I have nothing against Tudor and for those who have watches from the brand, that's great.

Having said that, I truly believe if they weren't related to Rolex, people would think of Oris, Longines, Norqain and maybe some Breitling as the tier Tudor is in. They are an approved homage brand to their big brother. Nothing at all wrong with that, not at all, but people think they go against Omega and some even go so far as to think they are even better than Omega. That has to be, in large part, due to it's relationship with Rolex.

I think that some Tudor owners have been drawn to Tudor due to it's association with Rolex. To me I think of Tudor as Rolex's brother , I think that because they are owned by the same company, the parent demands the name be upheld. Tudor is high quality, but many people do not place it on par with Rolex. I am totally ok with that, Is a Pelagos at 50% the cost of a Submariner at retail, and maybe 40% of the Submariner at Grey prices a good choice? I say Yes.

It is Diet Rolex for three reasons: 1) It has only reached such high favor in 10 years because watch buyers want SOMETHING on their wrists that is associated with the all mighty Rolex; 2) Tudor will NEVER be allowed to have better specs or finishing than its bigger brother; 3) You may like the Tudors, but deep down, you really wanted the Rolex.

I prefer Tudor. Rolex is boring. Tudor does the things Rolex wishes they could.
When a man is right a man is right. A 925 bb and Pelagos fxd are more compelling to me than anything in what feels like an antiquated and stodgy Rolex catalog. I don’t even like current Rolex as much as 20 years ago Rolex. I don’t even understand current Rolex at all. They’re all overly shiny and missing that toolish cool factor that they were supposed to be the best at.
