tchoo-duh

And since most respondents are American and struggle with "Jaguar", "Oregano" and "Aluminium", we'll excuse your valiant failures here too.

We don't struggle with aluminum. We pronounce it the way it's spelled and since it's spelled differently here they are both correct pronunciations.

It’s a little known fact that the “d” is pronounced as a “p”

The proper pronunciation is “too poor” (for Rolex)

Wilsdorf named the watch after the English dynasty, so I guess one can take one's pick as to its pronunciation, depending on where one lives and what language one speaks.

Well since Tudor uses both the Tudor Rose and shield which come from the emblem of the Royal House of Tudor, then IMO the name should be pronounced the same as the English Tudor royal family name - i.e. Choo-duh.

Yes, but it's more like tyoo-der if properly pronounced.

Maybe.

European royalty was never my strong suit.
