I thought I wanted a Rolex OP 41 silver dial, but couldn’t find one at retail. Instead, I “settled” for a BB58 with a black dial on a bracelet. I no longer have any interest in a Rolex at any price. The quality of the Tudor is fantastic and it flies just under the radar. The accuracy is unbelievable- I last set it three months ago and it is currently less than a second slow. I have had my BB58 for almost a year and I still find myself gazing at it multiple times a day.
I did the same thing and wanted the same OP 41 siler dial.. grabbed the BB gmt s&g love the watch 100% satisfied.
As soon I saw the New OP 41 in 2020, I wanted it. New Movement, new size, Silver dial with Gold Indices (1st for OPs), at only $6.5k....I was looking at old preowned Datejusts for the same price. I did not like any of the OP 41 funky colors, Red, Green, "Tiffany" Blue, Yellow....No. My eyes were on the Silver Dial 41mm.
Also I was looking for a watch to wear, not flip. my first Rolex.
In January 2022, I went to 3 of my closest dealers. One did not even look at me. The other two took my name and number. One of them called me on March 16, 2022. She told me she had one in stock and I had 48 hrs. to pick up if I'm still interested. I went to pick it up the next day.
I will not be buying any more Rolexes. I got the one I wanted. I do not like any other Rolexes (maybe a Submariner). My favorite Brands is Omega and Bretiling. I did not like the Rolex buying experience.
I would like a BB58 eventually. my next watch is either the Seamaster 300M or Speedmaster Professional.
Very similar story here, had mine for a year and I’m still over the moon with it. Just paired it with a Forstner Jubilee and it feels like a completely new watch. Cheers!

I was looking at those bracelets 2 mins ago! I just bought the BoR for my vintage chrono's.
The BB58 looks *fantastic* on that bracelet. ✌🏼️
I concur
Had my Tudor BB Heritage for over 3 months now, and I’m still absolutely in love. In house Swiss movement, heritage design, and priced according to what you’re getting. Unless you’re a rich meat head who just wants the status symbol, I see no reason to be paying twice retail for a Submariner when you can get a Tudor diver for MUCH, MUCH less, and get basically the same craftsmanship. Love Tudor because it flies under the radar.
I have a Basic Tudor bought by my parents in 1963 - I still wear it most days - serviced occasionally what’s not to like.
I remember as a 16 year old, I loved my Citizens and Nixons and didn’t understand the whole luxury market. The Tudor Pelagos was the first watch I saw where I “got it”. That was before I even knew about the Rolex connection or significance, I just knew that to me it looked like the perfect diver. Fast forward to today and I finally was able to purchase one for myself and I couldn’t be happier! I feel like the Pelagos is massively under rated.
haha same here....i bought. awhite colored Nixon in my 20's...now 42, got my "first real-watch" as I started learning more about watches and purchased the Tudor BB Chrono White Panda last month. Really happy with my purchase and w/ Tudor.
agreed. love my Pelagos. I love my titanium GS diver too... so it's a Seiko, in a way.
100% sir.
soft titanium and slab case killed it for me after a year.
I have a Pelagos and a BB chrono steel and gold (S&G). They are great value for the money. All components are high end, the movement works very smoothly, great wrist "feel" highly recommend them for people looking for value.
I love Tudor and have a lot more respect for the guy who pays an equitable price point for a watch rather than an insane markup just for the name cache.
but that's what you are also doing with tudor
@@edrader how is that ? Tudor is very fairly priced for what they are and basically no one outside the Watch community knows what a Tudor is so I don’t agree at all you are paying for the name with Tudor
My first luxury watch was a tudor pelagos.
