT and a BLNR on jubilee. I love both but they are different for sure. The Tudor is “chunkier” at 41mm and thick, but the chamfered case edges draw me in. Rolex bracelets are head and shoulders above in comfort and finish;
No contest there. I like the subdued aluminum bezel on my Tudor, but when I want to show off a bit and want people to know I’m wearing a Rolex the ceramic bezel on the BLNR catches light across the room. The BLNR is my most complimented watch even though I maybe wear it once a week at most. I think they both have a place in the collection, but for $4k-ish the Tudor is one hell of a watch. I still think a Rolex GMT at retail is worth every dollar; at market pricing a little less-so.

I agree with the previous comment the Tudor won’t “scratch the itch” or replace a Rolex, but they are both super cool in their own ways.
