I own the BB GMT since one year ago on steel bracelet and I’m really happy with it in every single way. Finish, quality, accuracy ( impressive) aesthetic…I love everything. Great watch.
Great points/vid Rob! The Forstner jubilee bracelet has a nicer 2-button release clasp with 6 micro-adjustment positions. I do prefer the Forstner vs the Uncle Seiko.
@@Billeh556 you say subjectively? What are the downsides in your opinion. I was about to pull the trigger on the uncle seiko president bracelet for a different Tudor but I may try another jubilee from forstner if it’s really worth it.
This is a beautiful watch. No bling bling...elegant, delicate bezel coin like knurling which balances perfectly the thickness (which I actually like) of the watch. So again, 22 mm is adequate for this dimensions and it will sit elegantly in the wrist when properly adjusted. I will go for the BB GMT every day of the week as I feel the Rolex has lost its soul and purpose.
Great timing! I have one of these on the way to me in transit right now. With the original bracelet of course. I wanted the Rolex GMT but the Tudor was available and priced right.
Got the uncle seiko presidential for my bb 36 and it totally transformed the watch, absolutely brilliant, the clasp is totally different than the one in the video and made it one of my favourite pieces
I have 2 Rolex GMT Master ii in my collection. I also have a Tudor BB GMT , which I und myself reaching for more and more when looking to wear a GMT. Looks perfectly sized for my 7.75" wrists , and has a great movement. All In all , a great little watch..
I’ve had mine on a straight end jubilee from strapcode for the last two years. Love it and the straight bar endlinks keep a bit more of the vintage queues from the BB GMT
I own the watch on OEM bracelet and it works fine . I tried a z199 Uncle Seiko bracelet on my Captain Willard and it's worth $ 95 bucks but no comparison to a OEM Swiss brand like Tudor...... You get what you pay for so it's all in what you will accept to put on a 3-5k watch .
That's such a great watch, and definitely in my top 3 for a big purchase this year. I've had it on wrist, and it doesn't wear as thick as one would think. Not svelte by any means, but not bad. I have a 7-1/4" wrist though. That's a cool bracelet, but they definitely need to up their clasp game a bit.
With regards to the clasp, I wonder if you could just swap the Uncle Seiko clasp for an aftermarket glide lock style clasp? I think that would put that bracelet over the top.
The Forester Bracket tapers down to 16mm . You can order a Rolex type adjust on the fly clasp for $50 and it will fit the Forester bracelet. Works absolutely beautifully.
@@2K9s actually, if memory serves, you can buy the clasps on eBay. Just ask for Rolex adjust on the fly clasp and a bunch of knock off clasps come up . Then just source the bracelet from Forester
@@2K9s I've been a collector for well over 50 yrs and would strongly advise you to purchase the genuine artical if doing so for a genuine Rolex. For a number of reasons, the 2 biggest would be quality and fit and finish , as well as the overall value of your Submariner. I have 6 subs in my collection the first being a 5513 that I purchased in 1968 at the PX in Da Nang Vietnam . I always saved up to buy anything to do with service and replacement so as to always have the genuine factory parts . Just my advice/ opinion. Best of luck going forward, whatever you decide .
Not sure the Rolex is really better, in what way? I wear a BB Steel on a Strapcode, and it is excellent, even compared to a Submariner. You can order the Uncle Seiko bracelet without a clasp, and use the Tudor clasp with a special link on the Uncle Seiko bracelet. Or you order the Strapcode bracelet with fitting endlings, and a good clasp with six micro adjustments. Or you chose the Strapcode Shark Mesh, which looks really good. The original Tudor BB bracelet does not fit very good, you are lucky to get a good adjustment, because there are no half links from Tudor. But there are fitting half links for the Tudor bracelet from Uncle Seiko. It´s all worth it, because the Tudor Black Bay is a fantastic watch.
I just got one of these for my BB41 and Chrono, and I love it. Is it of comparable quality to the Tudor bracelet? Of course not. But it's good enough, especially for the money, looks fantastic, and is more comfortable and fun to wear than the stock bracelet. I think it looks particularly good on the GMT.
hmmm, not sure. Rolex GMT is a bling watch. Tudor GMT is a toolwatch. So the respective bracelets seem well chosen. Only reason to swap is for 'more' comfort (since the original Tudor has less adjustment options, you might not find a perfect fit ). I guess I'm lucky, so no Jubilee for me.
@@lrahmn7560 it’s not a straight swap. I just checked my President version and the centre link is 1mm too wide at the clasp end. It would need filing down to make it fit.
Do you mind sharing how you did this? I was able to get the double lock off the Tudor clasp but unable to figure out how to remove the uncle seiko clasp off its bracelet.
Do you know if the uncle Seiko bracelet is compatible with the Tudor clasp? I just picked up the Tudor GMT and would be interested in the uncle Seiko bracelet if I could use my Tudor clasp
All the whining about the Tudor bracelet uggggh. And STOP about the micro adjustments! How much is your wrist size changing throughout the day?? If you want a Seiko bracelet, buy the new Seiko GMT. I wouldn’t disgrace my Tudor with a $129 cheap clasp bracelet just so it “looks cool.” Just my opinion. Good vid, either way ✌️
Best mod ever for a Tudor thanks for sharing Rob!

