For $30K, what are you buying?

[Krash]

The platinum 1908 seems like a great price to me. But admittedly, I haven't recently looked at any dress watches from Patek, VC, or ALS.

[Wcdhtwn]

$32K for a Tudor makes my head spin. Not ready to consider that. I'm going with the Rolex... which I think it my favorite from today's releases.

[ExplorerI]

Neither

[HHIslander]

Whichever one I can flip for the most $$?

[Mr Ben]

Neither at that price but voted 1908 as at least I have a chance at recouping some money back later on a Rolex option. Tudor needs to remember they’re meant to be the affordable option - let’s see £3k watches, not £30k watches.

[Tylerlsu2008]

$32k for a Tudor -- what in the actual f*ck?

[peptide45]

Many other more appealing options at that price point. But If you make me choose, then it's the 1908 all day long and twice on Sunday!

[travisb]

Neither and it's not even close.
So many watches I'd choose over those with a 30k budget.

[yetione]

For 30k? Neither

[rolexpatek363]

Neither.

[OldLume]

60 $500 kickstarter failures

[Seddyspaghetti]

Neither. But if i had a gun to my head, the rolex

[Krash]

I should have chosen my words more carefully. This was meant to be a head-to-head contest between these 2 new releases. I think it’s understood that in reality, many people would choose something other than these two. Either way, I guess neither is a fair response.

Voted for the Tudor. But both from the poll don't sing to me.

[JSol1]

It’s strange because I’ve been looking to add a dress watch and was excited to see them last year, but I was underwhelmed (for the price) when I tried it on (black/WG version.
Since my AD also has a Patek boutique I considered the similar Calatrava. Although a much more elegant piece, I passed because it’s not worth $40k to me.

However the Platinum 1908 did get my attention for some reason, even at $30k, so I’m curious to see it on the wrist (most likely won’t see these in boutiques until November if last year is any indication)…

[kieselguhr]

They’re both nice. I think the platinum 1908 is Rolex best release this year. But I would get the Full gold BB58

[MRBolton]

The price differential from Rolex to Tudor on the new gold BB58 makes no sense at all.

[GONZO2LR]

neither

[brandrea]

If I had no choice and it is just between those two it’d be the 1908.

[yesnaya]

Neither. Not into dress watches and not buying a full gold tudor.

[JRell]

Man the 1908 is a thing of beauty.

[ltmgeller]

Not a huge fan of the blue on the 1908 so I'd go for the BB58

100000%

[dubins930]

The 1908 line makes me physically ill

[0nly5iv3Digits]

Neither, but that 1908 is pretty class!

[Patekfinder]

I’m buying $30k of QQQ. These new releases are stupid.

Neither. But if I had to pick one, the 1908. I would never spend that much on a Tudor.

So far, it's a spanking. Close to 9 out of 10 prefer the 1908.

[DJM4]

I think the Tudor is a great looking watch, but I’d definitely choose the 1908.
