Tudor definitely has a value , & maybe I'm a bit biased here but I'd take 79090 blue over pretty much any current divers watch including its vastly more expensive cousin's.

Gawd DAMN.


I'm in love

I guess I am weird - here is a curated collection of French MN and US Army Milsubs. There is also rarities such as Square Crown and Eagle Beak

Since Tudor has no value, I’ll take one of those for 100 plus shipping please. 😉

Very nice! My immediate reaction to that was that's a very similar shade of blue on the bezel to the original Bond SMPs.

Was good enough for the US Navy. There were many Navy Seals combat divers shot out of torpedo tubes wearing Tudor subs on combat missions. The watches survived.

For me, it’s an odd question. I think Tudor is maybe the best watch you can get in the roughly sub $5k range. Objectively, I can’t think of a better watch in that price range ($3-$5k) than a Black Bay or Pelagos… pick your poison.

Subjectively , I look at watch collecting not as a luxury/status hobby but more of an intellectual pursuit. I find modern Rolex gauche and blingy.. I would almost rather have a Tudor even at the same price point but I know many (most) would disagree.

My personal Tudor below:


That was very well said—an intellectual pursuit. I totally agree; if a person appreciates the history of a watch and sees it as an art piece, that’s exactly what you described.

If you haven't seen a blue tudor sub in person, definitely take the opportunity. They're fantastic looking watches.

I’m not a sub guy, but I’d buy a Tudor snowflake over a Rolex. Here is my only Tudor, I’d love to get one with no date.

congrats! This one would also be MY choice👍
