I only own the vintage one, for the moment, but I will happily add the Tudor Black Bay GMT and one GMT Ceramic ( still deliberating which one ). The charm and the soul are on the vintage side. But this damn Black Bay GMT is eating my brain, too. Best, Nic...
For me , the vintage GMT, it is more charming than the current version, as you noted. Second place is current Rolex GMT. I didn’t know watches can be brain eaters 😉
I waffled too over the Tudor but eventually took the plunge...with the cloth. Well worth it. Sometimes, after wearing one of the 58s for a few days, the larger gmt case seems absolutely justified. Depends on your wrist of course...
... it would be better if Tudor offered it in the 58 case size. You say you are deliberating about the Tudor vs. the newer ceramic Pepsi Rolex. I guess the main thing here is the price difference and availablility but ... though the Tudor is a great piece...