Me too. Just had delivery of my lhd Pelagos.. love it
LOVE My Seiko Captain Willard. Never thought I could own one (snobbery) but ever since I picked it up a month back it hasn’t left my wrist. It’s replaced my BB58 as the daily driver, sits proudly along with my Zenith and IWC
Love the Capitan Willard now if Seiko can do Bruce Lee's Seiko 6139-6010 chronograph recreation one day my prayers will be answered 😅
EXACTLY the same here! I owned a BB and Pelagos. Then bought a Willard, wear it so much I ditched the Tudors entirely and got a Seamaster.
I have the blue Willard and love it. A fine watch.
I added the green aqua terra collection recently to my collection and absolutely love it. It gets more wear now than my rolex it’s the perfect office piece
Plus most won’t even know what you wear, which is a big plus
@@diavalus I agree, I’ve gotten snarky comments wearing my rolexes but no one comments on my omega other than an occasional “nice watch”. I’m kind of over the negative connotation with nice watches and feeling unintentionally pretentious
💯 With the first question. As someone who has a public facing job, I was told during the onset to remember who pays for the company's bills at the end of the day. The clients.
Omega Aqua Terra world timer with blue strap is a beautiful, stunning watch.
Thanks for taking time to answer my Tudor question Fed 👍
Tudor is basically a Rolex that you can actually buy
I really love your affection for Moser, I have been trying to get the streamliner centre seconds for over a year now... no dice. Even left my name in boutiques in UAE and London...
Reverting back to the mean-Fedrico Thank you I have been looking for a term to explain that.
I have a tudor BB58 and love it . I'm thinking of getting the new Ranger .
I agree with your dynamic opinion on Tudor. It’s definitely the reason why I watched the video. You knew that Tudor is a very renowned subject. And that’s also why you saved the subject for last💯
I just posted this review on Grand Seiko Beverly Hills Boutique:
"I purchased a used Grand Seiko on-line and needed an additional link for the bracelet.
Called the GS Boutique in Beverly Hills and was told that they wouldn't sell me a link since they hadn't sold me the watch.
I was shocked.
Especially as Omega's Boutique at the Beverly Center has sold me straps and links for several watches that I hadn't purchased from them"
I post this here after hearing Fed's comment on service.
I've also bought links from the Rolex Service Center in Beverly Hills.
What's up with this arrogant attitude from GS???
There isn't a lot to hate about Tudor. You might not like their designs, but you can't really argue about taste. You can say their models are uninspired or boring, but many people say a Rolex Submariner is boring, while many others think it's the best watch in the world. If people were just a little less frustrated and negative about everything, I think most people would agree that Tudor makes great watches at a reasonable price. Those who always keep focussing on the brand and the link with Rolex are probably just snobs.
Well lately if someone keep focusing on the link to Rolex, it's Tudor themselves. Their New GMT is just a copy, there is no other word, a copy of the explorer 2, under the hurras of the Tudor crowd. The ranger (although a 'historical' Ttudor model, is as boring as the explorer 1.
The quality is indeed really good for the price point. Does it worth the hype? If it was not owned by Rolex i'm nos sure at all it would have the same success.
Unfortunately Tudor is surrounded by flippers who dream about making a few bucks on the 'next rolex.'
I loved the BB58 gilt when it was released . I tried it several times. Bought it finally. And massively disapppointed. The seamaster 300 pro (paid same price on the grey market) is not in the same league. Io be honest my 2003 Seamaster 2254 Peter Blake had more personality.
I loved Tudor;; I don't like them anymore , for now, because the hype is ridiculous. The Pelagos MN is a ridiculous story telling, And I hope they wont keep doing copies of Rolex. But im afraid that their next release will be the explo2 Polar.
Great video but I disagree that people only want a Datejust because they can't get a Submariner. I have both and love the Datejust much more. I love the bling of the Bezzle, the elegance and that it wears much more comfortable. Plus I think the design is more iconic (or not copied to death).
I have a seiko sarb035 and the new black alpinist. They are really good watches .
Oh man, I sold my black alpinist earlier this year and have regretted it since. Great choices.
@@jonathandosman5496 I understand what you mean . I have held onto my sarb035 for a few years now . I can flip it easy but why bother.
