They probably used to be for a long time.. More recently though I see them as a capable prestige brand in their own right.. As much so as anything else in their category.

I respect that. What models jump out to you as being unique to them that sets them as being their own brand (I’ve re-read the question, it may sound like I’m asking sarcastically but I’m not, I want to see a picture of a model that says…this is where Tudor began its journey to being its own brand, like every brand has their ‘signature’ piece…Accutron, Moonwatch etc).

Well, I’m obviously quite fond of the Heritage Chrono, as I bought 2 of them in different colours.. I’ve never for a moment thought of them as a Diet Daytona 🤔 I love Rolex, I have 3 of them, and could have easily had a Daytona for the price of my gold 40mm Day-Date.. but I prefer the unique style and superior legibility of the Tudor chronographs.
I’m not saying some people don’t buy them as a happy compromise because they can’t have the Rolex they really want.. but I think the same applies to many different watches and brands, not just Tudor.
