The obvious answer to your question is that you can't buy a watch with a Rolex movement for under a grand, while you CAN buy many watches with the same ETA movement as the Tudor for significantly less than what Tudor charges. What makes Tudor's ETA so special?

The question to this thread should be "why is Tudor charging a premium for their basic ETA watches?"

Again I can see you have little knowledge of ETA yes ETA makes a base movement but in most of the movements they make 5 grades.Now the top 2 grades are chronometer movements and cost quite a bit more than the base movements like in say the round of the mill watches.Its a bit like say Seiko you cannot compare the movements in there volume high street mechanical watches,with the mechanical in the Seiko Grand and Credor range, totally different movements its the same for ETA.And don't forget Rolex used movements from ETA Valjoux in there mechanical chronographs,before the Zenith and the in-house made 4130.
