Which of you Rolex collectors have Tudor in the mix!?

[Sonos]

I have tried a few Tudor GMT and Pelagos but the brand does not speak to me in a way to spend thousands on a watch despite the build quality and heritage.

Nothing wrong with that. You gave them a shot and there was no love. I feel the same for any 6 digit Rolex. Good to have choices that better match our tastes.

Rolex GMT 2 LN, Tudor black bay GMT and Omega sea-master diver 300m.

Have to say the Tudor is getting the most wrist time .

Along with several Rolex models I have this old gal. Canadian members might recognize the caseback inscription.

I own many Rolex divers, and wear my Tudor Pelagos the most.

[SoCal_Batman]

My first "nice" watch purchase was my 79730 Black Bay, followed by my 116900 Air-King, and most recently the 126710 BLNR.

I love my Tudor and rotate wearing it among my other watches, especially if I'm doing any water activities. Recently took it with me to Australia and wore it scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef. Such a cool reference and with lot's of strap options, it's easy to switch it up !

I’m most likely going to pick up another 79230n this year at some point as a travel/casual watch to compliment my Datejust. Or just for days when I want a nice substantial Diver on my wrist that is a step up from my Seiko.

I owned this reference and stupidly sold it for another 114060.

Is the Rolex a nicer watch? Maybe. Is it 4K better? Not sure there. Tell me the construction of the Black Bay isn’t virtually identical to the 5 digit subs...
The Tudor flies under the radar. And is half the price.

I would have been better off putting the 5k I spent into a index fund... I really have a hard time wrapping my head around a watch that used to be fairly affordable when you have Tudor filling the same price point that Rolex tool watches once sat on.

As William1 said. “It’s not the poor mans Rolex. It’s the smart mans Rolex.”

See sig line. I evaluate Tudor on its merits not as related to Rolex.

[enzomn]

Yes I have a 1005 Oyster and a 80's AirKing and love my BlackBay it is my everyday watch right now.

[Tmac478]

I have 3 Rolex and 1 Tudor BB Red on leather.
The Tudor actually gets quite a bit of wrist time.

[Dr. Robert]

I have a Tudor 79090 sub.

[904VT]

As much as I want to add Tudor, I just can’t get past the sharper case edges and rivet bracelets. If I was going to get one it would be the Pelagos though

[Rags]

My only Tudor is a Date+Day

Im the proud parent of 4 Rolex children and have been seriously considering picking up a Tudor as of late. I think there is something about the throw back look and feel that Tudor has really nailed.

I was actually at my AD the other day and tried on a Chrono S&G. The thing is a stunner. I knew I liked it but didn't realize how much I would appreciate all of the detail that went into it. It definitely scratches an itch that modern Rolex are not.

[KingsTrumper]

I have 4 rolex, a speedy and a Tudor ranger. Like the ranger as it has vintage vibes, great size and legibility. Good beater.

*Side note as a nato guy the Tudor natos are superb. There are some good yt vids on how and where they are made.

[AEGRV]

Had 2, BB S&G and BBB. None currently but looking to add a BB58

[arcentaur]

I currently only have these two divers in the mix:

[quitwhining]

I have the Tudor BB58, BBGMT and BB Bronze to go with my current-model Explorer, Sub w/Date and OP39.

Love both but not as much I do my speedy, which is my daily driver. So they’re both in the safe all the time with the few other watches I own.

I got the BB58 just a few weeks ago and I’m smitten but haven’t worn it yet except to take photos. This is not quite a surprise to me because that’s normally how I treat a new watch - takes me a couple of months or so to actually start wearing it. Weird but that’s just how I am.

The sub is a safe queen because I have yet to get used to the thick lugs despite having owned it for 19 months now. I may never get there that’s why I picked up the 58, but I’m hoping my 5-yr old son will eventually take a liking to it so I can hand it over to him when he reaches a certain age, but for now we both really like to play with the moonwatch and ignore the rest. LOL

My Rolex/Tudor Collection

[rolexest]

Tudor is great but I prefer Omega at that price range so no.

[Jabbo84]

Yes, one unfortunately fell into my collection via a Christmas gift from my wife.

[ganiccus]

after all that chat, I need to plan a trip to my Tudor AD and see what he has in stock, too bad it's a one and a half hour drive from where I live :(
The Pelagos and the Heritage chrono blue are the two models that speak the most to me but I feel the black bay burgundy is going to become the iconic reference of the brand 20 years from now.

[Cesium137]

I tried Tudor, it didn’t stick. I am not a fan. More for you Tudor fans I suppose.
