Owned this watch for a month and love it. No 'wrist ache' from the size. Ride motorbikes, wear it for 15 hours a day, wear it with a suit etc etc. It fits every occasion.

Damn I've never had someone nitpick SO hard. Christ.

The Rolex dial and bezel look too busy and obnoxious the Tudor looks stylish n classy, it’s colors look better also.

70 hr power reserve...200m water resistance...no cyclops...no crown guard ...snowflake hands...colors are better...aluminum bezel and the final nail in the coffin $3900...like them both as a value proposition the Tudor beats the Rolex!

Interesting video. Probably being a little tough on the £2830 Tudor to compare to the Rolex which in reality is a £14-15K watch as getting one at list is practically impossible. Even at list, its well over double the price. I love the Rolex but as with most of their sports watches, they’re getting a little blingy and are no longer the tool watches they once were. There’s no doubting the Tudor is a true tool watch.

I'll take the Tudor over the Rolex and in fact did just that.

The hairspring on the Tudor GMT is made of non-ferrous silicon while the Rolex blue parachrom hairspring is made of what Rolex calls a "paramagnetic alloy." It is generally asserted that silicon has amagnetic properties while blue parachrom has anti-magnetic properties. As a result, the Tudor movement actually has a higher degree of magnetic resistance than the Rolex movement.

The Tudor beats it on looks and the colours look better ,price good and just as accurate ,70 hr power reserve leave it Friday put it on Monday and still working ! Sold.

So funny that you’ve made a video trying to sell the Rolex but you’ve made me want the Tudor more! Looks 100 times better and with the over inflated Rolex prices it’s a fifth of the price! No brainer really, Tudor all the way 👍🏻

Agree with all your points and it's great to see a honest review of this watch! I made some of the first hands on videos of this watch when I went to Belgium a little while ago, I didn't like it from then and a LOT of people disagreed with me. Now a few of those same people own this watch and have come back to me and said they now agree with me. Keep up the great work!

This watch in the 58 case would have been much better.

Love the video! I appreciate the honest comparison. The Tudor GMT is definitely a great value and more of a tool watch than the new rolexes. Keep up the great content!

I always find your videos top notch. 99% of watch videos on KZfaq are either sales job or someone who still is in the honeymoon phase with his watch. Too few, unfortunately, are like yours. Thank you!

Tudor for me, just think that it looks better than the Rolex, the price of ownership is less than 50% than that of the Rolex, the Tudor is a bit chunkier which I like and it tells the time just as well as the Rolex.

I like how bracelets tapper on Rolex watches. It’s a millimetric game, makes Black Bays on bracelet feel bulky (brilliant on OEM fabric straps though)

If Tudor makes one off the thinner 39mm 58 case, I'll buy one for sure.

Perfect review. Excellent. Wears like a 13mm thick watch. The issue seems to be the thickness ratio. The GMT carries the thickness in the case and the bezel is very thin. The Rolex has more even thickness with the case and bezel.

LoL you're "a little bit disappointed"? You're comparing a Tudor with a Rolex Pepsi. What did you expect given the huge price difference?

Thanks for the review, as always very detailed. I own a Rolex 116710LN so understand some of your reservations but at less than half the cost (retail) of a Rolex is it really that disappointing?

Great subjective review Wayne. I like that you are factual about the differences, and it’s not just your opinions. I think you’ve highlighted the pros and cons really well. It nice to be able to see why there is such a price difference. I guess the phrase “If I hadn’t seen such riches I could live with being poor” fits perfectly here!

Respect the review. Great observations...I’m going with Tudor. If they came out with a 39MM on Tudor I’d take 2!!! It’s why I unashamedly went with the vintage gmt ceramic Steinhart...39MM.

The Tudor has an aluminum bezel doesn't it? It's going to fade in a lighter red/pink probably.. which should look nice.

Great comparison.....all subjective but valid and love your detailed comparo.....

I think the Tudor would've been amazing if it was less thick. There is no reason for it to be so thick. It's the same thickness as the SD43 that has over 6 times the water resistance. Not the biggest fan of the rivet bracelet either. Still, there is a lot to love about this watch.

