I don't intend to ever buy a Tudor.
I have Rolex and Omega, which is similar quality and engineering to me, but different in design and style. If someday, I can no longer afford to buy Rolex or Omega, then I will just keep my watches and still not buy Tudor. Regarding Omega 007, there is definitely a price premium of $2K-$3K for James Bond license royalty. The watch itself is not premium quality, with titanium case, aluminum dial, aluminum bezel with fake patina from paint/lacquer (ugh). |

I would be more apt to agree that Omega is a Rolex pretender. Tudor typically sell for MSRP both grey and at ADs. omega sells for huge amounts off on the secondary. I’ve never paid even close to MSRP on an omega. 30-40% off minimum. |

My husband has an Omega PO and a Tudor BB 58. We have had other Tudors and Omegas. Handling both the Omega watches are in another class. Even compared to Rolex they are better watches.

Don’t buy the brand. Buy the watch…
I do have a wish list consisting of many brands and price points including Tudor and Breitljng. At the end I will be buying the watch the most appeals to me based on the design and how that will fit among the other watches I have.

So, I really appreciate all the input from you experts. I decided to go with my heart and not my head, and got a Tudor 41, Red Bezel and cool distressed strap. I will get an Omega next, love the James Bond editions, will save up for one.

Oh that's so sad. Sorry to hear that. Could of had one of these instead. I'm glad you got the Tudor first. That way you won't be disappointed in it after owning a Omega.
Just poking fun, congratulations on your Tudor and hope you really enjoy it.

Don't own a Omega at the moment. But been doing some reading and research and leaning towards the Omega Aqua Terra light blue dial on blue leather. Like the Tudor BB58 Blue on nylon strap but I feel the Omega is the better watch from what I've read.. Just my .02..

Yeah, the Omega is probably a bit better but it is all in what you want out of a watch. I love the look of the Tudor, and will buy an Omega next year, which is coming up fast.

I also like the look of the Tudor BB58 but I'm not really a diver watch type, but if I ever decide to get a diver the Tudor would be on my list. That is why I like the Omega AT because it's a diver without the rotating bezel. I prefer a smooth bezel and the AT checks the boxes for me..

The last suit I wore was at my daughter's wedding and that was in 2005, and I'm retired so no going to work for me. I buy what I like just like you and it's all good. We all have different taste and that's what makes things interesting, like they say "different strokes for different folks..

Both are great I have had each. Love my no time to die, and could care less what the naysayers think...it is perfect for me and was worth every penny. Tudors I have had were great, too.

Very intrigued question to ponder. I own both a speedy and a Tudor gmt. I naught them for completely different reasons. The speedy holds a special place in my heart because I have made a few parts that are in space and on Mars. And the Tudor was my first “high end” watch.
As many said before I feel that omega is above Tudor over all on quality and finishing etc. but it’s not like a timex vs a Rolex debate. I feel Tudor will come along way in the coming years and take omegas place in the line up as omega most likely will jump to we’re Rolex is now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

They all handle quite similar.... Your rating scale must be out of wack. The PO is a top heavy watch if I have to nick pick so with your reasoning it must be in a lower class than other subs. Omega likes to be on the bigger end of sizing, maybe owners prefer it to compensate in “other” areas. /s haha i kid i kid |

I really like the Omega lines, but I wouldn’t quite say that!

I just bought a blue dial Seamaster 300.
They had a blue Tudor Black Bay 58 in the display case. I was surprised because I thought they were hard to get. I tried both on, looked them over very closely, and honestly, it was no contest. The Tudor was cheaper of course, but the Seamaster was my choice and it wasn't even close. |

If I could have only one nice watch it would be an Omega. And yes there are some really nice Tudors. And yes I just said this on a Rolex forum.

I am new to this hobby. I currently own 1 Rolex, 2 Tudors, 1 Omega, 1 Longines and 1 Tag. I keep it very simple, only buying watches I like regardless of the brand, hype or cost. I don't care what others think because I bought them for me. I do the same thing with cars (yes at one point I did own a Saab) and beer. We all know something being more expensive does not always make it better, all that matters is that you like it. The real question you should ask yourself is - Which watch do you like better? BTW I also own a G-Shock and I really do like it. My go to watch depends on what I doing but mostly they get equal time.

I think this resonates with me the most. With the money we are spending I don't think we need people or media to tell us what's good or not. Use your judgment and buy what speaks to you with your own criteria. I don't care if it's a casio, an Oris, a VC or some microband. You like it, you can afford it without selling a kidney, you buy it and enjoy it.

Omega is by far a better watch brand than Tudor IMHO….as a matter of fact I think it should be compared to Rolex not Tudor.