Hey Fed, love your channel, could listen to you for hours 👍🏻 Greets from Germany
Can someone please explain to me how one could consider Tudor to be an ‘homage’ brand of Rolex when they are literally sibling brands of each other?? It’s kind of like saying Seiko makes homages of Grand Seiko. Or Toyota makes homages of Lexus. Someone clarify please, and make it make sense to me?
In the end it's a copy of another watch, that's it. With a different brand name on it. Doesn't matter if Tudor belongs to Rolex; the new Tudor pro GMT is a copy of the Rolex explorer 2.
Great content as usual. I am a Tudor and Seiko fan. I think Tudors are very well made for the price. Perhaps subconsciously, I prefer them over other Swiss brands they are associated with Rolex. I tend to baby my Rolexes more because they cost me a lot more money.
You forgot that I can actually walk into an AD and purchase a Tudor.
I look at my Pelagos multiple times a day and still don’t know what time it is. Amazing wristwatch and keeps my Rolex consigned to the safe 90% of the time.
Great points on Tudor. I have a Black Bay Steel Date that I use all of the time. The movment in it is fantastic and loses about 1 second per month.
I don't think Tudor is overhyped, I think people are catching on. Its the brand Rolex used to be. I wish their designs were more original and forward looking, I wish there were real dress options, but overhyped? No. Especially not while I hear "poor man's Rolex" again and again.
Allow me to disagree on the Aqua Terra. It has been there for a while now, the different iterations are great, the skyfall haas become a classic hard to find by collectors. And my 2018 horizontal teck dial is the opposite of boring... the applied indexes on the lazer cut dial and the perfect date integration at 6 are just beauty. Want a boring one? bb58 blue...
I've always found Tudor watches to be well made and keep great time. Can't say the same with my past Omega experiences. I currently own the boutique Bronze BB58 and 925. Spices up an otherwise simple and boring watch using interesting materials.
There are plenty of issues with Tudor
@@diavalus Was just speaking about my experiences. Every brand has issues
I know this is an old video but why not buy a Seiko? Some of them are really enjoyable! I like the king Seiko red dial and the presage line is great! I just picked up a Seiko5 srpe53 automatic day date blue dial as an everyday watch!
Thank you 🙏 I like watches but don’t buy many. I am a coin dealer and my heart beats with that market. You are one million percent correct, simple market correction.
I like the vid, also, I have to say, it's been a little while since I've seen one of your videos and you are looking great. Glad the positive change you made last year is still working
Tudor are fine at their price point... no better or worse than Omega, Breitling Et Al... Grand Seiko on the other hand, are great watches for the money... I have the "White Birch" Hi-Beat and the finish on the movement is next level... close to the top tier Swiss and German makers.
A lot of GS movements are actually not that well finished, GS did well with the White birch, that movement is genuinely worthy and very nicely done! Definitely a level above
Omega is higher level than Tudor in my opinion and I own and enjoy both brands.
@@rey_s90 true... they upped their game with this new movement and I think set the bar for themselves.
Omega is a level up from Tudor. I own and love both.
Got a BBay Heritage 41.
Can't stop watching it...
The Omega Aquaterra IS a sea master… 🙄
Just like Fed said Tudor makes true high quality watches at a more affordable price. To me that deserves the hype
Owned a Pelagos, BB Date 2 Gold and Steel and a BB 41. Sold them all. Reason? They are for some reason, incredibly boring. Now gone back to a variety of Seiko's and Omega Seamaster V2 Black Ceramic.
Thinking about getting a BB58 but the QC issues I hear online are alarming. Misaligned markers, lume pips falling off, bezel inserts scratching easily
I've had mine for 2 years and worn it everyday with a very active job. It's been taken into the ocean over a dozen times without a second thought and has never skipped a beat. It's +/-2s a day and although the bracelet has accumulated scratches the watch face and bezel is still mint.
