Tudor Submariner more collectible than the Rolex version?
I was pondering this today: due to the fact that there are inherently less Tudor Submariners in the world than the Rolex version due to it being discontinued many moons ago surely that makes them more rare thus more collectible. What do you think?

honestly, it is handsome, less people has it and the price is hiking up too.
when i heard tudor releasing the blue 58, i thought the looks will be the same as this tudor sub. but then again, the blue one still nice, but tudor sub is unbeatable. wear it in a good health sir |

Watch looks really nice, it may be rarer but as it’s not a Rolex it will never be as sought after.

Isn’t it funny that the only visual difference is the dial logo, even the case and crown are the same. I’m not sure that the movement particularly matters.

Myself always buy and wear watches because I want to wear that particular watch and not on some perceived rarity or collectable value.

My beat up nonworking seiko kinetic is far rarer than any Rolex or Tudor in the world.
I would be lucky if anyone even wanted it for free. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

To be honest I do value the Rolex brand much more and kind of love Rolex watches. Just a funny pondering I had today.

Given the choice between a Tudor or Rolex sub from the same year I’d take the Tudor. Especially if it was the blue version

Did someone say Tudor Blue Submariner , I bought this back in the day when not many people were interested in them , which suited me fine as I’ve never bought a watch because it’s the latest & greatest . And Ive always had a thing for blue watches, and this ticked every box then & still does now

The Tudor Subs definitely have their unique charm. These are both 76100’s too, which was the transitional model after the Snowflake.

They are lovely watches, but just because something is rare doesn't make it collectible. That's dependent on demand >>> supply. But Tudor Subs are fantastic watches in their own right.

This one could well be my favourite watch and I own a few pieces from the Crown.

Collectibility is driven by demand, not the rarity of an item. There might only a certain amout of Faberge eggs, but that doesn't make them collectible.
I own a Blue Snowflake because I love the color and it's part of a collection. If it was going to be my only watch? Then I probably would've picked up a 1680 / 5513 instead.

Rare doesn't always mean collectible but a Tudor Sub seems to be both as well as being a desired piece. It may never reach the Rolex value but it's all relevant and will sure holds it's own.

The Tudor Submariner and its many variants (handsets, markers, sizes, and colours) make them collectable in their own right.

Here is mine
Here is mine
I got it at a local thrift store for $50 plus tax at the beginning of the year. Pardon the quality of the pics, they were taken originally at the thrift store (which was a bit dark ) and I had to crop them in MS paint from my original post on WUS due to the new WUS site making all older pics a stupid WEBP file I left it at my watchmaker's place right before the Covid virus state wide shutdown happened and he is still working on it because there is a backlog of other watches and clocks for him to work on (he shut down for a couple of months). This watch seems to have ran well but was well worn, The watchmaker is only going to service the watch and replace the crystal, seals, crown tube and crown (He has the crown tube and crown in stock). He is not going to touch the rest of it. |

Never been convinced by the triangles at 6, 9 and 12 but Tudor should probably revive these rather than endless black bays. Would sell like hot cakes.
