Anyone choose Tudor OVER Rolex?

3 Tudors and an Air king.
The Rolex gets barely any wrist wear but I won't part with it because errrr it's a Rolex.
I can't think of a Tudor that I don't like but can think of several Rolexes that I don't.
In a pub beer garden yesterday I was petting a Boston terrier and his owner said "Oooooh that's a nice Breitling" he had a Seamaster on and said he also has an AT and something else that I've forgotten and mentioned liking Tudor but hating Rolexes.
Is the Rolex hating an Omega owning trait ?

I did and do frequently. I have the original Pepsi BBGMT, and it gets the most wrist time out of my timepieces, including competition from a 39mm Explorer and a more recently acquired Grand Seiko GMT, among others.

I like the vintage design cues, especially the aluminum bezel and its font, without sacrificing ruggedness, and the size suits me. It easily goes from conference room, to happy hour, and then the beach or ocean without worry. Despite the thickness, which I know some don’t like, it also works on bracelets, OEM and after market, leather straps, rubber straps, and NATOs well.

Here’s a pic on a new JB Forstner “bullet” bracelet I picked up a few weeks ago.

I know some predicadores in Spain that said the black bay 58 925 was one of the best watches from tudor. They keep silent now.

I've owned and own both, although my Tudors outnumber my single Rolex.

I find Tudor designs to be more interesting by and large, and while the casework and dialwork, handsets and movement beauty fall short of the horological giants I find their watches generally fairly priced for what they offer and the movements to be exceptionally accurate and stable.

Having watched Omega all but double their prices in Canada over the past 3-4 years, I find I'm much less likely to follow their new releases and with Rolex the only models that interest me other than the Exp I own are of course next to impossible to find here at retail, and after the Great Fallow Snoopy Years, I'm never again going to sit around for ages waiting on a watch.

I've bashed my Pelagos all over the world and it's still running beautifully and looking honest, and while I never quite bonded with the BB58 925 or the GMT that spent most of its life with me at RSC, I absolutely love the BB58 Bronze we picked up for son and the OG chrono I added a while back. That 58 bronze is a real chameleon -- wasn't easy to hand this one over on graduation day...

I personally did, I opted for a P39 over a sub because I have had enormous issues with 32xx movements.

I did.

I dont like modern rolex. Too blingy and gets you associated with the wrong crowd in this hobby.

I like vintage rolex but am not willing to pay ridiculous prices for old watches unless it has a great movement and/or complications.

Contemporary tudor, to me, is perfect. Vintage rolex feeling in a modern build and without the baggage.

“Buy what you want,” “go with your gut,” “try it on and see how it makes you feel,” all apply here. Nobody is in denial.

Tudor black bay 58 79030n (2017)
Tudor prince date+day 76200 (2001)

Check out the prince date+day line. I think theyre still being sold in asia (HK, macau). Same case as 5-digit DJs (36mm) with drilled lugs.

Never in my life… sorry. Unless it’s a vintage Tudor blue snowflake. Big maybe!
