I'm a relatively new watch enthusiast. I have a very modest collection of watches that all retail for well under $1000.
I fully understand that the more one pays, the more one gets. I get that a Tudor or Rolex is a higher quality item than any of the watches in my own collection. I don't quite understand how these two brands in particular are held up so much higher than other brands within the same price brackets. Omega, I guess, is probably thought of as an equal, given history and such. Is it just the history of these brands that elevate them? The celebrity endorsements?
I'm baffled by the amount of press the Tudor Black Bay Navy is getting within the watch community. It just looks like another diver to me in a different color. What is the appeal here? I'm asking from a genuine curiosity into a brand that I know very little about. Is the quality you get for that price what sets it apart? Is it different than other Tudor's? What makes it so interesting compared to other divers in the same price category?
I'm here to learn.
