Tudor Watches

Post by lunarin79 » 16 Jan 2013 12:22

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.

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?

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.

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.

+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.

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.

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.
