And it's in the Rolex family. I quite like this (sorry Ed).

You mean Tudor isn't Rolex?

Hey, it's in the family and certainly you wouldn't be stepping away from your Rolex only policy if you grabbed one of these. They also have other dial colours, but this is quite apropo seeing that it's a dive watch and orange is the most visible colour underwater.

True, Tudor is a sister company of Rolex, but on the other hand, you don't see die-hard OMEGA fans running off and buying TISSOT watches, do you?

You don't?

Who would buy an Omega, anyways? LOL

Well the Tudor range when they were using the same oyster case
as Rolex.Was a excellent watch, and quite reasonably,when you
price it against its Rolex big brother.Some of new hydronaut range
of the models almost look like Tags IMO.

i persoanlly think it looks awful! dont like this styling at all.. but each to his own .. how much are they selling these?

Earl · 2 November 2005, 10:31 PM

Seeing how the Tudor 70 - 80's era Sub's are in the $800.00 to $1200.00 range I'd bet the newer versions as the Hydronaut would be around $3000.00 to $3500.00 ??? <-- just a guess.

In Canada a BNIB Tudor Hydronaut lists for about CDN$2,200.

I just tuned into this thread for the first time, John. Somehow it's not quite as fugly as the Pumpkin, maybe because it has some of the Exp styling. But the orange dial does nothing for me (as you would expect).

Why would anyone wear it? You don't think a serious diver would wear that thing when there are so many better dive watches out there.

Well, like I said, orange is the most readable colour underwater. If you ever watch (on National Geographic channel) The Sea Hunters, you'll see most of the dive staff there wear Seiko Orange Monsters.

It ain't for everyone... but that's why makes this hobby so much fun. Variety!
