Rolex Sub ND vs Tudor Sub ????

14060M vs 79090 ?

Help me decide.

I suppose in my heart , I want to 14060M, but....

79090 also looks awesome, especially with blue face .

What do you guys think?

You're saying you're in love with one, but you're attracted to the looks of another?

To me, there can be only one answer to achieve fulfillment......

..... and no I don't mean choosing the Tudor!

Well only your can choose both very fine watches both with great reliable movements.The ETA will be the top grade chronometer spec and if regulated correctly will be every bit as accurate and long lasting as the Rolex Cal 3130.

Love the Tudor, but the 14060M rules.

How important is the date to you ?

I would pick the Tudor without a doubt. You should choose the Rolex because it sounds like that's what you really want- and if you get the Tudor, you may always want the Rolex.

I love the new Tudor Subs and I'm certain that they are excellent watches, besides having such visual appeal.

However, at this stage of the ballgame, I would choose the Sub over the Tudors.

One must consider that I live in the US and could more easily access the Sub than the new Tudors.

I also have my 14060M already.

I love the idea of a 42mm sub, that's why I'm so psyched about the new Tudor's coming but all things being equal I'd take the quintessential time piece, the ND Sub. It's the watch by which all other sport models are measured

I'd go the Sub 1st, followed by Tudor blue later. I'm wearing my Tudor blue as I type. But you did ask for our opinion.

Look forward to the pics which on decision. Cheers