Does the aluminum bezel scratch easily?
I don't have any scratch and the finish is great. I don't like ceramic bezels, too shiny for me.
I got one of these on the factory bracelet at the beginning of February as a belated 35th birthday gift to myself and I’m in love.
Thank you! Just discovered and purchased the Forstner BB58 Jubilee thanks to this video.
Hope to do video on that bracelet soon too. Good choice
The Uncle Seiko looks amazing and the GMT is beautiful 👍
Great points/vid Rob! The Forstner jubilee bracelet has a nicer 2-button release clasp with 6 micro-adjustment positions. I do prefer the Forstner vs the Uncle Seiko.
I’ve never heard of forstner I’ll have to check them. I love my uncle seiko
Uncle Seiko offering their higher end bracelets with pins is just a no for me. I’ll take the FB all day and I think it’s subjectively better too
@@Billeh556 you say subjectively? What are the downsides in your opinion. I was about to pull the trigger on the uncle seiko president bracelet for a different Tudor but I may try another jubilee from forstner if it’s really worth it.

Super old school watch. It will make you look older wearing it.

Simply stunning
can't wait to get my first tudor between the gmt or the s&g heritage

Ok, that is just simply one SEXY watch! One question while watching the video: can't you add the original Tudor clasp on the Uncle Seiko bracelet?
An adaptor due soon to allow use of the Tudor clasp on the Uncle Seiko bracelet.
Looks great! 👌

Nice review. How’s the execution and finishing of the uncle seiko jubilee? Are the edges of link or clasp very sharp?
Does the polished center link scratch easily?
Superb! Thanks for sharing this. Would this work for a BB41 smiley? Thanks.
Have the president uncle seiko for the BB GMT. I love it. very comfortable bracelet
Tudor should manufacturer a jubilee braclet to be purchased for pervious TBB models.

You can swap in the Tudor clasp?
Yet to find after market bracelets that are worth it. Quality is often very hit or miss. For me personally I’d not go down that road again.
Is this the full brushed version?
Squale gmt is also a good alternative
Fit the Tudor clasp onto the Uncle Seiko, no modding or damage of the Tudor clasp is required. Did mine last night and looks great!
Excellent
Has anyone tried to fit the President 1450 with the oem Tudor bb58 clasp??
@@lrahmn7560 it’s not a straight swap. I just checked my President version and the centre link is 1mm too wide at the clasp end. It would need filing down to make it fit.

the Endlinks and the Clasp looks cheap af
They're fine. The clasp isn't great, but it's not terrible either.
I would never undermine a genuine quality watch by putting a cheapo copy bracelet on it. Be patient and wait for the genuine bracelet.
When are Tudor releasing their jubilee bracelet?
It doesn’t look right (looks like cheap wannabe) and those Uncle Seiko clasps are ugly.