Obviously this is a sample size of 1 but they come with 5 year warranties so you should have peace of mind should anything go wrong.
My only wish for it would be an easy adjust bracelet that they have implemented in newer models.
Fed - why no love for the bathyscaphe ?
The SeaQ vs 50 Fathoms is a tough call…. Reallly tough…. I got to try the SeaQ on a few weeks ago and it blew me away. If I had the funds avail I would have jumped on it.
Tudor makes great watches. Is it because of Rolex? Most definitely; when you start a sister company you lend your expertise to give it an advantage from day 1. That said, Omega makes BETTER watches from both the horological and craftsmanship perspectives.
@@PepRex you realize that Omega makes much more than the Seamaster you hate, right? Craftsmanship. Much more intricate cases and finishing techniques. Much more advanced movement tech. Yes, believe it.
Why hate on the bathyscaphe? I got mine in lieu of a sub back when I was offered a discount on any of a few in the case… times have changed and I don’t regret it despite the values going in opposite directions because I got what I thought was more attractive.
Looking good Fed...keep up the good work!
Saw the BB Pro on a nato in-person...was actually surprised by how underwhelming it was. Maybe it was because it was NOT on the bracelet. Also, that would have not mattered if it had a magnified date like to watch it is homaging. I know how polarizing the cyclops can be but I like it and think it is practical and would have bought it on the spot.
7:57 Hit this over and over…
I have a Rolex but my next watch will be a Tudor. They do some interesting things that Rolex won’t do.
Love these Q&A sessions!
Federico is a legend!
Federico, besides your flawless taste in watches, I think you've put your finger on the pulse of the economy right now: this is the post-COVID cooldown, not the Big Collapse. Hang in there, watch lovers ... this isn't the end of the world!
Tudors are awesome. The tactile feel of there bezel is the best one in the history of satisfying sounds.
The two most accurate mechanical watches I have ever owned....Tudor Hydro 1200 and a Tudor Blackshield Chrongraph. Before anyone tries to stick the GS Spring drive down my throat...its a "Hybrid" and not a true traditional Automatic watch....but it is a fine watch, not to my taste however.
I bought a Rolex oyster perpetual 34 mm explorer blue dial, love it and got it under retail. I have two Tudors bb 41 blue dial and bb 41 black bezel. Tudor to me is Rolex quality for a better price.
Rolex OP 34mm Explorer? That doesn’t exist.
@@michaelrimmer338 the oyster perpetual blue dial 3-6-9 on the dial with the 3130 movement. Same movement and dial as the explorer
Only problem I have with Seiko is their mechanical movement! The only seiko I own is a spring drive version and would have bought a lot of seikos but the movement besides the spring drive just puts me off. Please please please seiko up your game on the movement and I would start a collection!
What is it about the movements (as they have a slew of them), you don’t like? They have so many different mech movements and saying you don’t like any of them seems a bit weird…
Tudor QC need to be better, had some issues with Pelagos, misaligned bezel, rattling endlinks, misaligned date wheel. RSC rectify the misalignmemt but was told the endlinks is within tolerance... dig around and you will find rattling endlinks on the BB58 as well so IMO, the quality is not in the same realm as Rolex and Omega is better than Tudor for a bit more.
You actually have two wrists, ask Mark from Islander Watches😊😊😊
only thing I hate about tudor is the rivet bands. Other then that. A good watch.
Tudor is a Rolex without the hype, inflated prices and the aura of doucheness that normally accompanies flaunting a Rolex
Tudor has plenty of hype I hear 👂 about the Black bay almost every day. Either from a UA-cam video or plenty of comments on UA-cam and Instagram. It's overkill with that dam watch already
@@lonewolfemcquade8133 I concur that there is a lot of hype around Tudor, as well, and the Black Bay has been fawned over incessantly. With that said, whatever hype that Tudor has is eclipsed, by many orders of magnitude, by what Rolex enjoys. We, who are watch enthusiasts, see the hype around Tudor, but ask people who are outside the watching collecting culture, and most have never heard of Tudor. Everyone, even those who know nothing about watches, pines after a Rolex as a status symbol.
