In Search Of The Perfect Submariner: Rolex 16613 & 1680 vs Tudor 79090 Watches

Рет қаралды 56,692

2 жыл бұрын

Today we take a quick road trip and compare submariners from Rolex and Tudor, in a very personal review as I try to decide on which will be my next big purchase for 2021.
Join me as I explore the historic USS New Jersey, enjoy Italian food in Philadelphia, and take a deep dive into the history, evolution, positives and negatives of two outstanding Submariners from each brand. How does my current Tudor 79090 compare to the two-tone Rolex 16613, aka the "Bluesy"? Or the equivalent ref. 1680 from Rolex? And of course, the modern ceramic ref. 116610LN which I formerly owned?
Is it time to upgrade? Or are Submariners no longer as cool as they once were? Why do I prefer vintage over new Subs? And is it perhaps time to trade it all in for the Yachtmaster 126622, which I reviewed last year?
Join me for a Submariner special, and where better than in the Submariner’s natural environment-which also happens to be one of the most legendary battleships of all time!

I’m so happy to weigh in here! As an owner of a 16613 “bluesy” since 1998, I can say that over all the years of my watch collecting it is not only the Rolex I have hung on to the longest, but the watch in general I have kept for the greatest time. In my over 25 years of collecting, I have owned 6 Rolexes and 2 Tudors. The two tone submariner is the only one I have kept, and with good reason....It does it all. I got married wearing it. (Twice, actually!) It has been on every single vacation I’ve taken since I have purchased it. I wear it when I am doing yardwork and I wore it last year to my nieces wedding (while wearing a suit). There’s no environment where it just doesn’t look perfect. My wife, who doesn’t really know much about watches or cares about them, has asked me to never sell it because she just loves the way it looks. That kind of appeal just doesn’t come along every day, and that should speak volumes. Thanks so much, Tristano, for another insightful and masterfully crafted review.

A couple of things, TGV. First off, the mics sound excellent! Secondly, I think the Tudor is the right choice over the bluesy sub. I completely agree with all of your observations of the two watches. I'd pick the Tudor for myself too!

I feel the Yacht-Master does the luxury Submariner feel, look better than 2-tone or precious metal Subs do. Aesthetically more striking, different with variety of materials, sizes, and that bezel, while lux Subs are more uniform while coming across as rarefied classics. Tongue-in-cheek summation: the person in the Yacht-Master owns the boat; the person in the Submariner pilots it around for them.

Great video - I believe in a beautiful watch for all occasions.. for me, that's my Bluesy 16613 (1996 made) - I'd prefer the newer adjustable clasp, but I also love the vintage. As an Aussie - I dress pretty casual most of the time so it often features with shorts & t-shirt but my Bluesy takes any outfit up a level.

For some reason that transition felt genious, quite cinematic. When you finished talking whilst facing the ship, before boarding, into slow speech about Rolex, and with music in the background. Really well done, the only thing better would have been some slow serious classical tune, instead of the funky Jazz. !

I have owned a 16613 since 1998. I had it cleaned at Rolex (CH) last year for about $1000. As a daily driver, I purchased a Steeldive SD1953 (green with ceramic green bezel, with lume of face and bezel, sapphire crystal, Seiko NH35A) for $99. Upgraded the bracelet to a fully brushed, solid link, machined adjustable clasp, for $27 from AliExpress. What a terrific watch and a real "steal" for the money. Sure, it isn't a Rolex. But damn...it is still an excellent watch and something much less prone to scratch, given the ceramic bezel. It is also fairly accurate (@21.6 kbps) relative to the far superior Rolex mechanism (28.8 Kbps). I wear the Rolex to work, occasionally. However, the SD1953 is on my wrist much more often.

Dear TGV, Another enjoyable installment sir. My 6yo son and I always look forward to the YT notification, and we watch the show together. I always enjoy these outing videos, how you blend something a little different such as sight seeing, very fun. And then blending the days activities to the context of the watch. Then finallly the edit and narration brings it all together with the watch details in various ways - a fun episode. Kind Regards, Dean. PS. My choice would be the Tudor also, for the same reasons, a little off the radar, knowing you have something different.

In my view the Rolex sub didn’t become a luxury watch in 1969 it was the 80’s and 90’s when that happened. The gold one was Luxury but a Date window doesn’t make it a luxury watch. Just more practical for those who work in Maritime.

As a boy in the 80s, I fell in love with the bluesy plastered all over national geographic mags while visiting drs, dentists, science class. It was such a special time in my life. In 2019, I went into the AD with choice of blue or blk tt. The blue won me over. It takes a special person to embrace the bluesy. I could daily it no problem. It's the perfect fuck off timepiece. Hahaha My favorite watch in the entire Rolex lineup.

