Quick question, for your first "real" watch, would you rather buy a new Tudor, or used Rolex. They are about the same price.

Tudor date-day
Rolex datejust 1603

Rolex

Rolex first, Tudor later.

Either. Depends on the watch. Both are fine with me.

Tyl3r · 15 May 2015, 01:41 PM

Since this is your first watch, you are likely to flip it in the near future. You would be better off buying a pre-owned Rolex.

Spot on. It really depends on the reference to me.

salem65 · 15 May 2015, 01:40 PM

I like new things. I would say, get the Tudor Date-day.

Same price? Rolex, no doubt.

I agree. If it's a rare Tudor with great resale at a good price then why not?

Otherwise Rolex all the way...

Al1969 · 15 May 2015, 02:17 PM

Rolex.

Rogdogg · 15 May 2015, 02:19 PM

The Rolex for me

Solo118 · 15 May 2015, 02:21 PM

Rolex...

Kanawha · 15 May 2015, 02:21 PM

aaron123 · 15 May 2015, 02:33 PM

A used Rolex will hold its value way better than a new Tudor, but both are great choices. I'm wearing a Black Bay Heritage right now. Great piece. Which do you like better? Make that your main criteria for your decision.

Agreed.

But also, Rolex;)

bigwatchman · 15 May 2015, 10:15 PM

Forget resale and perceived value. Get the watch YOU like. If it doesn't make you smile when wearing, it's not the right watch for you.

My vote is for Tudor.

strafer_kid · 15 May 2015, 11:08 PM

For the most part, I think it comes down to personal taste. Both are very good watches, though for me, Rolex will always have the greater appeal. I suppose some people though are also drawn to Tudor as they appear to be continuing with the tool watch trend or look, and appear to offer very good value for money. Good luck with your choice anyway!

Totally agree!!!
Get the one that sings to you and makes you smile when looking at
the time !!!!

It depends on the reference, but I'd buy either of them used, rather than new.

Castor · 15 May 2015, 11:24 PM

I would usually go with Rolex... but the Tudor Heritage Ranger... OMG I want one!

dominic.warren · 15 May 2015, 11:37 PM

I love both pieces in fact I own a date-day classic TT. If you want a watch you won't run into everyday Tudor all the way. But you can never go wrong with a DJ either. There doesn't seem to be a shortage of either on the used market it's a little harder to find the Tudor but can be done with little effort. First watch for me would be the Tudor but people seem to be Tudor people or not Tudor people. New is nice but used clears more for the next piece. Sorry for the leingthy anwser Tudor but find it used and compare price before you buy new IMHO.
