So, is Tudor Rolex's puppet? I truthfully don't know...but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility! Today the boys dive into some fresh topics and sweaty shirts and get going. First things first they talk about Tudor's new black bay 58 bronze (with a full bronze band). Right after they dive into some enamel dialed Pateks and Christian explains where and why he'd wear them. THEN believe it or not they talk about some vintage wristwatches (Omega). After the little vintage train passes by they talk about Casio's newest G-Shock collaboration with none other than Budweiser! Finally they talk about if Tudor is a puppet or not. Is Rolex pulling the strings? Does Tudor have Omega in their sights?

Without Rolex being the big brother, Tudor goes against the likes of Oris and Tag Heuer. They wouldn't even be mentioned to be in competition for Omega. Even taking into account Rolex affiliation, Tudor is more of a Breitling competitor. This isn't a knock on Tudor watches at all, very nice watches, but still...

@Archfiend88 3 жыл бұрын

Which is even sadder cause if you give me the choice between a black bay 58 & a B01 chronomat or premier, I’m choosing the premier. And I like the black bay, but you put Tudor’s catalog side by side with Breitling and Tudor comes up short as a competitor.

And if your average consumer does not hear about it, it is not reaching the majority of the masses. As far as them being able to surpass Omega, it is like Christian said, if Tudor starts to over time increase their prices as Rolex did years back then they are just following suit. I personally feel to beat Omega they need to undercut them. Nobody will beat Rolex at their own game and Omega is chasing Rolex, but if Tudor chases Omega... it will all fall behind Rolex.

I tried to buy a new Rolex (in Taipei) last month to commemorate a significant promotion at work, unfortunately I literally couldn’t get one. Tried the ADs to no avail. Only grey market dealers had them, and the mark up was insane, also I didn’t really trust some of them. In the end I bought a vintage Rolex (for a fraction of the price), because that’s all that was available, from a trustworthy store in Taipei, too. Rolex missed out on a sale, but I still bought a Rolex, and I saved money… I could have bought a new Grand Seiko or Tudor from the ADs and boutiques in Taipei as they had stock, but I didn’t want a watch that I only bought because I couldn’t buy a Rolex.

I live in a country that may get taken over by an authoritarian outside regime, if that is the case I might need to sell said watch, either here or abroad. A vintage Rolex holds more value on the secondhand market than a GS or Tudor, if one is realistic. Due to the pandemic causing trouble in Taiwan (with no real state support for businesses), I got a very good deal as a cash buyer, especially if I need to sell in England, as vintage Rolexes have jumped in value there over the past year and a half. The other issue is that Tudor is a poor man’s Rolex (I didn’t want to buy one and feel “what if?”), and my wife cannot understand why I’d pay so much for a glorified Seiko 5!

I feel like T and H might be the only “journalists” with the balls to call out watch manufacturers where they have messed up. Tudor for example, the 925 silver Black Bay. In their press release they float that they have come up with an alloy that “use does not affect the appearance of the case of the Black Bay Fifty-Eight 925” inferring that it won’t tarnish like normal 925 silver. However now a lot of owners barely months into ownership are get some horrendous tarnishing. Which is fine IF Tudor didn’t try and brag that they had come up with something special. HODINKEE, Fratello , Bark and Jack etc are have a vested interest in kissing ass but I think Christian could step on toes. I like that. Complete respect.

@PeteMcConvill 3 жыл бұрын

The fundamental error in this entire analysis in the idea that the US and the world is the same thing. Tudor WAS NOT reintroduced to the world with the blackbay - just the US. The blackbay does not define tudor, it is a niche product for the west. Tudor is, mainly, the royal, the glamour, the 1926 etc - these comprise the vast majority of world wide tudor sales. Rolex has significant influence over the US market as a result of the how rolex and tudor are seen in that very specific market. (note - rolex is huge everywhere, its really the tudor side of this discussion that is fatally flawed). Say after me, the US is not the world.

Budweiser isn't beer!

Sending Tudor to handle Omega is such a savage boss move. A loud b!tchslap across the face. The simple fact that we are having this conversation is even more of a boss move brilliantly orchestrated. Rolex has bullied their way into the "Trinity" hierarchy. Man, I would I love to be a fly on the wall of Rolex's board room meetings. I picked up the Bud Casio. My old man had every xmas mug from Bud since 1980. My first beer was a Bud. His bar had vintage Bud lights signs, even a cool 5ft Hamms lighted sign with a rotatating camping scene. His stuff came out of actual bars. I had to get it because of him. It's a fun Summer piece that reminds me of the good times shared. And it looks like a 1980 promo watch I'd find in a dusty, musty, rusty, antique shop for $5. hahaha

yes, taking the watch to a jeweller frequently to remove tarnish is a big deal. no one wants the hassle of doing that frequently and losing the watch for a week, ridiculous. bronze is nothing more than a gimmick in wrist watches, will avoid like the plague!

If Tudor made more watches 10 to 12 mm thickness they would pass omega

Seriously. Their Tudor GMT is top heavy and is a slab. Once Tudor fixes their thickness issue and case dimensions, then we have a more viable Omega competitor.

Tudor can't compete with Omega, the only watch Tudor really sell is the black bay which is getting boring now. Tudor is competing with Longines, Who make far more interesting watches than Tudor.
