I'm humbled that I might had some small part in having introduced such a fine watch to another. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Tudor is the watch to have when you can't find or justify a proper Rolex..
I own 2 and if I could find a SUB. I would not have the BBR And if I could justify the cost of a TTDD I would not have a style... It's a good alternative..to call it the poor man's Rolex is wrong as they are still expensive to the average working man |

I own the BBGMT and I am fully aware of what the brand was originally designed to be. That being said I feel they have moved past the original budget branded Rolex.
If it's a money or status thing I feel we can throw that out since anyone that can afford a $4K Tudor can easily achieve a $10K Rolex. I have a Polar 216570 that while still makes me happy does make me question where the extra $4500 lies besides in the logo. Which I will fully admit at the time that is what I was buying anyway. |

I had the AD swearing blind that the BB models have a ceramic bezel when the website says it’s anodized aluminium. Still niece
pieces though |

I must be the only one who does NOT want a BB58 GMT. The reason I purchased a Tudor GMT over a Rolex GMT was the larger case diameter and thickness as well as a toned down flash factor. Used to own a 16710 and it wore too small on me and felt so darned light. Wanted something more "substantial" on my wrist. The Tudor ticked all the right boxes and gives of that perfect tool watch charm.

I am with you on this one. While I don't care either way if they release one or not as I have the Tudor GMT I wanted and would still choose over a 58 version.
To me this goes back with Tudor being noticed as it's own entity over Rolex. I actually turned down the BLNR after I received my Tudor because of the size difference. I am also not a big guy so don't see how so many people can complain about it being to large to wear...but to each their own. |

IMO Tudor is a legit Swiss brand. I wouldn't let some insecure snob(s) or internet trolls get under my skin. Buy what you want and wear what you want.

Not only that... You can actually buy one at the AD without the wait! Visited my Nearby AD and many Tudors were awaiting new owners but the only Rolex Professional models were TT YM’s and YM II’s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

That’s a beauty - saw it today at the AD. Reminded me of a Smurf (sort of). But if Rolex made one in SS, we’d be waiting a long time to buy it like Hulks. Come to think of it, a Tudor would be no less robust, accurate or trustworthy. So not sure I’d care whether it’s a Tudor rose or a Rolex coronet on the crown. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I agree. There's a natural progression in this hobby and getting over the "Rolex is the best.......must collect all Rolex" is a right of passage.

I’m certain you think you do. I was just curious why Zenith Boy? I don’t have a Zenith movement.

The Zenith was used for 12 years after the Valjoux.