@@alphacause Good 👍 points I own a Explorer 114270z and a Submariner 14060m and I never looked at them as status symbols and I know alot of Rolex owners that are nothing but humble and are true watch enthusiast. I'm really getting tired of the stereo type against Rolex owners. We all aren't like that 😊
@@lonewolfemcquade8133 I hope I did not come across as denigrating all Rolex owners as shallow people, who just want to flex their prestige. If I did come across like that, I apologize for the generalization. That was not my intention. I fully acknowledge that there are many Rolex collectors who amass a Rolex collection precisely because there is great artistry and craftsmanship in those watches, as well the fact that Rolex has a hallowed place in the world of horology. What I meant to convey is that Rolex, more than any other brand, is used by people many people, who could care less about the beauty and innovation in watchmaking, to just grandstand.
Great content as usual. Keep it up 👍🏽🍻
Regarding Tudor, I've been hankering after another Omega Seamaster as premium watch purchase but they've moved into the luxury price range for what I want now. So I'd probably get a Tudor Black Bay instead. About half the price of a nice Seamaster now.
Check the grey market/discounts you can have on the seamaster. I had mine for the price of my BB58 (but 2 years ago for the Omega, might be more difficult now)... you can't compare, they are not in the same league. But I've always bought Omega with a big discount
I love my Tudor gmt!
Federico, do you consider Tudor a luxury brand? I remember an old video you did with Christian (and some other guy), Christian said he didn’t think Tudor was a luxury brand and you agreed. Granted this was many years ago.
I’d answer that he doesn’t consider them luxury. He’d say they were good watches, great entry level sport pieces. That would be my assumption, hopefully I’m not too far off.
My opinion is you should define luxury for yourself. They’re not luxury for Fed but they may be for you. Don’t get too hung up on the topic, buy and wear what you love.
Premium, but not luxury.
I’d say more premium than luxury. I put Tudor in the same group with Longines and Sinn and they are good watches, but they are not luxury. Still, this shouldn’t stop you from buying one if you really like a particular model.
@@diavalus I take a Sinn 144 STSA Porche design over a Tudor any day of the week
Hello Federico thank you for all your comments and advices for entry level watch collectors, question, what’s your opinion on Gevril watches, thanks
I find it really odd when people call Tudor a Rolex homage brand.
As we constantly hear, Tudor was formed to offer Rolex-like watches at a more attainable price. I feel stupid saying that sentence because if you're in this thread you already know that.
But we need to remember that the only time Tudor has 'lost its way', and consequently its market share, is when it moved away from that original formula.
Of course Tudor relies upon Rolex design principles!, that's its raison d'etre! *Literally.*
And the hype? I don't particularly like it, it muddys the water and makes it difficult to see things clearly. But it isn't going anywhere.
On that, why is the 'poor mans Rolex' cliché considered insulting? If someone thinks not being able to (or choosing not to) spend $6.5K - or *let's be realistic* here, $9 or 10K - on an Explorer 124270 is somehow insult worthy, it's probably because *they've* bring downing the Kool-Aid and have succumbed to the *Rolex hype!*
So, in my opinion it's pretty easy: there is a difference between Tudor and Rolex. Obviously. But (using the Ranger and Explorer as an example) is there $2.5k V's $9.5k of difference?
That's up to you to decide.
I don't think there is; but I think Tudor *should* be known as the *'Thinking* Mans Rolex'.
100% agree -in 1984, as a 30 yr-old engineer (who enjoyed recreational sailing) I purchased a Tudor 76100 "submariner" -to get an Oyster case with an adequately accurate movement (Eta 2824). I didn't need the precision (or accuracy) of a Rolex nor would I have felt comfortable wearing a Rolex without a genuine need (navigation?). In fact, in my professional circumstances wearing a Rolex would have been cause to question my judgement :^). By the way, the watch serviced periodically (frequency = more than 5/less than 10 years ) is still fully functional 38 years later...