Excellent comparison and review. You pretty much went over all the questions/reservations I had regarding the Tudor Pepsi. Thanks Wayne!

Excuse me. Do you wear your watches with the stickers on the sides? Or you just collect them?

For people who are looking up, they compare the Tudor with the Rolex they do not have! For folks like you who have the Rolex, it is easier to see the differences that place the Tudor in the $4,000, instead of the $8,500 range! Well said review!

Hi there, so I have the same problem with the Tudor GMT bracelet sizing. Can you please tell me or show me how you got the link off on the bottom side?

I don't love the bezel color, jubilee bracelet, or the cyclops on the Rolex. The Tudor is more elegant in design to me. But I do think it is too large.

So you basically want to make it a Rolex?

For the lug-to-lug measurement, I think it would be more fair to include the end links. I think the solid end links on the Rolex stick out a bit more.

The colours of the Rolex are garish and not refined at all, there is a great smooth transition between the burgundy and the blue in the Tudor that just works. The Cyclops has and always will break up any symmetry on a dial and is plain ugly, I'm sure the fit and finish is better on the rolex but for the price of the Rolex you could have the Tudor GMT, the BB58 and still have change for a nice dress watch

Great detailed video. ⌚️⏱👍

I have this watch and love it. Like the colors so much more than the Rolex. As for Rolex I will probably go for an Explorer 1 or AirKing, the AirKing is weird but I like it after having had it on my wrist....

Great review. The Tudor- you can see too much of the inner rehaut from a straight on view. Should have been 39mm and thinner. Dial isn't black enough. Great value though. The GMT master - love it, an icon, wish they'd never made it white gold so that the latest version could be available in jubilee or oyster. Kinda like how Rolex are finally taking design aspects from vintage pieces, something they never used to do.

Good review. I love the Tudor more on a brown leather strap👌

Thanks for your opinion, Liberace, but I don't think Tudor is your brand. Maybe look into fashion brands with zirkonia's and such.

I appreciate you making this video. I'm going to have to disagree with your overall conclusion. I try to consider the original intention for these timepieces when making a purchase. The GMT's were designed for pilots. Which watch would you rather have in the cockpit? As an airline pilot myself, your review helped concrete my conclusion that the Tudor was the better watch for the mission. The Rolex is no longer a tool watch...

Sorry but the Tudor looks better than the Rolex.

Not good comparaison. The Tudor gmt is not a competition to the Rolex gmt. Each is for different markets and different uses. I have both and they are excellent both. No one is "better", just different and for different uses.

As with previous comment if the case was thinner it would be great but it's just a bog standard black bay with a gmt hand and bezel and I'm a Tudor fan just does not stand out on its own.

funny, I always thought it was big from the pictures until I tried one on and I wears smaller I think... but then again every wrist is different

Almost one year on the wrist and the Tudor is the winner for me. Size, retro style, bezel colors, dial... Head turner.

Tudor is far more appealing visually.

The Tudor is perfect on my 7.25 inch wrist, in fact I was disappointed when I tried the Rolex submariner on as it lacked wrist presence

Agree with everyone who says Rolex is too busy and the Tudors simplicity and nostalgic homage to the old Rolex Pepsi works . The weight and size of the Tudor has an impressive heft .i have both Tudor gmt .and Rolex Pepsi gmt .The Tudor is a runaway winner.You can pick up the Tudor second hand. For £2.4k and the Rolex Pepsi £15k At least second hand .Tudor wins all day long

Hi, thanx for the vid, What’s the trick to adjust the bracelet, Thnx

This video "Why is this not a GMT Master-II "

Apparently its not much you like with the Tudor. The BB line is a heritage line. And seams your no fan of vintige inspired design? Another problems is that you are comparing a watch that cost 4000$ and not 20 000$, thats x5 the price. Next time pick something in the same pricerange and do a comparison. A fair comparison would be Eterna Konti line. Oris Divers 65, Longine heritage Legend diver. Doxa Sub 300, Zodia Sea-Wolf, Rado Captain Cook. Just a few ones. Yet another one when you comparing thicknes and weight. Tudor is rated to 200m WR. The Rolex only to 100m. So that also plays into the design of the watchcase and the thickness of the sapphire crystal.

