If you have TUDOR, do you own Rolex too?

Simple question
Just because I don’t t agree that Tudor is a cheaper solution for Rolex

I think most Tudor owners own other nice watches including Rolex

I own a roughly equal number of Rolex and Tudor (about a half dozen or so each) and slightly more Seikos (Grand, Vintage, etc).

I’ve owned many Rolex watches over the last 20 years, but only one Tudor...a Black Bay Red ETA which I’ve owned for almost 2 years! Several watches in the current Tudor lineup that I could see myself wearing!

10 years since I am in watch collecting. I went through many different brands. Currently I own 2 Rolex watches (among 5-6 other brands), I have another Rolex incoming and very much looking forward to get my first Tudor. I am on the list for Tudor GMT.

My Pelagos probably gets more wrist time than my 4 Rollie’s put together. Great bruiser watch.

Every thread needs a pic.

Tudor is a great watch when you want to be a little more casual and a little more under the radar. Perfect companion for a Rolex in my view. My Tudor will be headed on vacation with me to Punta Cana shortly. I'll be a lot more comfortable wearing that there than I would my Sea Dweller, know what I mean?

You’re going to get a biased result because this is the Rolex forum. I would guess that tudor snags some omega buyers if the sales staff pitch them on the Rolex connection.

I own both but tudor wasn’t for sale in the US when I first started getting into fine watches so I was wearing tag and Breitling.

Do you still have the dozen BBN?

I bought a Black Bay at the same time I put my name down on a Rolex Sub.
Yesterday I collected the brand new Sub and kind of part ex'd my Tudor. I didn't have to really but I can't wear them both.
I absolutely LOVE my new Sub but as I read this post I'm missing my BB!

no, no
never had all of them
At the end I took 19 of them, kept 2 for myself (one on strap and one on bracelet) all the others went to friends.
I contacted friend collectors and asked them if they wanted one, except 1 guy everybody I contacted was interested.
Then I ordered all the watches I could get.

At the end 19 was not enough, I could have made more people happy but 19 was all they had