Thinking Man's Rolex - I like that 👍
@@littleviking488
That's a *great* anecdote sir.
Unfortunately we're hearing less and less about these incredibly well made and built to purpose tools. We (that's the 'royal' we, as in those of us in this hobby) buy cheap disposable watches to perform that sort've work these days and molly-coddle our sports watches.
Rolex is a 'flex' watch we worry about scratching and Tudor is a casual weekend watch we wear to the pub and BBQ's at our mates place. But if we're in the garden, or under the car - or sailing (maybe... I don't sail!)? We wear a 'beater'.
I get it, things change, but it's a shame.
I bought myself a Certina DS PH200M a few years back. Hesalite, aluminium insert, P/matic 80, all the extra DS gaskets. It's tough as nails, no faux patina and the now 'old fashioned' components (acrylic & aluminium) mean it's going to take on its wear and age with me. Maybe in a few decades I'll be able to write a YT comment something like you wrote above about that watch?
Cheers mate.I'll llujnkk
They pretty much scream: I am lower quality than a Rolex on purpose to guilt trip you in to buying a Rolex
I hate that it feels like Tudor has to tune down the hype of their watches by making them off proportion or introducing these faut rivets. I mean they basically have the same line up now as Rolex, at least as far as the popular sports models go and if you have to limit hype, then don't re-release hyped pieces. And then they even use these little variations to highlight certain releases. The BB Pro had the T-fit clasp (why not the Root Beer GMT?), the Ranger has no faut rivets (why not all other releases this year too?) just to feed people a bit more Rolex.
This faux rivets are a unessarsary decoration and I know alot of Tudor owners who don't like them but deal with them. They remind me of something to be found on a fashion watch. Even though you don't notice them just knowing they are there and faux would urk me. If Tudor loves the riveted look so much why not just make a real riveted bracelet 🤔
Love your content. I am, however, going to be a bit critical here... you in one breath said other UA-camrs don't know any better and think a Tudor is like getting a Rolex, and then in the next said they are pretty much the same. :)
just wanted to say love your glasses!
Great content ⌚️
Most people I see buying Tudor is because they like the equivalent Rolex model. I do feel its overhyped but the build quality and more reserved styling is there.
Love the Show Federico! Quick question would you wear a Longines Heritage Flagship? What are your thoughts on the watch?
Tudor watches are excellent, especially considering the price point, and the value that you get.
I a fan boy of Tissot and sekio
The first tudor I owned it quit in one week it was a silver gold oyster.I changed to Rolex I have had nine. There just a watch and will breakdown I buy quartz now
more accurate and no service required. I had e a Rolex lose a jewel???
lmaoo at the idea Covid relief was used on luxury watches
What do you think about gevril brand.
Enjoyed this video! Liking Tudor more and more and agree wholeheartedly that Rolex has priced themselves into orbit. That being said, are there other brands of watches with even better quality than Tudor at the Tudor price-point; or, as Federico suggests, is the Tudor brand over-hyped because of the Rolex association?
The fact that Tudor is a good watch, fairly priced, but gets a disproportionate amount of attention means one thing-it has a great marketing department.
Great video, Fed. I love your sincere and down-to-earth opinions. I wish you continued success with the channel and with Delray. Cheers!
There are some people who prefer Tudor, but for the most part it’s the watch you get when you can’t afford whatever Rolex is asking.
Can you do a video on Doxa watch brand Please 🙏
Love your way Fred , maybe IDGuy is good also
True Dan 👍
did you lose some wheight ? You are looking great !
Fed the Aqua Terra is a Seamaster. Honestly I wish they printed Aqua Terra in place of the Seamaster name.