I haven't watched one of your videos in ages TGV, its good to be back!! I love the blue dial Sub, but I agree for every day wear the Tudor Sub is a much better choice. A little fun fact about the USS New Jersey. In the late 90's it was docked here in Bremerton WA (my hometown) at the navel ship yard. It left on September 11, 1999. My dad and my grandfather took me to the beach to watch the USS New Jersey leave Bremerton. I was 8 years old at the time and I loved it as any 8 year old would.

the two tone blue was my grail for many years. a friend had the irs knocking at his door so he offered it to me at a good price. i didn’t think i should spend the money on such an extravagance but my wife had some money stashed and she bought it for me for graduating the correctional academy. i wore it quite a bit but was a little nervous out in public. so i wore it while working the yard at san quentin. my post was the main thoroughfare to go to the cellblocks. the inmates had to pass me to get to the lower yard and the education and religious services. needless to say i got a lot of looks from staff and inmates alike. the inmates knew what it was and one asked me why i would wear such a watch at work. i told him it’s one of the safest places i could wear it. he laughed and said i was probably right. i wore it for many years until i found a used fortis flieger in new orleans. my tastes had changed. one thing about the rolex is the enamel is flaking of the dial to where it’s about 75% gone. it’s gold underneath and looks like the gold dial version. i’m sure it’s the same without the enamel and with the jewels instead.

My husband has a 1995 steel no date Rolex Sub and I adore that watch. So last year I decided I wanted one for myself. I was torn between the steel no date and blue two tone… I had my concerns that it might be too flashy for my style. I went to Rolex boutique to decide. They happened to have a steel date Sub and one two tone black there waiting for pick up. I shit you not, when I tried on the black two tone my heart skipped a beat. It is too gorgeous. So I got myself the two tone black and it makes me smile every time I look at it. I am currently on waitlist for the steel no date 😅 I refuse to pay grey market prices. No way. I will happily wait a few years. I’ve been tempted to get the Tudor instead, but I doubt I will be completely happy with it.

Actually got to watch this one at home for once, TGV!!! Absolutely wonderful! To start off, let me begin by letting you know that the audio/video gear performed quite well👍. I cannot tell you how relieved I am you decided to keep the Tudor!!! I do hope you get your YachtMaster. I think it would suit you well. Personally, I plan on a blue dial SkyDweller in a few years....but that will be my last Rolex probably for many if the same reasons you stated regarding the Yachty. I love the Bluesy, and as a Navy man the two tone colors with the blue and gold just screams Navy At the same time it is just a bit too flash and loud. I would take the Tudor all day everyday. It is a more enjoyable piece for more occasions. I would also keep the Tudor even once you get the YachtMaster. Don't sell it. It isn't repetitious and you have built up a great personal history with it. Fantastic video. It was really enjoyable watching you crawl around a ship. I spent many a night in that bottom rack and did indeed witness someone knock themselves cold out on a top rack! Glad to see you out and about and doing well. Thanks for what you do. Fantastically good as always. Thank you. The whole family enjoyed it. Onward and upward, my friend!!

Good choice sticking with the Tudor and great relaxing vibe on your channel 👍

I was crazy about the Tudor Black Bay '58 until I got my hands on my Sinn 144. Now my desire for the Tudor has disappeared. My Sinn doesn't look like anything everyone else is wearing and I love that.

Great vid TGV, I love your rationale for choosing the 79090. Couldn’t agree more. Fairly new to watches and thought I’d want / deserve a Rolex for my 50th birthday present to self, but I don’t think I’m really a Rolex guy 😂. Off to the online shops to keep an eye out for a TDR. Hope your enthusiasm has rocketed the prices too high!!

Nice video! For the money, I'd rather get the Glashütte Original SeaQ 1-39-11-10-90-34. It has everything I want in a high end diver.

Great video TGV. Battleships are awesome. Stop by the USS Midway if you're ever in San Diego. A watch for the tour and a watch for the lunch. Doesn't get any better than that. Ciao for now.

Hi Urban, love the channel. What do you make of the Tudor Heritage Ranger? I’m thinking that may be right up your alley. BR

Prefer the Tudor but the star of this video is the production and presentation of the content. Superb as always TGV.

You should go for it, I own as a wadding gift of my wife, is my favourite watch, the blue face color is unique, there is no other Rolex with the same blue... Rolex change the blue and the printing for white for the 2021 model...you going to regret it if you don't go for it TGV...😉

I can’t say I am a fan of Rolex in general, but I’m a big fan of that yacht master. Always love your content TGV!

From Philly, it's amazing how the "Big J" absolutely engulfs the Camden waterfront.
