Well, now that Rolex and Tudor have presented the new models, are you keeping your original purchase plan for this year/early next or has it shifted?

To be honest, G, this may be the year of the Tudor for me.

Same here. That Pelagos looks very interesting

mike · 19 March 2015, 04:53 AM

Tudor for the win.

GerardoG · 19 March 2015, 04:54 AM

Wow! Lots of love for Tudor! I have to admit that, in house movement at that price.......add some color....not bad at all!!!!

MBYSF · 19 March 2015, 04:54 AM

I was really looking forward to a new style Daytona. Then again I think we've all been looking forward to that for a few years now LOL. Bummed about that. Back to the drawing board for me...

sturgeon123456 · 19 March 2015, 04:54 AM

I will be buying one of each of whatever Tudor has the in house movement....Rolex was a huge disappointment

Chewbacca · 19 March 2015, 04:54 AM

shifted.

a blue pelagos or titanium smurf is in the cards for me.

but a blue THC is still in the cards.

...so sticking to same original plan or any of the new models made you think twice?

mfer · 19 March 2015, 04:55 AM

I was getting very excited about a smurf in 2015. I was waiting for basel to see rumors of sunburst dial. Didn't know if I wanted a sunburst or not, but thought it might affect prices of matte dial, or I might love the sunburst (as I do LVc).

Then the rubber/rg/ym....I really want to see this on in real life. Also really want to know MSRP.

Angrypuppy · 19 March 2015, 04:55 AM

DD40 for me. It will be a ways off though.

I will continue with my SS collection plans until then.

I agree. My 2 cents: 20-25k (considering price for leather DayDate)

tkerrmd · 19 March 2015, 04:57 AM

nothing for me!

Speed · 19 March 2015, 04:57 AM

"Nodor" for me.

Although I've been eyeing a Grand Seiko Hi Beat!

luvchnl · 19 March 2015, 04:57 AM

I can't wait to see the new Lady Date-Just 28mm

I'm guessing 18-22k. Just a little lower than you. Here's to hoping.

SearChart · 19 March 2015, 04:59 AM

Nothing changes, if I will buy a Rolex this year it will not be a new one (114270).

GerardoG · 19 March 2015, 05:02 AM

So far it looks like Tudor made the best impression to TRF members.....

jjnd08 · 19 March 2015, 05:03 AM

If I went back into dive watches, I've sworn off of them though, it would be the blue Pelagos.

I think this watch is better than a Sub now.

- TI Case
- Blue bezel (need PM to get that from Rolex)
- In-house certified movement; made in the same building as Rolex
- Slimmer lugs than a sub
- Better engineered micro-adjusting clasp than the sub

fania123 · 19 March 2015, 05:03 AM

My pocket is thankful. I do however like the Tudor Smurf but not enough to run out and be the first to buy one. I will wait a while and see if it grows on me.

jjnd08 · 19 March 2015, 05:04 AM

I won't be buying any of the new models, but it does give me hope of a 40mm DJ in the next 2 years!

Duey · 19 March 2015, 05:08 AM

Now I'm waiting for the 37mm Sub or GMT to come out soon

bbressler · 19 March 2015, 05:13 AM

Blue Pelagos has taken over most of my thoughts today

grrr · 19 March 2015, 05:17 AM

I want the YM

Travelin' Jack · 19 March 2015, 05:18 AM

A blue Pelagos is in my near future. I'll probably flip my 114060 for it.

FTX I · 19 March 2015, 05:21 AM

I have a wow/meh relationship with the EXP I and been thinking of one lately (again) but the chance of seeing a 39mm DJ next year is now something to consider. TBH I'd much prefer a DJ so most probably I'll stay put.

Fiery · 19 March 2015, 05:22 AM

RG YM is a home run for me, so it's definitely on my grail list

Mfrankel2 · 19 March 2015, 05:24 AM

with the money saved buying a sub $5k Tudor vs. Rolex this year it will make it that much easier picking up a very slightly loved Glacier DD 40 next year. Three blue years in a row, D-Blue last, Pelagos this & the Platti DD 40 next & keeping my annual average under 20K, LOL

jthop · 19 March 2015, 05:29 AM

I've been torn with DD1 being too small and DD2 being too big. I really think this DD40 hits the sweet spot!