My buddy just lost 2 lume plots on his Pelagos bezel in one shot by just swimming lightly which is crazy not one but two He's definitely not happy about it. I never had any interest in Tudor since I already own a Submariner 14060m anda114270z Explorer and if am honest I don't like the name Tudor. I rather go with a Longines Ultra chron or a Zenith or even a Vertex M60 Aqualion or a Doxa 300. Or maybe even a beautiful Sinn 144 stsa Porche design. I just rather buy a brand that is not second fiddle to anyone
That’s the famous Pelagos lume
@@diavalus 😅 I can't believe he lost 2 in one shot. Another reason I don't like lumed bezels
I know I shouldn't base my feelings towards my watch on how others view them, but it is nice knowing someone who has the experience and ability to wear many nice watches mention they like the PADI Turtle.
Completely agreed on Tudor. Can’t even release a watch which is of normal size.
Federico, can you give your 2 cents about Omega seamaster 300 ceramic.
Here’s the problem with Tudor . Example number 1. Let’s say you’re wearing a Tudor and someone says nice watch what kind is it? You will then say it’s a Tudor and if someone doesn’t know what it is , you will then say it’s like a Rolex or it’s from the Rolex family or it’s like Rolex’s little brother or a less expensive Rolex,etc. You will find your self defending the watch. When you wear a Rolex someone may say wow beautiful Rolex, they may ask how much a watch like that cost but that’s about it. Rolex makes a statement without you saying a word , everyone knows what a Rolex is!
And this is the exact reason i dont want a rolex. Too flashy, too often faked and extremely expensive. I would much rather someone who knows about watches identify my tudor ! sure not as well known but if you know, you know!!
I can sleep well knowing that Longines doesn't get labeled as "Poor Man's Omega"
People who know economics say we are headed for a depression, and there's a lot supporting evidence. For instance, US T-bills have lost 36% of their value recently. We are seeing inflation rates that we haven't had in over 40 years. Our government is printing unprecedented amounts of money-trillions of dollars. Debt to GDP is up to 125%, and soon they won't be able to print enough new money, to prop up the economy. That means luxury items will continue to fall in price. They only question is, where is the bottom?
With all being said in regards to Rolex and Tudor be reminded that the Shield protects the crown.
The original Tudor’s had a rose as its symbol.
Rolex is severely overpriced and the buying process is stressful. I copped my OP 41 Silver Dial at Retail after just 3 - month wait. I'm not interested in Rolex anymore. I got one and i wear it almost everyday. Looking at other brands such as Breitling, Omega, Hamilton, & Cartier Santos.
Hi Federico, thanks for advice and a great video. As Always. Really think and agree that Rolex are massively overpriced and hyped. Like Tudor more. They are under the radar.
I jumped on the hypetrain and bought my Black Bay GMT in 2019 for 3K. Now I am selling it for the same prize, so it was a good deal, but I have lost my love in tudor. Boring Copies? Wouldn't it be Tudor, we all would call it a rolex homage.
Aqua Terra is a Seamaster.
Wear what ypu like..I wear my seiko turtle over any watch 95% of time
My sentiments line up with Fred's on Tudor. They're pretty similar to Rolex and priced fairly. I think they make a Tudor version of everything Rolex. Have been doing that for a while. Correct me here guys, I'm a fairly new enthusiast. I hyped the 58 because of its dressier aesthetic and for a friendlier fit on my small wrist. If you think the Tudor-Rolex association is overzealous, wait till the Swatch guys introduce you to their wrist candy as an Omega.
Own Rolex, Tudor and Omega and Tudor is the best bang for buck at its price point in my opinion. Of course the Rolex association helps but I think that’s overblown.
Buy Longines they are better than most Tudor watches and cost less are are not as thick as a brick.
Longines watches are big. They often have thick cases and long lugs.
Ah they are ok.
It does not matter what you call it or how you promote it or hype it or wax lyrical about it.The Tudor will always be the poor man's Rolex.
Had bb58. Sold it... How stupid I am
