Tudor Watches
Does it have a fan club here locally?



What's ur opinion on this brand?



I'm curious about this brand. the desirable model imo is prob the original snowflake sub which some of the bros here have it.



When this brand comes to mind, does people associate it with its sister company-Rolex?



Why is the resale value of this brand not comparable to its sister company huh?



Anybody owns a Tudor or is a fan of Tudor?

i only recently starts to be a fan of tudor when the heritage chrono was launched.



i personally feels that their quality are about on par with their elder brother rolex and cost wise much VFM that rolex.



the 4 models that i'm fallen in love with are the snowflake sub,heritage chrono,black bay & pelagos.



The resale value not comparable to rolex, i think is down to how rolex market the brand rolex than tudor and also down to supply and demand but i believe that they are starting to upmarket tudor already starting from heritage chrono onwards the model that came out are quite crowd pleaser i would say.



so take note of tudor and i believe their price will raise upcoming just like how prada upmarket thier sister brand miu miu.bringing it to slightly below or on par.



All of the above is just my 2 cents worth. Take it with a pinch of salt and dun flame me if any of my statement are not agreeable to you.

Re: Tudor Watches
no la, i wun dare flame you one :cry: lol



jokes aside, somehow I find that most pple will rather pay more to get a rollie than a tudor; the current tudor subs for example.



btw, is tudor still under rolex's umbrella?



I tot i read somewhere that tudor is on its own now?

Re: Tudor Watches

I have the heritage chrono, the reissue one.



Bought it brand new 3 years ago.



But still havent wear it before!! :lol:



Thought it will be a limited run, but seem that it is still on sale now. :oops:



Seem that the movement of this watch is not a "conventional" one, modified from 28XX or something.



Maybe will post some picture tonight after I "dig" it out from somewhere.

Loving it. Will write review soon.

Re: Tudor Watches
The fit and finish of Tudor is pretty decent. It's more affordable cos of the use of generic eta movements.



To be totally honest I never really took notice of the brand until the black bay came along.



I always feel that the relationship between Tudor and Rolex is akin to Vw and Audi.

Re: Tudor Watches
+1 on the Tudor BB... Ive been fascinated by its uniqueness since its launched.. Which made me read up quite a fair bit abt it.
rogue_hog
Re: Tudor Watches
I feel that the uniqueness is mainly the burgundy bezel and distressed leather straps. And I didn't realize till I bought it . The deployant buckle is rather unique too.
lunarin79
Re: Tudor Watches
But having owned the BB, will u still get another tudor in near future?
rogue_hog
Re: Tudor Watches
Depends on what they churn out. I was planning to get both pelagos and bb initially but after seeing the pelagos in the flesh. I stuck to the bb only.

Nice. Hmmm... Looks rather similar to tag. The steinhart Grand Prix comes to mind first actually.



Was steinhart doing a hommage of this piece, I wonder?
Ed.YEO
Re: Tudor Watches








I would consider that the STEINHART GRAND PRIX looks more close to the CASIO EDFICE than the TUDOR... the tachymeter bezel looks alomost the same on all 3. Dial wise... TUDOR with KITKAT bars, hands more slimmer, cyclops on crystal?

Re: Tudor Watches
Huh? So steinhart building an edifice homage or the other way around? Hahaha!

initially there were some comments that the STEINHART GRAN PRIX is a hommage to the CHOPARD MONACO

Re: Tudor Watches
I think it really depends on who releases first. Cos it's after all just a genetic design. How different can they be? Not easy for them to differentiate from each other themselves. Steinhart also unfortunate in this sense cos they made a name for themselves mainly with hommages so it's kinda inevitable that people will start to look for a major brand that has a similar looking model and judge from there.

Re: Tudor Watches
i owned the Tudor Heritage Chrono when it's first launched and sold it as part of my consolidation exercise.



It's a well made watch..weight is good, decent finishing and looks nice. Resale suffers - easily 50% from retail price.

My best guess is that majority of the 2nd hand buyers knows well that the movement inside those TUDORs are genetically ETA, even though TUDOR is a subbrand from ROLEX...

Hence, TUDOR will be on the same boat as Bell n Ross, FORTIS, SINN, LONGINES, BALL, RADO as well as other big ticket names. Ask yourself, if you know that a TUDOR chrono will be powered by a modified 7750, will you rather go for ORIS with a better specs as well as attractive price? I know i will not go for either...
oOsiMm
Re: Tudor Watches
I love to get a 7750 based or lemania 5100 chrono from those brands with rich heritage background...sinn,fortis,lemania,eterna,PD,omega,tudor.



Its better than (and many others) spending the same money on a unknown or least unknown brand in the market.. (exclude those micro brands that has made a name for themselves). unless the least known brand is very cheap ......real cheap..



least still know the brand,comfy with the standards on their watches though still valjoux but hey.....Valjoux chronos has been leading the path for easily 40yrs...so no issue.. and even big brands are buying ETA to rebrand as theirs. only a few true watch movement makers remains(in affordable category)



it got to be a full package, nice case and dial design,appropriate movement,better known brand ..

Re: Tudor Watches
Value is really personal. Whether is the price one pays for it is worth it is really dependent on how much you like the watch. If a Camouflage canvas Prada wallet costs, what ? $50-$700? I may thinks its ridiculously overpriced but others who like the brand may thinks its a steal! And damn bloody worth it.



Like I always say, one man's petrus is another's mama lemon.

Re: Tudor Watches
Although I didn't really like the red bezel at first, the more I see the Black Bay the more it appeals to me. Might get it if I can find one at a good price (2nd hand)
