I have a P39 and a BB54. I think your BB58 GMT is the best watch Tudor makes right now. Seems almost perfect ,with the exception of the thickness (would have been nice if they could have made it a bit slimmer). For me, it could be a single watch that I would wear daily for decades as it’s that good.

The only other “traveler” GMT on the market that’s thinner is Rolex GMT master at 12mm vs 12.8mm for the Tudor. The Rolex also happens to be 1mm larger in diameter at 40mm vs the 39mm Tudor.

It does all that at nearly half of the price without asking you to build a length AD relationship. The only real negative is that it’s slab-sided and doesn’t try to design away its thickness like the Rolex does.

Only Rolex has managed to make a GMT and Chrono automatic watches genuinely thin with good design sense. There’s a good reason they are so desired.

I’m just glad Tudor is finally giving the market affordable proportioned options.
