Value is subjective… dont try and scratch a ROLEX itch with anything else. Hence why other brands even Tudor look like wannabe Rolexes. Just wait

It’s a great reference for sure. I think Seiko also offers a lot of bang for the buck

I don’t know the answer to your question, but all I can say is that Tudor is awesome!

If you can handle a helium escape valve, I think the SMP 300m Diver offers an excellent horological value. I would say commensurate to the Tudor. Neither will scratch a Rolex itch, but for under 5K (easily found) you get.
Metas Certified
Ceramic Bezel
300m water resistance
Display Caseback
Laser Engraved Dial
Brand Cachet

I loved my gray dial 300m when I bought it (and still do for the most part), but have found that my Pelagos LHD is now my diver of choice.

That blue BB is beautiful BTW!

Agree OP.
Was looking for a 5 digit sub, but preferred the Tudor BB58 blue. Tudor really nailed it on this one.

Unlike Rolex, they sell for under MSRP second hand, so even better value.
No worries with the 5 year warranty.

Tudor is one of the multiple brands that come to mind when thinking bang for the buck.

IMO, Tudor Royal is a an amazing value watch. I've observed that a Tudor comparable watch to Rolex retails for about ~40% of the price of a Rolex (example Tudor Black Bay: $3,900 and Rolex Submariner $8,950).

The Royal seems to skew that number in an incredibly favorable way when the closest Rolex is the DD which we know is ~40K.

Pretty hard to beat I’d say!

If you haven’t already seen em, check out Watchfinder’s YouTube channel. He’s done quite a few reviews on the BB58 line.

I'd put Certina and Mido in the mix for best value dive watches. But the BB58 is a ton of watch for the money.

Speedy or the new Seamaster with the 8800 both come to mind more for me.

Tudor BB58 is definitely up there imo when it comes to value for money at MSRP.

Would say the Omega SMP 300 but this one is solid
