Love Rolex but this is why I like Tudor even more

Before soms watch snobs might chime in .. I own quite a few Rolexes to so please don't call Tudor the Rolex wannabe or the cheap Rolex or whatever nonsense I read way too often when it comes to Tudor.

The difference in quality is barely noticeable and imo sometimes there isn't any difference, the only bigger difference is the price. And imo this difference is just to big. If Tudor would belong to another group I'm pretty sure they would ask a lot more for these watches. If they belonged to Richemont, Swatch or LVMH I'm sure Tudor would start at EUR 5000-6000 for let's say a black bay, EUR 6000-7000 for the GMT and EUR 7000-8000 for a chronograph.
Comparing them with brands in this price category I would even still call the cheap.

Besides, what's the problem that it belongs to Rolex and why people always refer to them as a cheap Rolex just because they belong to the sms group?
Do these people call JLC a cheap Lange ( Richemont group) or is Omega a cheap Breguet ( Swatch)
I mean, these are different brands within one group and it"s just unnecessary to compare them.
But somehow Tudor doesn't get away with it.

Anyway, for me sometimes the Tudor is even better. Owning the Tudor GMT and Rolex Pepsi GMT ca say I do prefer the Tudor and it even feels better on the wrist. For the looks I prefer the Tudor ( matte dial, prefer the Oyster Rivet bracelet above a Jubilee, And the bezel ic imo nicer than the shiny ceramic)
Technically they're about the same in my opinion but the Tudor is 200M waterproof and the Rolex only 100. On the other hand, if one would test the Rolex I'm sure it would dive 200 M without any problem too.

Another big advantage when talking about Tudor is the diversity they offer. Rolex is a bit too conservative. a black PVD / DLC Tudor, a Bronze, sometimes something limited .... Not necessary but fun and enjoyable.

Anyway, here are soms pics I took from a few Tudor I do like a lot

the black bay ETA Noir





The Bronze






and the GMT






Now thinking about buying another one
Any input ?
The Pelagos blue is an option, the new bronze is gorgeous ( but since I have the first one not sure if that is the best option. Or why not go for a Chronograph Heritage Blue ?


So the GMT ? I prefer the Tudor above Rolex
Subs ? Well here again for me the Black bay is the better one
Chronographs ... Rolex. Love my 116500 white and black and Tudor doesn't't have something that comes close enough
