Tudor Appreciation! Share your TUDORS
Tudor's really stepped up to the plate with some awesome releases in recent years. The quality you get for the price and actual availability really appeal to me as an enthusiast. I think they have some beautiful design and some truly stunning pieces in the catalog, both modern and vintage. I also find that there's a certain "piece-of-mind" in owning and wearing these, they are not designed to be safe-queens or shrouded in stickers or protective tape. You can wear one, bang it about, pick up a scratch or two, and that's ok... an actual tool watch! They also look great in all manners of strap, NATO, or bracelet.
Just wanted to start "an appreciation" thread, where you can share your Tudors in all their glory. Share your collection, your favorite straps, your favorite pix, or stories... I'm seriously toying with the idea of picking up a Black Bay Pro and completing a Tudor "Air-Sea-Land" trio.

The Pelagos has become my daily watch. It’s very comfortable, extremely legible, and the titanium has an understated visual appeal. Maybe it’s just that I’ve moved away from other new shiny references for the time being. If you haven’t considered a Tudor, maybe you should visit your AD and give one a try.

Whilst hanging around on TRF I have been introduced to, and have grown to appreciate the Tudor brand.
Here is my 'Big block'. Hard to find white enamel dial, never seen another on here. Yes it is big, but surprisingly comfortable to wear! Useless if you want to see what time it is....but I love it all the same. |

I first read about Tudor on this forum. Eventually came to own a few over the years. My current one is the GMT and considering a Pelagos (again) and a perhaps a Pro at some point...

Tudor Appreciation! Share your TUDORS
I initially didn’t give them much of a look in the early years of their return to the US market, but their recent offerings have simply captivated my attention as I find their design philosophy to suit my tastes. Essentially a touch of classic Rolex DNA paired with modern construction and dimensions.
I also wrongfully complained that all they made were Black Bays but then I realized that all Rolex makes are Oysters. Even more impressive was their move towards vertical integration by fully developing their first in house movement, the MT5621 in the Tudor North Flag. They have since taken this a step further and are now an ebauche supplier for other brands (as Kenissi). I am proud of my small collection of Tudors and am fond of them just as much as my Rolex. I will continue to follow them closely and look forward to acquiring more in the future |

I think Tudor is in a really good place. It Rolex quality for a much lower price, and thus doesn't have all the baggages that are attached to walking around with $$$ on your wrist.

Be they vintage or modern Tudor has offered some great references over the decades.

I have the Pepsi version of Tudor also. What a great piece. It’s the most accurate piece I have in my collection also only losing one second every two weeks. I know that’s just a coincidence but it’s cool. Plus they are putting up Tudor boutiques for the brand now. I think it’s awesome. Nice pictures.

After market strap from Geckota was surprisingly good quality and changes up the loom pretty well I think

Had these two since 2014 and 2015. There weren't too many Tudor fans on TRF back then. Dan Pierce was always at the forefront.
