It would be a marketing faux-pas, a complete disaster. He would wear Rolex again if had to go that route.

I don’t know about that argument - he’s worn Rolex, Omega, TAG, Seiko, Hamilton, and Gruen. I think a Tudor could stand proud amongst those.

The Harrods one is a Black Bay but not a 58. As the 58 model has become more popular I wouldn’t be shocked if this was the year they finally pulled the plug on the full size Tudor Harrods. But the 58 is a night and day difference as a watch.

What’s not to understand? It’s like saying you don’t understand why some people shop at GAP instead of Banana Republic. Tudor was one of Rolexes many sub-brands aimed at a different market sector. In the case of a Tudor submariner - it’s a Rolex submariner with a different dial and movement (and handset depending on the reference).
Now, movement quality-wise, that’s an interesting conversation. I don’t know my Omega history well enough but when did they switch from a modified ETA to in-house, distinct movements in the SM’s? Tudor also recently made this switch. While Omega is clearly a few years ahead, to me it looks like both are doing the same thing, no?
