I like both of them a lot. They are equally comfortable. GMT is my daily. It has great wrist presence. The thickness is not noticeable and it slips under the cuff very well. I really enjoy the bracelet, which is extremely comfortable. It’s so good that most days I don’t even bother taking it off to sleep. I’ll wear it straight through from Monday through Friday except for showers and workouts.
FXD has the same case width, but the bezel protrudes from the case ever so slightly. The bezel also has a more aggressive knurling. I find that the bezel will catch on elastic cuffs (like what you find on down jackets). On the other hand, the FXD weighs in at 78 grams on the Velcro strap, so it’s great for working out or sports. Thickness wise, the case is thinner than the GMT, but the NATO strap adds a couple mm back. It’s effectively the same height as the GMT.
I’ve thought about it, but I’m mostly using the FXD for sport. I’ll be doing cycling and running in it. So I bought a ton of cheap Velcro straps that will be fine with sweat and spilled Gatorade
I’ve never heard someone refer to the black bay as a homage. If anything, it’s a homage to itself. All of the design features come from different vintage Tudors.
It depends which Sellita/ETA movement and which in-house movement. There are many different grades of Sellita movements. Some perform very well and are reasonably accurate, others not so much. On the other hand, many in-house movements are great but some have reliability problems. Hard to make any definitive statements
Yes. If a watch is significantly less expensive pre-owned, then I will usually let someone else take the hit and buy it preowned from them.
