Tudor BB GMT pepsi

[AJB88]

I've never been a watch wearer but after inheriting my late fathers Rolex 36mm Oyster Perpetual Datejust the other month I have been wearing it everyday.

I decided I fancy another decent watch to go along with the Rolex (I have a few cheap watches like TW Steel etc) and was quite taken by either a Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra (James Bond Spectre edition) that I had seen 2nd hand or a Rolex Pepsi GMT (out of my price range).

While browsing the Rolex forum I came across the Tudor BB GMT Pepsi that is due for release in June 2018 and decided I want it, Have just come off the phone to Goldsmiths who said the store I called had 15 people on the list already for it but my name is on the list.

I'm 30 at the end of the year so decided should treat myself, I know this watch isn't that expensive compared to others but its 10x the price of my previous most expensive watch I have bought (TW Steel Cupra watch). I will try add an Omega to my collection before I'm 40 which gives me just under 11 years haha.



Anybody else on the list for one of these?

I'm new to watches but when I saw the GMT Master's I was like I need one of them, then this came along at £2700 new... Bargain in my opinion.

How many people buy a GMT and not use the GMT hand?

Probably me when I get it! all though I do travel a lot so will come in handy.

popped into watches of Switzerland in London yesterday asked on the off chance they might have a display one, of course they didn't. But they told me their order books are closed for it.

[AJB88]

Are you just on the list or did you deposit? I called Goldsmiths and they took a name/number/email and that was it.

Was expecting to be asked for a deposit.

[AJB88]

Had a small AD approach me, they are having 2 drops, 1 in June and 1 in July. They have said people on their list are guaranteed to get a watch (paying a deposit)

The larger AD who I'm on the list with, said out of the 18 on list, they only expect 2 watches.

[AJB88]

Can anybody confirm how links are taken out? usually I would get the AD to do it on collection but the AD I have paid a deposit with and had guaranteed July delivery is in Glasgow and I'm in MIlton Keynes.

are they screws or pins?

Screws, I did mine myself. Really, really carefully!

Same as my Omega then!

Goldsmiths MK certainly haven't got any in stock, I'm on there waiting list even though I'm on another list as well.

Just been into a dealer near to my clients office. They have every model except the pepsi. The sales guy was wearing one with the nato strap which he left me try on. I quite like it. They have a 2 year waiting list for the steel bracelet version. The leather and nato have no waiting list at all and so I will pop back in a few days when they have one in. I can then order the strap separately.

Wonder if some of these AD's are going to order ones without bracelet's and purchase the bracelets separately then sell them as bracelet versions.

Cant wait to get mine! I wish it had a cyclops though for some reason.

I am on a Goldsmiths list for the Tudor GMT i had to pay a £500 deposit, i am No. 5 on the list

My local Goldsmiths wouldn't take any deposits at all, store manager said 18 people on list and will probably get 2.

[AJB88]

Decided to chase mine today as not heard much, apparently the AD I ordered with had a total of 35 orders, There are 15 left to furfill of which I'm number 11.

Looks like July arrival ain't going to happen annoying as some UK AD's have them sat in the window with no buyers.

[AJB88]

Seen it on Rolex Forum, few guys have walked in and walked out without ordering. Think one of them was canary wharf.

[AJB88]

Yes although some people have walked in shops and found them unclaimed. My July delivery is still nowhere to be seen.

sorry for the crap photo, had mine for about 7 weeks now, was expecting it around December time so real bonus to get it so early, love this watch.

Looks good, KInda annoying if you were a December drop, I was July and still nothing.

[AJB88]

Don't think it will become collectible

I've been told mine would't be until October. Cancelled the order and switched to BB58 - still no stock but should be a matter of weeks, not months.

Wondering about doing this myself, the BB58 is more like the 6538 Rolex Submariner I desire.

What store?

[AJB88]

Chisolm Hunter have some BB 58 in stock according to their Instagram, that's who I have ordered the BB GMT through.

[AJB88]

Glasgow Argyle Street I think. Done it all through the internet.
