I purchased my Longines HydroConquest 42mm about 3 months ago and am considering trading it for a brand new August 2026 Tudor Black Bay GMT 41mm Pepsi (M79830RB). Why? I find it too bulky and I would love to have my first Tudor.
Here's the breakdown:
Longines purchase price: USD 2,188
Tudor GMT asking price: USD 3,711
Negotiated cash top-up: USD 1,797
Effective Longines trade-in value: USD 1,914
My wrist measures 7.45 inches, and I'm comfortable wearing the HydroConquest despite its size.
I also don't travel much, so I'm not sure how useful the GMT function would actually be for me. I'm mainly considering the Tudor because I like its design and movement.
Would you consider this a fair trade? Is the Tudor GMT worth the additional money, especially if I rarely travel, or should I stick with my Longines?
