Tudor is just Diet Rolex

I was chatting with a friend, and of course we discussed time pieces, the obvious subject of Rolex vs. Omega came up (we happen to love both, and have pieces from both brands), but somehow he asked me about the Pelagos.
I know the history of Tudor, but it is not a brand that I have bought before (the Harrods looks very cool, would I buy it? No.) so I said ‘hmm not sure never had it on wrist…’
To which his response was ‘I don’t blame you, Tudor is just a diet Rolex.’
I do see the similarity in case and dial designs…and of course the history behind Tudor, but where do you stand on Tudor, is it a diet Rolex? Or is it its own brand with its own style, and history?

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.

Tudor is on par with Omega

I am trying to think about the last time when i let other people's choices in clothes/accesories/cars affect my own decisions. I think i may have been 14. I think all people are affected by other people choices all the time. Subconsciously or consciously.

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.

I prefer Tudor. Rolex is boring. Tudor does the things Rolex wishes they could.

The Pelagos 39 and Black Bay Pro were two of the most well-received releases last year.

I see Tudor as kinda what Rolex used to be. These days every jerk in Silicon Valley has a Rolex. AD's treat you like sh*t, the flexing wearing them, etc. Not really the case with Tudor.

I do like Rolex watches but I'm just really turned off by the whole thing recently.

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.

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.
