Rolex or Tudor
Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum. I'm looking into buying my first Rolex (submariner with no date) or Tudor (Pelagos) from Mayor's jewelers. I know they are the same company and the prices well are very apart. does Tudor main its value as Rolex? are mayors jewelers prices competitive? thanks for the reply. |

Hi,
If you are buying from an Authorised Dealer, as opposed to a private dealer, then you will take a hit on the resale value with either watch. I would say both hold a similar percentage of their value in resale however (maybe the Sub a bit better). Bear in mind that a new Pelagos with in-house movement and a new colour option (blue) is expected in stores any day now. If you are a serious diver, you also might want to consider that the Pelagos has a better depth rating (500m) than the Sub (300m), and better lume. |

I've been reading and for a daily watch the Tudor is not a bad option. That way i give my Ulysse Nardin a rest. |

Did the dealer tell you the price for the new Pelagos?

You can usually find the current black one new or almost new in the classifieds here for around $3,000. The new blue one will probably eventually get close to that but maybe not for a year or so, I would think. Seems like everybody wants one around here.

I wouldn't expect a discount at Mayors on either piece.

Take a look at watchrecon you will find a couple of pelagos for around 3k...
Now the blue one will take a while to drop on price... also we got to see how the performance of the new in house movement will be. |

I am probably biased because I bought a SubC a few months ago.
To my taste, I am not too crazy about the snowflake hour hand of the Pelagos. It looks to chunky for me. |

It depends on the reference and budget.

That's because it's designed for diving and unique to dive watches, unlike the small mercedes hour hand on the Sub.

I believe you meant to say "and".
