Why Do We Mix Rolex and Tudor Here?
Wouldn't it make more sense to have a separate Tudor section? Its really not a Rolex in the full sense. All these Tudor posts are starting to get me annoyed.

Geeze relax They're practically joined at the hip. A Tudor site would be nothing but Black Bays.

Many of us (me included) have been asking for a separate Tudor forum for years. So far they won't budge. I think although they are related, they are still two separate and distinct brands so I would love for Rolex and Tudor to each have their own subforums.

X2. Tudor is strong enough to hold up its own section of the forum. I think it’s kind of a disservice not letting Tudor break away from under the safety net of association with Rolex. At no time do you ever see a Tudor watch in a Rolex catalog and that should be reason enough for Tudor to survive on its own. Current forum format is like keeping VW and Audi in the same forum section. It makes no demographic sense.

There’s a lot of overlap really so I don’t see the point. Hell, there’s a ton of redundancy in having a vintage sub forum, which really serves as a way to store specific vintage knowledge.

There are helpful scholars that post and reply in the Vintage sub-forum but don't do so to similar topics in the General sub-forum.

I think you find some members who are Rolex enthusiasts not interested in Tudor.
A separate forum would make sense. |

So a watch is about name value then?

I actually like them both in the same spot. No need to open two different sections to peruse threads on such closely-related brands.
Own both, love both - way more similar than different; in my opinion, if you don't like a certain thread, skip it.

Or Maybe start a new Rolex only Forum? You got me thinking now. I'm guessing its some sort of Rolex subsidy and mandate that's keeping this from happening here. No other logical explanation strong words like the above are always about money.

Seems like you might be a tad lonely starting a new Rolex only forum. Seems like you could go ahead and do and find where it takes you. For now TRF is pretty well defined.
