I have seen this time and again- a person gets interested in a topic, learns about it and sees something that they like, but is not as appreciated by the larger market. They buy it, and the market catches up to them ... eventually. Example- Matisse lithographs were very affordable in the early ‘80s. It wasn’t that long ago that many valued vintage watches were just “old and junky”.
If you know vintage Rolex, and there is something you really like, that not so many others do, then go for it. Me? I am intrigued by the thought of a Hamilton Pacermatic. |

It should be interesting to see if present Tudor sub popularity continues once Rolex's supply starts to meet sports watch demand. I think SOME of the vintage buying trend is because the new models can't be had by many people who would like them. This inflates vintage Rolex, which sees buyers more interested in "almost the watch I want" models, to include Tudor versions of iconic Rolex models.
We shall see. |

I think people are finally realizing those Tudor subs, especially in good condition, are significantly more rare than their Rolex counterparts.

To add to the thread I think blue 79090s or early 79190s with Rolex markings are great values at their current pricing. |

Couldn’t agree more with your comments , so that’s why I bought a Blue Tudor submariner 79090 when no one wanted to buy one

I have a hard time believing Vintage Tudors are selling because new subs aren’t easily obtained. Maybe nice vintage subs are hard to get so people choose the Older Tudors instead.
Is there anything that I missed regarding Rolex Supply that will change? I always assumed they were creating the supply shortage, do you really think they can’t produce enough watches? The new watches don’t look right. I hope Tudors drop in value. More for us. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Tudor 79260 are great value, between $4-6k for a decent one. The Panda and non Panda styles are getting harder to find and I predict the Tiger version will gain in value as he had secured his place in history as one of the top two golfers that ever lived and is beloved around the world.

You can still pick up a yellow gold or white gold 1803 Day-Date for basically the same price as they were a few years ago before vintage Rolex prices went silly. In my opinion they offer potential for good performance in the coming years.
Get in while you can...and good luck if you prefer to keep your spare cash in a bank account with today's interest rates. |

Like this?
I bought this years ago when I didn't know anything about vintage condition, chamfers, polishing and the like. Got lucky. |

The easy choice is any correct 5 dgt. Gmt, Sub and Expll with box & papers. I have a 16710 and 14060M both bought last year at market price so there was no stealing going on. I did the best I could and I'm enjoying having and wearing
two near perfect examples whether they go up or not. I would like to find the same in a 5513 or a 1680 which is looking better to me all the time with the open 6-9. CPRWATCH #129 his blue 79090 Tudor would be a great one to look at too. Porfolio and investment advice > blah blah blah and thank you. I know how to make and invest my money. For me watches are a way to enjoy some rewards while retaining some value as an invested hobby, not as an investment on its own. I Buy and enjoy wearing the ones I love so it's been a win win for me.

I dunno, vintage tudors are neat and all, but they have crumby eta movements in them. To me the value of a rolex is both the inside and outside of the watch

This whole thing with in-house movements and vertical integration is such a new and novel idea in the watch world. Many companies in the past sourced their movements from others (ever heard of a Zenith Daytona?). Even brands in the $1k range are now going in-house, but that doesn't necessarily make them any better than previous movements.

16800 is a great daily wearer. Would any previous sub to the collection but for the savings it’s worth considering a newer sub with tritium.
