I've had an itch for a Sub ND for a while. I am also very intrigued and love the new BBN.

Do you think the Tudor Black Bay will scratch the itch for a Sub ND? I don't want to end up buying both of them.

HL65 · 8 November 2015, 10:50 PM

Tough question and you should try and compare both. For me would be easy and Rolex as not much of a fan of the Tudors. I have looked and tried in but they just don't do it for me. Many here swear but them and love them though so clearly taste is subjective! Also I would get Sub over ND.

1William · 8 November 2015, 11:02 PM

I own both but have been wearing various subs for over 20 years. I would not have gotten into the Tudors as strong if I had not taken care of my Rolex collection first. Both are great but as a first it would be the Sub.

AK797 · 8 November 2015, 11:05 PM

I love the new BBN but if the Subc was your first love I would let that story play out first.

sonin · 8 November 2015, 11:12 PM

BBN based on your other watches. Happy hunting!

NCD1979 · 8 November 2015, 11:19 PM

I'd go for the ND.

LuminousMaximus · 8 November 2015, 11:29 PM

I think either, but this one would bring just a little bigger smile when I looked down at her...

Rags · 8 November 2015, 11:35 PM

The Sub ND would be my first choice. The dial is simple & classy.

mailman · 8 November 2015, 11:37 PM

Sub

kentrojan1 · 8 November 2015, 11:41 PM

I had the same dilemma not that long ago but I have a BBN and my itch for a sub has subsided!

I vote Sub on this one. I have tried to scratch an itch with another watch only to end up flipping it later at a loss. The Sub is in a very different league than the Tudor in my opinion.

Simple answer I think

If you buy a black bay you'll only end up having to buy a sub anyway.
There's no substitue.

HobokenRolex · 9 November 2015, 12:08 AM

I vote Sub, but the Tudor would give you some variety since you already have some Rolex.

Touring · 9 November 2015, 12:09 AM

Both, but if one over the other, the 114060 comes first for me.

mineral · 9 November 2015, 12:14 AM

Both are nice IMO. But if I have choice, I will choose the old sub model with aluminium insert instead.

As much as I have loved the older Subs..the newer Sub C blow away the older ones IMHO.

No one ever dreams of owning a Tudor.

Au contraire. I am having many dreams of owning a Tudor Heritage Black Bay 79220R.

"Do you think the Tudor Black Bay will scratch the itch for a Sub ND?"

I've got the red BB, and still have a hankerin' for a Sub ND. I don't think the black BB would cure me, either. Maybe a vintage Tudor sub might, but for that money I could get a used Rolex.

sickened1 · 9 November 2015, 12:45 AM

Sub first, Tudor later.

Agree!

cdmorenot · 9 November 2015, 12:48 AM

Perhaps buying both pre owned when there is used availability on the Tudor? I can't see myself owning my Black Bay without my Submariner

Superlativo · 9 November 2015, 12:54 AM

ND Sub first.

SearChart · 9 November 2015, 01:01 AM

Submariner if it was a 14060M, I hate the maxi case on the ceramic subs. So out of the SubC and BBN I choose the Black Bay.

Mr. K · 9 November 2015, 01:12 AM

As you have a couple Rolex, the BB may scratch the itch.

But if you really wanted the ND sub, you will be settling for second best. But if you just want a diver, go BB and save a bunch of $.

I know one day I will get a BB red, I just know it will happen. But I do not see it replacing my sub. To me there is only one brand called Rolex.
