I like the addition of Tudor watches to this forum. I've been hoping Tudor would re-release the Submariner. With a date window. I figure this is the place to get the news when that happens.

You cannot be bothered to enter a forum that is ROLEX AND TUDOR and get threads about Tudor in it. I do not understand!

And thankfully the reverse is true as well, so that's two things you can say but not sure what the point is. Both brands were started by HW to compliment each other. Both are serviced under the worldwide RSC network.

Can assure its got nothing to do with money as being a Mod for over 15 years on this forum, I love all brands of mechanical watches which include Tudor and Rolex.Now if you want to start your own forum you are free to do so,and please give me your explanation why you think its about money.As speaking for myself the most satisfaction I get on forum is hopefully passing a bit of knowledge about the history of both brands Tudor and Rolex to members.And can assure I give up my time and my knowledge gained over the past 50 odd years of being around both brands Tudor and Rolex, which I get no monetary rewards whatsoever, only the satisfaction of passing a bit of knowledge and history of both brands..

Seems like you might be a tad lonely starting a new Rolex only forum. Seems like you could go ahead and do and find where it takes you. For now TRF is pretty well defined.

Historically it is. On the ground today, it still is.
It's the same company, the same after-sales service. Rolex SA offers products under the Rolex and Tudor brands.

You get annoyed, I must say that many must not give a damn like you about 1946

Do Tudors have Rolex movements? If not they have very little DNA to a true Rolex

They are in the same family. When they mix together, I think it help Tudor to get more attention from people that never know about Tudor before.

They were assembled until 1990 by Rolex watchmakers, the Tudor models were sold with cases and bracelets signed and marked "Rolex". Some also had Rolex calibers !
What better DNA do you want ?!

(Curious that you develop your logic on Daytona with Zenith movements next to that…)

Today it's still the same company, but Tudor has taken a little independence from the parent company and is making its calibers.
The after-sales service is still provided by Rolex.
You are not going to rewrite the story because you don't like it anyway !

I support your idea of starting another forum where you can incorporate and implement designs of your choosing instead of sticking around and being miserable here. Good luck

Rolex and Tudor are both under the Hans Wilsdorf foundation, if I am not mistaken. That's why Tudor is sometimes called the sister brand.

Neither did the Rolex Daytona until 2000.

I can't understand why a watch enthusiast would want a separate forum. A social status enthusiast, on the other hand, would be the only instance where that would make sense.

Wearing both Rolex and Tudor watches on a regular basis it makes total sense to this watch nerd they are combined. Their DNA is very intertwined in my opinion.....

I'm sure you scoff at Zenith Daytonas the same way, right?

Or is it just the coronet that concerns you? You'll be delighted to find that many older Tudors are stamped Rolex with coronets as well if that is your line of thinking.

Did the early chronographs and moonphase Rolex have a Rolex made movement inside case, no they had ones made by ETA.Did the Daytona like the 6263,16520 have a Rolex made movement in the case, no ones from ETA Valjoux and Zenith.

PS
I think you owe the members of this forum a apology,or better still please leave and start your own forum, perhaps you will be more happy then, and get no further Tudor annoyance .

I don’t know share it takes for you to consider it a “Rolex” movement but most of the new references have their movements designed, produced and assembled by the same people in the same factory with the same name on the building, Rolex.

they are sister companies owned by the same trust.

it is like saying your biological sister has very little dna in common with you.

I wish people would stop talking about the POOR PERSON TUDOR on my nice RICH PERSON ROLEX forum. It really ruins the ROLEX experience when I have to read threads about all these CHEAP watches.

Anyways, I'm off to go buy a 911 which I will drive at 55mph in the left lane on my way to my private golf club.

Nailed it. But I will say I am consistently surprised in my short time here that except for isolated threads like this, TRF is for the most part genuine watch enthusiasts, even if it heavily leans towards the Rolex side. I often forget we are talking about relatively expensive, absolutely non essential luxury goods that most of the population probably sees as nothing more than a status symbol.

Except those "investment" and "should I actually take the stickers off and wear this" threads
