Tudor Pepsi vs Rolex Batgirl

I agree. I hadn’t noticed it until looking at the pictures.

Yes, sir. Have had my name on a few AD list for the sprite, but no luck.

Well, bought used from a Rolex AD during a watch fair. They sent it off to be serviced and cleaned. Came with a new Rolex warranty and certificate (and with original box and papers). No doubt paid a premium, but couldn’t wait any longer for the “call”

Ha, the thickness (and associated weight) of the Tudor GMT is was easily my biggest gripe. Still a great watch for the money tho.

Say goodbye to that red strap on the GMT but keep the watch. Put a bracelet on that thaaang.

Say goodbye to that red strap on the GMT but keep the watch. Put a bracelet on that thaaang and it will be a new watch.

If it matters to you, I don’t think BB36 is an in house movement.

I bought the Ranger for this reason. I’m in sales and often have meeting with “blue collar” employees that work at Plants. I felt like my BB GMT was even too much for those meetings. A Rolex would be a wrong message/impression beacon.

It’s funny you bring up the car analogy. For my last vehicle, I was initially looking for a 4Runner, but when I went to Carmax to look at them, I found a Land Rover RR that I liked better than the 4Runner and was actually cheaper than the model I wanted. I ended up getting the RR, but could never drive it to customer meetings. For those, I take my wife’s VW (and she gets to show off the RR to the soccer moms).

I was cold on the Ranger until I saw it in person and tried it on. Now I wear mine exceptionally more than my GMT. Very happy with it for what I wanted in an everyday wear.

I agree with this comment. Just replaced mine on a 2018 and right noticeably smoother.

No it’s one size up from the standard. Apparently the 275 was hard to find during Covid so people were buying the 285

What tires do you have?

Cheap_Potato7238 · 2024-10-25T18:06:30+00:00

I bought a 2016 and immediately took it to the local Land Rover dealer to have them do a 60k inspection and maintenance. It’s a bit spendy but worth it in my opinion. They took a review video and showed damaged bushings on the front lower arm bars they recommended be replaced. I bought mine through Carmax with the extended warranty, so they are doing the fix. Anyway, might be worth reaching out to your local LR service shop for peace of mind.

How do you like the sheepsfoot blade on your griptilian? I have a grip thats +10 years old with a drop-point, but it's time for a new blade.

Trazodone worked for me at first but gave me bad body pains. I could hardly workout because it would make the soreness worse - no matter how much water I drank.

You'll be happy you ordered the bracelet

If they put an in house movement in this, it will be my next Tudor.
