I bought Rolex (DJ fluted bezel and Sub) then Tudor. My blue Pelagos is my go-to vacation watch. It's gorgeous, not flashy, very durable. That thing has taken a beating and its as beautiful as ever.

franktehtank · 24 December 2019, 03:49 PM

First I bought a Tudor. Then I bought a Rolex. Then I bought another Tudor, then another couple Rolex's, a couple Tudors... and so on.

Love both brands, currently own one of each, but Rolex will always be king for me!

raflunes · 26 December 2019, 07:42 AM

I've purchased an Explorer II and then a Black Bay Bronze

Three Rolexes before buying my first Tudor, a Pelagos. Now I have one of each, a classic Sub w date and a Harrods Black Bay, amongst other watches.

BigBoy17 · 26 December 2019, 09:42 AM

A few rolex watches before getting the bb bronze

214270Explorer · 26 December 2019, 10:01 AM

Had purchased a number of Rolex over the years.

Then got the Tudor Pelagos LHD. It became the dominant daily-wearer until the Sky-Dweller. Now the Sky-Dweller is doing a long term test from mid-November 2019 until March 1, 2020. (Evaluating the long term time-keeping via the 'old-fashioned way' as opposed to using a timegrapher.)

After that, will start rotating through all the watches once again so they all get worn over a year's period.

pie72 · 26 December 2019, 10:11 AM

First 8 watches Rolex then bought first Tudor ,a BB Bronze, love it,gets the most wrist time.

JayB · 26 December 2019, 12:08 PM

I purchased my Explorer first, the DJ second and then my North Flag. To be honest while my favourite watch is the Explorer the North Flag probably gets about 80-90% of wrist time as I wear it daily to work.

Future purchases I'm looking at the Tudor GMT.

Rollied · 26 December 2019, 12:09 PM

I did. Rolex first then found out about Tudor. And couldn’t resist that BB58!

JimSnyder · 26 December 2019, 12:25 PM

I bought a new Tudor Sub in 1984. Then I bought a Rolex GMT in the 1985.

GradyPhilpott · 26 December 2019, 12:25 PM

I had about four Rolex watches before I bought my first Tudor.

The current collection of Rolex and Tudor watches.

I don't have any hard figures, but Rolex gets the most wrist time between the two, but then I have more Rolex than Tudor.

Then there are the other 20+ watches that I rotate through, also.

Rags · 26 December 2019, 12:35 PM

I had 3 Rolex before I bought my Tudor.

mistercoach32 · 26 December 2019, 12:45 PM

5-digit Sub
6-digit Sub
BLNR
LVc
SD43
Tudor Pelagos......and my Tudor gets more wrist time than anything. It's a workhouse and more comfortable than anything else I own. I do love the GlideLock clasp a bit more than the Tudor, but only by a smidge.

Robbyman · 26 December 2019, 12:52 PM

SubC
BLNR
DaytonaC
Sub 16610
Pepsi
Oyster Perpetual
Tudor BB58

BB58 gets most of the time but the 16610 is my favourite watch, followed by the Pepsi and then the BB58.

The Tudor BB58 is a watch bargain.

I’ve had a crush on blackbay red bezel before I owned a rolex. But I do have rolexes before I pull trigger on Tudor. Had the subND, daytona steel ceramic, and hulk before I had the 58. The 58 was initally there to replace the daytona steel ceramic as my daily, since I wanted to look more low profile on my daily job. But Tudor did a great job. Sold all my rolexes for the rosegold daytona oysterflex now, so I’ve been daily the 58 and the daytona for weekend and occasion. For my next watch, I would no doubt having another tudor especially with the rolex price point now. The tudor pepsi and the Bb harrods is on the shortlist along with the rolex explorer 1.

SkyJuice · 26 December 2019, 04:06 PM

Got my Tudor, then Rolex, then Tudor again.

judson · 26 December 2019, 08:35 PM

Explorer II
Explorer
BLNR
Prince
BB 58

I just got the 58 so have not formed much of an opinion either way.

GSBC · 26 December 2019, 08:43 PM

Have many Rolex’s, and a couple Patek’s and Lange’s before picking up a BB58. I love the Tudor. There’s a time and place for each of my pieces, but for me the BB58 has a vintage like quality that I really enjoy. I wear it more often than the hulk.

lowprofile · 26 December 2019, 10:57 PM

Pardon the slight OT.

You guys are a terrible influence

Rolex guy here for quite some time and I also have the new omega seamaster.

Anyway, do AD's discount Tudors? If so by how many %?

Looking at that blue pelagos :)

Or maybe an older Tiger Chrono?

riad87 · 26 December 2019, 11:43 PM

I had 3 Rolexes prior to adding the Tudor BB58. I try and give all of them the same amount of wrist time but I’m finding the Tudor is edging it at the moment.

These days its tough, but 10 off a Tudor is not unreasonable. Get the Pelagos, its a fantastic watch. Good luck.

Rolexavidfan · 27 December 2019, 12:40 AM

Latecomer here for Tudor. Had a number of Rolex before plunging myself to a Tudor BB GMT in leather. Love the vintage feel. My eye is now set on a BB58 for my rotation.

I did too. went from a tt sub to a pelagos and then to a sd43. The pelagos was great. Still have to live more with the sd 43 before being able to make a comparison but I forgot about pelagos quiet quick...

SydR · 27 December 2019, 01:20 AM

I have watches from many brands but the Rolex did come before the Tudors did.

Syed117 · 27 December 2019, 01:57 AM

Rolex first and black bay 58 after.

Love the 58. Currently the only in production Tudor that I actually like.

SubC first. Then I couldn't resist the 58. I used to wear the Tudor 5 days a week to work (comfort) but since getting Apple watch, the Tudor gets less and less as I wear Apple to work and gym. Don't wear a watch too often around the house. So weekends and other occasions Sub (15-20%), Occasionally 58 (5%) and Apple watch (70-80%).

r_afficionado · 27 December 2019, 02:43 AM

Me. Love my Tudor pieces and Rolex pieces as well.

Wrist time ratio is more Rolex than Tudor as I own more Rolexs than Tudors all my watches are on a one week rotation.
