If we’re not talking about price and being able to sell it, I’d probably pick the black 36mm OP over every other current Rolex, let alone Tudor.

I love the OP and the BB 58 over any other Tudor. So, I guess cheapest Rolex.

Maybe a base OP and S&G Chrono perhaps?
My wife has the S&G Chrono on Bund and I must say, it’s a pretty cool watch…don’t know if I would trade any of my Rolexes for it.

If the most expensive Tudor came with a brushed gold bracelet with T-fit, I would buy it over the cheapest Rolex for sure, maybe even over the most expensive Rolex.



Come to think of it, I would buy and wear the cheapest Tudor over the cheapest Rolex as well.
This one looks amazing!

Cheapest Rolex i would wear would be an OP, no thank you. Extremely basic and boring. Would rather spend $3500 and wear a bb58.

If you like the OP, that’s awesome. I wouldn’t look at what is the absolute least expensive Rolex i can buy. Nobody will notice it, nobody cares. I would rather buy whatever i like for whatever it costs.

In short? Cheapest Rolex.

Might need my flame suit for this opinion... But in the AD's I've been in, current Tudors just don't compare well to Rolex. It might be that the Tudors are typically displayed less advantageously than the Rolexes and might fare better in a Tudor boutique. Or it might be that the differences in design/finishing are much more apparent in person. I don't know what it is honestly. I think Tudors photograph extremely well but just don't blow my hair back in person. I know they are both a very good watch and good value.

I do like the older Tudors where they used a lot of Rolex parts and ETA movements. But not really interested in vintage.

Least expensive Rolex because the OP36 Silver just happens to be one of my favourite pieces!

I change my vote to the gold BB over an OP.

If the gold BB isn't an option, I would go with an OP 41.

I googled “the most expensive Tudor sold” and I got this Submariner big crown




I would definitely take this over the cheapest Rolex (if paying for it wasn’t in the equation)

Some people care about the Rolex cache. To me, it means nothing. In fact, I find the new wave of Rolex enthusiasts to be rather obnoxious. Not gatekeeping, but the whole Youtube watch scene, and instagram hype buyers are not my speed.

I'd buy any Tudor or Rolex that I enjoy, regardless of price. Both are great brands.

What would you rather own?

I just don’t like that gold BB58 with green dial.

Sorry, but it’s just not me.
