I feel like when it comes to all luxury watches, debating what something is "worth" is hard to really put a value on. What makes a Patek worth more than a Rolex, what makes a ALS worth more than a GO?

I do love the way Tudor seems to listen to the customer and give them what they want in terms of design. They're willing to do the throw back Heritage lines, when the BB One was such a hit, they release the BB Black pretty quickly, release BB Dark for those people always looking for a black case, give strap options, etc.

Lots of good points here.

To me it is the great value that Tudor brings to the table that has me sold, 6 times. I sold off all of my Rolex in the process.

As Adam said it is very interesting to see the explosion of Tudor owners and fanatics in the last few years since the BB red and the other pieces in the heritage line were re-released.

Oh, how times have changed.

Same quality as each of my Rolex watches.
And Rolex doesn't have these:)
Sadly they are not all with me anymore(the blue sub will be buried with me), but Tudor is amazing!
It's Rolex's "creative" side and their new stuff is incredible. Put a crown instead of the shield on some of them and wait for the waiting list talk to start...

Not at all Lee. Just didn't think there would be to much more debate with Tudor moving away from the ETA movement. I mean how far can you take the glide lock? I can't leave now, I still have to much to learn from you guys!

Tudor is great. Some of their designs are quite unique and some do well while others don't. Certainly more adventurous than Rolex for the most part. I have really begun to admire vintage Tudor subs.

I love my TBB, love the warmth and charm of the dial, polished chamfers and the price as said is great value. Bracelet, bezel and clasp are not as smooth or sleek as on my subc but it is a different more rustic, robust style.
