Is anybody else getting one? When the images came out of Baselworld and the subsequent reviews I thought they looked fantastic. I'm on the list with my local AD for one on the leather strap with bund. I'm not a fan of bi-metal bracelets and couldn't justify the extra cost for what will be a casual watch for me.

I think tudor makes some nice and understated watches... but these are not my cup of tea.

On the list? For a Tudor? The madness is getting madder.

You may be right, but I was one of the first to receive a Pepsi GMT last year while others on the forum reported waiting months.

Baselworld releases don't start coming through for a few months after the show, sometimes as much as six. If you want one you can't buy one immediately.

Not sure about the bunted option but I don't really like them anyways but I think this is Tudor's best chrono for years. Agree on bi-metal bracelets but the watch and dial are stunning-good choice.

I have the original. Nice watch if a little chunky compared with some of my others now.



I will reserve judgement on the S&G until I see one. Surprised there would be a wait list though.

That on the other hand, looks great!

If you just hold your phone or iPad farther away it doesn’t look as big.

They have 3 S&G watches in the window in Goldsmiths on Victoria St - they're actually really rather nice. I was surprised how much I liked them, though I won't be cancelling my BB GMT order.

I really like this but having just received my GMT I may wait a bit (and no doubt end up at the back of another list!)

I was expecting the call from my AD today, but nothing so far.

Has anyone got their hands on one yet? I dropped off my GMT at my AD for the date issue and they said they're expecting delivery by the end of the month.

Tried one on the other day if it helps make a decision.

I collected mine yesterday and I'm absolutely smitten. It's a really lovely piece with lots of great details. The only thing I would like to be different is the clasp in gold rather than steel.

That’s lovely. Is it leather or a neoprene mix - looks the latter in the Baselworld pics but the former in the above?

It's distressed leather. No neoprene. My AD has only had a handful and reports Tudor are talking of only one more for them this year. All their customers have ordered on the strap and not the bracelet too.
