Well gents I made the move and purchased my second automatic, it’s a Tudor Heritage BB as pictured and I should have it in about a week and will let you know how it looks, I know some say it’s a poor mans Rolex but I handled one at the local AD and liked the way it felt so I tried to work a deal with them but they were firm on the pricing so I went Grey and we will see.

Here are some pics, I don’t think these are the actual watch but am assured by the seller that it’s brand new with all factory packaging and warranty dated 01/2019

it's not a "poor man's rolex". that's simply the way snobs can boost their watch. tudors are great watches.

AEC · 25 April 2019, 06:40 PM

Nice watch. Congratulations!

derekhayden · 25 April 2019, 09:48 PM

Congrats.....I wear my "poor mans Rolex" daily.

1William · 25 April 2019, 10:03 PM

Congratulations.

Soly20 · 25 April 2019, 10:05 PM

Nice one. Congrats!

brandrea · 25 April 2019, 10:08 PM

Very nice, congratulations in advance

schoolboy · 25 April 2019, 11:28 PM

Congrats!

I handled one of those at the AD once, and it felt really nice. Had a nice heft to it

I myself love the blue one!

Have to agree 100% on that great watches with a great brand history.

Dan Pierce · 25 April 2019, 11:43 PM

Congrats, William! Tudor can and does stand on it's own.

They are great watches!! I've had a number and finally decided they are a bit large for my wrist. For me I'd want the BB58.

timvbs · 25 April 2019, 11:54 PM

Definitely not a poor man's Rolex. Tudors are great timepieces with a great horological history. Enjoy your new watch and wear it in good health. I love my Tudor as much as my Rolex.

ferrissteve11 · 26 April 2019, 12:02 AM

Tudor makes an excellent watch. Had a Tudor Black Bay for a while, and the only reason I moved it onward was the lack of a date complication. That aside I'd own another Tudor if another model absolutely called out to me.

Well said!

I’m wearing my BB GMT with pride and find it more appealing than a 216710BLRO. Better vintage look and less bling. And it has a better WR and runs for 70 hours. But just my opinion.

Having said that, I love my Sea-Dweller and Explorer as well.

Whether you consider it a poor man's Rolex or not, it's a great watch and you get a lot of watch for your money.
I have the black version and it is more "playful" in my view than my Rolex sub no date. Very similar, yet very different and I enjoy them both for what they are.
Enjoy it!

Rokoru · 26 April 2019, 12:41 AM

Great timepiece!!! Mine get 90% wrist time at the moment...

I saw these in person recently and I was quite impressed with the quality and feel. None of them called out to me (yet) but I also don't call it a "poor man's Rolex". It is what it is, no excuses needed.

Congrats!

77T · 26 April 2019, 01:21 AM

That will set you above the crowded field of Sub owners who wish a red bezel insert was in their watch.

It will keep good time, be as robust and serve a lifetime...

Same or similar in build quality to a 5 digit series Sub?

Company owned by Rolex along with service centers. What's not to like?

tudorbaja27 · 26 April 2019, 01:33 AM

Fabrice M · 26 April 2019, 02:56 AM

Congrats.

RJRJRJ · 26 April 2019, 03:00 AM

Keep your head up and maybe things will get better for you in the future

Congrats. I like that color combo

samson66 · 26 April 2019, 03:02 AM

If it's a poor man's Rolex, why do so may Rolex owners on this site also own Tudors???

Two very different brands and more than enough room to accommodate both.

Congrats!

CoveWatch · 26 April 2019, 03:06 AM

Great watch, congrats!

Rolexoman · 26 April 2019, 11:00 AM

Thanks gents for the compliments, when I finally woke up and got past the running slightly fast with my DJII ( thanks padi56) I am just starting to enjoy my Rolex DJII even though it’s been a consistent 3 secs fast every day so I started look at other watches and Tudor really caught my eye and the 70 hrs in the new movement is a big plus.

I have heard several say Tudors are a poor mans Rolex but I purchased it because I liked the way it looked on my wrist at the local AD but they would not budge on the price so I shopped grey and got a really great price and factory warranty dated Jan 2019 so I have most of the warranty left

Will post up lots of pics when it gets here

6scape · 26 April 2019, 11:07 AM

It's actually not bad at all. congratulations!

BakerView · 26 April 2019, 11:17 AM

Mine wears in rotation with some heavy hitters and it does just fine because, like you, I wear it for ME.

If someone is trying to impress others with their watch, well..... there's problems there Im not medically qualified to address.
