TRF *Tudor Rolex Forum*

Since Tudor seems set to become a dominate player in the retro/sports model seas and Rolex is going more toward the executive bored room in the sky (pun intended) perhaps Tudor should get a seat at the table so to speak.

Has the new Tudor line won over any 'its a Rolex or nothing fans" ?

Not "won over"... I've been a fan almost as long as I've owned Rolex.

THC is one hot watch

And to top it, Tudor threw in a Nato. Awesome choice for the customer IMO.

I'm a born-again Tudor fan

I've always had a sweet spot for Tudor but these new offers have me coming over for the long haul. Hodinkee states that the Pelagos will be approximately $4300. Where do I sign up?

I would love to see a dedicated Tudor sub forum. There's enough horology with the brand to keep it busy!

I love my 2 Tudors, and I can't wait to get these new ones. Wonderful watches IMO.

Some Tudor models have design principles that often touch the playful side of the Swiss watch world. Other models touch the utility side.

Smart work on their part!

Tudor keeps putting out some amazing watches and they are enticing me more and more. Tudor needs to come back to the States.

I've always liked Tudor, but honestly, their recent offerings have piqued my interest much more than those of the Big Brother. The Black Bay, Heritage Chrono, etc have all been great AND AFFORDABLE offerings.

Tudor's ok, I guess, if you're the type who can appreciate heritage coupled with modern technology, with a decidedly adventurous design streak.

Not sure how I feel about a separate forum though, for some reason.

The Pelagos is an awesome new model.

What a brilliant modern interpretation of the vintage Snowflake.

Most of you guys will be buying a Sky-Dweller anyway, so I'll enjoy the Pelagos by myself

Tudor is priced where Rolex used to be. Every price hike is moving Rolex further and further out of the price range of a upper and middle class family.

Tudor definitely hit a home run with their Basel 2012 offerings! I can't wait to handle them in person! Here is my Tudor contribution for this thread

The Sky-Dweller will be available in the USA so you should be fine.

I was refering to the Tudor for a look see. I'm in Canada and Vancouver is my closest AD.Strange the Rolex AD here in Victora doesn't carry Tudor for some reason .The Sky Dweller is -Pie in the Sky- for me so better to stay away from it
