Mixing it up w/ a Tudor


Went away from Rolex for this latest purchase for a less expensive white dial and the Tudor 1926. Finding myself to really like it, especially being under $2k (I know, it has an eta movement, but still). Ordered a blue gator strap (thanks to motivation I found here) and I think it really makes the blue pop!

Congrats!! And a great move. The 1926 series is the sleeper in the Tudor lineup. I have 2 Tudors, both factory tuned up ETAs and they run with the best out there.. Enjoy that Beauty!!..

Congratulations! I wouldn’t sneeze at ETA. They are a powerhouse when it comes to movements and Tudor uses the high grade variants in their watches. By the way, if this is a newer production 1926, it likely has a Sellita instead.

I only just stumbled across the 1926 myself. It's damn tasteful and the price is incredible!

Looks well sharp and clean.
I'd rather an ETA than a new in house anyway.
Oops I have.
