I don't know how to say

but it has to be said. I really, really dislike Tudor. I know i will be hated right now, but I just couldn't keep it for myself. I'm sorry

With the exception of the BBRed/Black.... I have to agree. Their current line up does nothing for me. The older model Oyster Date with a white face.... its a work of art!

Everyone is different. Some will like it and some won't so there's no need to be sorry. And I'm sure you won't be hated here.

I think Tudor hits a completely new market for Rolex not only in style but in price point as well.

I'd be curious to learn if the OP simply doesn't like the Tudor style or just the fact it doesn't say Rolex on the dial?

I don't. Tudor is putting out some interesting product these days, going in house with some of their movements. I just wish they wore a little smaller, for the rest of us.

Albeit I don't hate Tudor - the brand did nothing to deserve such anger - I can't say I'm a fan. Omega would be my choice in the same price range.

I am guessing the OP is under 30. At least in the US, Tudors have connections with people who have experiences with them in the 70s and 80s.

Dont worry i feel the same.

I will never buy one. Its a lesser rolex sub. Yes i know tubor is the original sub but a rolex sub is superior.

Agree. I really like the Pelagos, Ranger, and North Flag. A few mm smaller would be awesome.

It's hard to love a Toyota when you drive a Lexus.

I think the BB and Pelagos look cool, the rest look like Seikos to me.

Why dislike Toyota when you drive a Lexus? Both are made in the same factories, same parent company.

Just think of the brand as the stepping stone into Rolex.

My mom taught me the same thing and it is a simple rule I follow to avoid unnecessarily offending others.
This is why it's great to live in a free society, everyone is entitled to their opinion

jdw007:

(1) What an astute remark.

(2) Notwithstanding the fact that Tudor does not like you either, I can only imagine why something like this "has to be said." There is like 3 or 500 other ways you could have opened up a discussion regarding your position on Tudor.

(3) If you're trolling, I give it a 5/10, as this is a valiant attempt.

Not sure what the observation intends on accomplishing. Anyway, I'm 27, have several Rolexes and my single Tudor is my favorite.

I think the OP meant this Tudor... I mean how could anyone of any intelligence hate a Watch.

Please explain jdw007

Well, in retrospect, How could anyone hate a house, or anything for that matter

Everyone has their likes and dislikes. This is the reason for diversity in the marketplace. Otherwise, we would all be wearing the same watch

I just walked over to my desk, took off my DJII, then put on my Tudor BBN after reading the OP's comment. So there!
