I held a Tudor BB S&G and I thought it felt very - not worth the price. Especially considering in that same visit to the dealers I held an 18kt YG Maxi-Case Submariner. Not just talking about weight, but just the overall feel of the watch felt quite different to me in the functions and build quality. (Funny fact, the Tudor S&G doesn't even have solid 18kt centre-links, they are "gold-capped".)
Which reference is your Submariner? Considering you said $7,500 I would guess it would be a Maxi-Case? To be completely honest I don't think I would ever buy one of those because of those huge shoulders, I love the classic Submariner case much better.(i.e. 14060, 16610, 5512/13) Same goes with the GMT, oh man I read an article where some guy went and bought a vintage Pepsi
and Coke GMT Master. Those are beautiful pieces!!
