Hello everyone,

pardon my newbie question...
I have always known that those three models exist. However never crossed my mind that SeaDweller and Deepsea are both existing together (honestly I thought SeaDweller was discontinued long before).

Now, could anyone compare all those three watches together? What is the differences? how they wear? I know that deepsea is for deep diving, I suppose seadweller is the same...

finally, what is the equivalent TUDOR model all those three?

thank you :)

The standard Seadweller was discontinued and is no longer in production.
The Deepsea took it's place and is in current production.

As far as Tudor goes and comparable pieces, you would want to look at the Pelagos and Black Bay.

deepsea is pretty cool... a catch and release for many.. myself including but it has found its way back to the fold... it's too over-engineered and grotesque

Why grotesque?

TUDOR is never equivalent to ROLEX. It will always take a backseat to ROLEX. TUDOR might have a model that looks like the SUB, but that impresses me as much as SEIKO's version of the SUB.

Tudor is not a division of Rolex?! Creating a cheaper version of diving watches probably for tendering purposes?

You are correct.. it is ... but TUDOR is not equivalent to ROLEX. TUDOR might have a model that looks like the SUB if that's what you are asking.
As to why TUDOR was created, I do not know ...

So their versions are not functional as diving watches?

Here you go.

The pelagos is an outstanding piece. Don't let some of the uninformed comments sway you.

I have heard the Tudor Sub can be taken in water, but I have yet to validate this. If only they showed their devices worked by engaging with a Navy or two........

Maybe you should learn a bit then.

I think the Pelagos can only withstand a mere 500m submersion. Pfffft.

Both Rolex and Tudor have a history of being issued to navies.

Just like always, great pics Mike. Thank you

You really captured the dome on the 1665 in the first pic

I've never seen a Pelagos in person but I have to say it's one I would gladly own and wear. I'd bet it's real comfy and very light on the wrist. Not to mention the clasp is an engineering marvel

And don't get me started on the Sub's flimsy 300m resistance.

Great pictures, thank you very much :)

Really like the look of that Tudor Pelagos. I would love to be able to see one in the metal and try it on!

The sea dweller and deep sea both have gas escape valves and non cyclopes date due to the thickness of the crystal. The sub doesn't have the gas valve and can have a cyclopes date depending on which model you choose 116100 LN and LV have the cyclopes. 114400 doesn't.