Great review once again, keep up the insightful vlogs. Thoughts on this watch are that I’d still wear it, The issue with the date wheel seems a bit of a worry, though I’d expect Tudor to address this quickly in their quality control. The 2 other watches sitting quietly in the background were stealing the show. Add the Batman and the lovely new Root Beer 2T and you have it made!!!!

There's no comparison because the Rolex is simply not available. What's the point of comparing? So what if you like the Rolex more? You can either keep fantasising or pay way above retail for one.

For me the Tudor was a lot smaller than I expected, after hearing all the reviews saying it was massive. I have skinny wrists, skinnier than yours! but I'm tall and I've got big hands so it doesn't look overly massive. I like a beefier watch, 39mm is a little too small for my tastes and and 40 is even a little smaller than I'd like. 41 is my sweet spot and while the Tudor is a little thicker than I'd like but it's a trade-off I've taken for getting dial size I prefer. Personally I love the smaller indices, the bigger ones make the Rolex dial look too crowded imo :)

Rolex wasn’t looking to compete with themselves - they were looking to make the concept more accessible to a wider audience. Can’t be all that bad there’s a long wait list and I’ve seen a few listed well over retail

I don't see any problem with the scales. of course Tudor is different compared to pepsi Rolex. The movement in Tudor is great for the price is unbeatable. but if you have the money for Rolex of course only Rolex. why having a Tudor?

I'll take the overall tool watch design and overall looks of the Tudor. As of the 6 digit references, Rolex (while an excellent watch mechanically) has pushed into looking more like attention-seeking jewelry to me. The Subs and GMTs prior to the 6 digits are classics. But the oversized bezel fonts, the polished ceramic of the current series, oversized markers... none of it is to my taste personally​. But that's just my 2 cents.

The colors of the Tudor's dial are so low profile and mature. Rolex's scream for attention. BTW, 200m vs 100m is a pro, not a con for the Tudor. I just don't think the Rolex is $5,350 better than the Tudor... I would buy the Tudor just for the snowflake gmt hand.

Rolex and Tudor owned by same Swiss Trust. Sister companies I believe. Made at different factories.

If this watch had been manufactured by any brand other than Tudor, very few people would be going crazy over it.

16:22 if you have a small wrist, don’t wear a big watch because it looks insecure imho

Stickers on a watch , how sad . Do you actually wear these watches. Or have you bought them to sell

Good review but too many wishes if they had addressed all your complaints then its s more expensive watch

The “red” on the Rolex looks pink in person

Why the hell would you want the Tudor GMT ?? If you have a Rolex GMT And why would you even consider comparing Rolex is Rolex and Tudor is Tudor they are not in the same class off fit and finish I know Rolex is apart of Tudor but you can not compare the two and think or hoping it will be on the same level ever Tudor makes great watches It's like trying to compare a Toyota to Lexus thinking your Toyota gonna get Lexus quality wont happen

I like Tudor's vessel's color better. Classy not flashy.

Great watch, better than the over hyped Rolex and half the price!

I think you simply prefer Rolex. That’s fine, but it’s not the only benchmark. Personally I prefer the other options finding men’s Rolex are too garish for my taste, the jubilee strap is misplaced on this watch ,women’s are fine.

I have both - the Tudor is definitely better- understated stylish

I am buying my first premium watch and buying it as an everyday watch

Honestly even if i had the money to buy a rolex, well i do have the money to buy one but The minute someone sees it, they will try to take it from me, Rolex is like Coke Cola, lots of people dont drink it but know the product, i asked random family relatives if they knew what a tutor is, and everybody said i dont know, and everybody also knew that a Rolex is a watch not a tudor tho, even omega, is not as popular as rolex

I took the tudor over the rolex. Personal preference, i dont like a jubilee on a sports watch, i dont like the colours on the rolex or the cyclops. I think if they done a 58 in this youd probably love it.

