Generally a good list, but I think you missed the Mido TV Big Date as Patek alternative and while I like basically every GS GMT, I think there were better (closer to the original or just overall better specs) alternatives to the GMT II. Oh, and of course the Black Bay GMT, but I get it, as this isn’t a „Tudor alternatives to Rolex“-video

The GP Laureato is far better looking than the overhyped AP. As the owner of both a Seiko5 and a Tudor BB58, I'm really impressed with the Seiko. Oh, yes the Tudor has a better bracelet and is clearly better quality. But is it worth 10x? I'm not sure anymore

MOSER Streamliner which thicks all the boxes for me while being way cheaper than any steel Nautilus.

Fantastic watch better in every way to the Sub....But, the price is just not justified. $16k when subs are $10k. Its just not worth the 60% higher price. The air command was $20k. What the hell is BP thinking? Swatch is letting BP die on the vine.

Hi Britt! I bought a Traska Summiteer as a true homage to an Explorer 1016. Not a blunt copy but a reminiscent of the original with an extraordinary steel bracelet. And for those who like the Royal Oak but don’t want to buy a clone - have a look at the Maurice Lacroix Aikon. It looks similar at the first glance but has a lot of differences when you look closer. Best wishes, Claus

I am a watch snob true. However for the Rolex GMT alternative look at Mathey-Tissot Batman GMT. There is a quartz (which I own) and an automatic. To me huge bang for buck and I get more compliments on that watch than my Rolex’s, or Omegas. Go figure. I would love to see a video comparisons.

I picked up the GS SBGM221 GMT last week. I've been eyeing it for sometime and finally pulled the trigger. It's on a blue alligator strap now and really makes the gmt hand pop. Alternative to the Rolex GMT would be the Tudor GMT. I have the BB58 GMT and love it. I wouldn't take it over my BLRO since that is my favorite SS watch but the Tudor is great, especially for the price point.

It's a bit scuffed up now, it's also worth about 20% less than it cost me then. If I had to sell everything else and never wear anything but this watch ever again, that's fine. It's not for sale, not for 10 times it's current value.

No display case back. An undecorated movement. A hideous 1970's disco era green box made with subpar materials. And to top it off the AD treats you like crap. There are so many better options out there for half the price. Wake up people.
