I didn't think you were frauding until you mentioned proportions.

Tudor will be Tudor. Fortunate, blatant pricks on the internet like to call them "a poor man's rolex". Less blatant fortunate snobs leave backhanded "compliments" of the brand. They're an entry level/younger rolex and there's nothing wrong with that. That younger part affords them substantially more possibilities as to what they can release (ie Bronze). It's like someone in an AMG E-Class scoffing at a CLA just because it's entry level and doesn't come with ALLLLL the finer fit and finish trimmings. Still a benz though.
On that note, Rolex will be Rolex. They'll never be Patek. Durable, attention grabbing sports watches they are. Subtle, complicated, stealth wealth (sans nautilus) dress watches they are not.
