I like the leather straps that are some what cordovan colored. I think they look retro and match well with the bezel.

I like that strap too, looks good in your photo. I tried to buy one from Tudor for mine, but they don’t make them anymore so I keep mine on the bracelet. Thanks for your thoughts.

Had one on a Jubilee but didn't feel it sat right on my 6.5" wrist. Tudor (Rolex) if your listening: 39/13mm GMT + Pepsi bezel + Opaline Dial + 5 Link bracelet (Jubilee) = Homerun.

I'm sure Tudor knows this. Hopefully releasing coke version first was a set up for a future surprise.

I bought one because I knew that it would be near impossible for me to get the Pepsi from an AD. This was a good substitute. I do still want a Pepsi, but ever since I got my Batgirl back in January, I am satisfied for now.

The Tudor GMT was my first Tudor and first GMT. Unfortunately, it doesn't get the wrist time that it deserves.

Kudos on the post OP!

Reminds me of what Rolex used to be it. The only caveat being it’s height. If you’re ok with being top heavy, I agree it’s a phenomenal value. I still prefer it to the other entry level flyer GMT’s that have been introduced in the last few years.

A watch most people ignore by now

Great reference but a bit big for my wrist so I went for his younger brother and he has become my daily wearer!

I really enjoy mine! Always a refreshing change after a long stretch with the SD43.

I love Tudors, but the GMT never did it for me.

I see Dan posting his, and I'm like WOW that’s beautiful! And then I see other people posting theirs and I realise it's a watch I don't realluy want or need.

@Dan Pierce , what camera do you use for these BB GMT shots? I've never seen the colours pop so much on this particular watch!

Nothing more than a iPhone. As my good friend Jocke taught me a long time ago, it ain't the camera, it's the photographer.

When the BB GMT was released I thought Tudor got the bezel colors wrong. And being colorblind I thought the muted colors would look black or non distinguishable. In fact, I'm always happily surprised how much the Pepsi colors pop. Lighting, natural especially, certainly helps w/ photographs as well.
