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.
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

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:
Very nice! My immediate reaction to that was that's a very similar shade of blue on the bezel to the original Bond SMPs.
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.
I was at the Tudor Boutique in London and wasn't planning on buying it. In fact, I walked out when my wife stopped me and said "you're going to regret not buying it." Now being a respectful husband who doesn't like to disagree with my wife, I walked back in and made the purchase.
I like this one because it’s Daytona-ish without the Rolex wait. Kinda like a cross between a seamaster and speedmaster too.
I wear a 1940’s Tudor dress watch regularly.
Tudor was spun off to give Rolex a line of watches at a lower price point.
I wish I own one of thses in the future,
