The Tudor GMT Pepsi looks really interesting, anyone knows if the bracelet is anywhere near Rolex sports ? Comfortable?

Comfy, but not so good for people with small wrist if they have kept the minimum size. The only reason I sold off my Black Bay is because the clasp kept moving up (as its large) - which ensured that the watch always ended up lower than the normal wear position, and both ends attached to bracelet are at the minimum length already. The only solution is to knock out a fixed link which ensures lowballing if I get tired of it.

The Tudor GMT looks wayy too similar to Rolex. :( It looks good, but the copy feel is disappointing.

They need another unique iconic piece like the Blackbay and Pelagos.

If you look closely. It's really not.
Pepsi design pretty standard just by looking at the bezel
You gotta look beyond the bezel.

Yeah for sure there are bound to be detailed differences. But the first word that pops up when you look at this Tudor?

Rolex Pepsi.

Again,i think it looks great. And the one with the leather gives it back it's Tudor BB flavor. But still too much "burden" in the Pepsi association.

Lol I won't see rolex Pepsi.
I see Pepsi. That's why there's a difference between how a wis and a non-wis look at watches.
I see the new rolex Pepsi with jubilee I think got skx009 feel. Lol

The execution between rolex Pepsi and tudor Pepsi is way different
One is bling ceramic. One is matte steel.
One is etched platinum numbers and one is printed.
One is modern and one has a vintage feel.

Vastly different. I guess they have to cater to the 2 different market.
One for the well to do
One for the middle class like me.

Couldn't agree more, for the non-WIS, both are just watches with Red/Blue bezels.

I definitely prefer the execution of the Tudor Black Bay GMT, feels like a fitting tribute to the Rolex 6542; less bling, more 'tool'.
