Would Tudor ever produce a full pm watch?

I figure most will say never no way. But let's say in the next decade could you see it happening?

Yes I know what tudor says right now the 5k msrp is the limit but things do change.

Now I figure I will get responses like no one will buy it. I get that but hey you never know....

He means that it is rolled gold midlinks.

I think so. But I'm not hung up on things like some.

For £3500? I assumed the centerlinks were gold capped rather than solid like with Rolex. It think Omega also has some gold capped two tone watches.

They did, in the past.

In solid gold, not only gold filled:

No. Rolex is synonymous with full PM watches. Tudor appeals to a completely different audience with a much lower price point. Not likely to ever happen.

It can take 13 polishes. But hey it isnt solid gold so it improper. No need to convince me. I already made the choice.

If the watch market doesn't break I can see it happening, price will still be far behind a Rolex equivalent.

things do change however it kind of goes against the entire premise the brand was founded. The point was to be a quality watch at a lower price point than Rolex. Accessibility is sort of a cornerstone. I know their prices still are not accessible to everyone, but in the context of a luxury watch it is.

Google "tudor watch solid gold". Tudor made gold watches (9k, 14k and 18k) as far back as the 50s and 60s. They were often given as retirement and long service watches. The Advisor was offered in solid 14 or 18k gold, too, according to the Tudor Anthology.

If they can produce a PM with a price lower than the least expensive SS Rolex, then maybe

As Adam said, they have. Not sure we will see it again. But if we did I would assume it would be part of the Glamour line. And , Angelo, I think $5k is about their upper limit but the advisor msrp was $5950 or so when I bought one a few years ago. So they will venture up there.

I could see it for a special edition, limited offering type deal. Wouldn’t make much sense for a mass production model.