I think your review should of come from a different angle. Review the watch and it’s short comings against the Rolex but keep in mind the price difference. Then ask what other watches come close to the Tudor for the same price. They are sister companies so there has to be a difference or they’d be the same watch. Tudor have 5 year warranty and 10 year service intervals. I think they are amazing watches and value. Compare them to a Tag with eta movements for the same money and there’s no comparison.

Tudor all day long . IMO Tudor just have much more soul than modern Rolex . My modern Rolexes lie in the box and will be sold at some point , I think they lack character.and are produced for the boardroom thus the charm just isn’t there The 58 is quite simply a superb watch.

You are a real Rolex lover

that tudor is gigantic

I’ll buy the Tudor from you if you want to sell it ;) PM if your interested. Nice objective review by the way. It’s good to see honest opinions on watches.

I own the tudor gmt and love it , but if you offered me the pre ceramic Rolex gmt I would opt for that no doubt. On the other hand the new Rolex gmt in my opinion look like pimp watches .

I like your review ... just a silly question do you think tudor Pepsi can triple up the value for the next 15 years from now ?

The thing you should consider is what makes you happy,and what you can afford.i water Rolex,I have three.because I worked two jobs for many years,70hrs week,no vacation.now I can afford the best of everything I want.if you are willing to.fo that,buy a ROLEX

I was very disappointed in the Tudor Gmt. It was too thick and looked cheap.

Nonsense knitpicking. If you're gonna knitpick that much then you should emphasize on Rolex 38 hours power reserve vs 70 hours of Tudor which is way more essential than everything else you've mentioned.

Hi, u have a small wrist and I think that explains most of your criticisms of this watch.

CHEWDAHH! Ain't no shitter but its the poor man Rolex

You say u wanted it to be more thinner and more like the 58, however as a watch person, surely you wouldn't have purchased the Tudor GMT blind without doing your homework and I doubt it was an impulse buy

Dude you need to compare apples with apples. What’s the point of this review?

Just sounds like your complaining because it’s not a Rolex clone, obviously they will hold this model back, it’s the same sort of watch from the same company at 1/3 price. If these are your gripes though, maybe you should be looking at a speedmaster in that price range.

For me the Tudor is far better. The Rolex looks a tad gaudy, too much bling, imho

The Tudor 200m depth rating not 100 like the Rokex

As you have stated, this is your opinion. Respect for that. I am wondering why you even thought about the Tudor? Every positive statement that you make, is followed by 'but', which negated the statement. Tudor doesn't want a Rolex, so they made the watch they wanted to make. The relationship between Tudor and Rolex is simply a relationship. It is not identical. You clearly are up Rolex Fanboy, no disrespect intended mate, so stick with Rolex. Tudor is geared to a different clientele. They're taking chances, and want to be the watch of the people who want something different. The fact that they experiment, is what makes them so admired. I happen to own a Black Bay Harrods, and a Pepsi. Two totally different watches worn at different times. I like the fact that they are not so similar. (Not talking about the colour or the GMT function. Size and style) It allows me to put on a different watch at different times. This is not an attack on you make, and it's not meant as such. Your comparison just seems to be very biased. Cheers.

lol that watch is a clock on almost anybody's wrist

The only things i don’t like with this watch is the thickness with the slab sides and I have to agree with your comment on the markers. They would be better if they were more Maxi style. Still think it’s a nice watch but it’s the BB58 that has my attention.

Tudor beats the Rolex in every way … why? .. because it’s actually available!

@17:50 you claim it wears well? Im sorry but none of these models seem to fit your wrist well. However a 36 mm datejust would do the job IMO.

I don't understand why would you go for a tudor, when you're expecting a rolex. These are two different branches and no comparing matter.

Rolex lume is chromalight . They couldn't do a direct copy of the master II , this watch is its own thing .

Not a Pepsi bezel more like a rc cola bezel... I think it's a great watch but not a Pepsi.

sorry but the tudor bezel colors just make the rolex look old and faded; for the value Tudor all day; also the oyster bracelet on the tudor just looks beefier and more substantial.

Wrist is too small for all 3 in my opinion.

Too snobby. Tudor all day long.

👍👍👍

Compare price points......then is it worth it......that 2 tone 😳🤮
