Tudor BEATS Rolex with Best Watch of 2021

The Rolex Daytona is that one watch you’re probably the most sick of hearing about, but even so, its popularity is not unjustified. It is the quintessential sports chronograph, rising from the ashes to become one of the most sought-after watches of all time. It seems nothing can take the fight to Rolex and the Daytona from Omega, Breitling or any other competitor-but what about a watch costing a third of the price from its own junior brand, Tudor? This is: Tudor BEATS Rolex with Best Watch of 2021.

Being a watch person comes down to your heart. Once you love a watch, these comparisons means nothing in the long run. If you buy the alternative, eventually you’ll want the one you originally wanted. Having said that, Rolex never captured my heart. I own a Tudor and am very happy with it. I also own a Panerai cuz of how it captured my heart. Sure, we study the details and appreciate those, but the heart is what it boils down to

To set the record straight, as someone who was involved in “wristwatch” collecting (you had to mention that back then because the majority of watch collectors collected pocket watches), the Zenith Daytona had a waiting list from the moment it was introduced. Premiums were considered absolutely a crazy thing, but they started almost from the beginning of the 16520 launch. The older 4 digit Daytonas were considered old fashioned and it wasn’t really until around 1996/97 that they started selling for more than the Zenith Daytonas. My grail back then was the white dialed Daytona. While I don’t have my earlier Daytonas any longer, my 116500LN Panda is hardly ever off my wrist.

The date complication tipped me to buying the Tudor chrono. It’s something I use every day, and I miss it every time I wear my BB58 so it was so easy to make the choice on this one. Love the video comparison !! I made the exact same comparison before making the choice to purchase my Tudor Chrono

IMO 1. I feel that the Tudor Chronograph is much more a "Mens" watch compared to the Daytona which fits small-mid wrist. 2. The price tag of the Daytona does not make sense at all (even if you can get itat retail) 3. The 2 sub dials is so much nicer compared to the 3 sub dials of the Daytona. 4. The Daytona will definitely always look newer in years to come compared to the Tudor Chronograph due to the ceramic bezel (but if you like patina, that's a different story)

@sylinmino 2 жыл бұрын

Wholly disagree on Point 2 if you're talking retail. Can you even name a single other chronograph in that price range or below that even comes close to the Daytona? - The Speedy Moonwatch is not ceramic, no precious metal in the SS version, not as accurate, smaller power reserve, shorter service interval, way worse bracelet, and it's thicker and bigger. - Seamaster Chronos are all ridiculously big it's insane. - The Zenith CMS has worse service interval, worse bracelet, worse PR, is thicker and bigger, and doesn't have screwdown pushers for WR. - The Grand Seiko sports chronos are all ridiculously enormous and super thick and have worse bracelets - Breitling Navitimer is not nearly as nice in the finishing or specs. - And then even looking above its price, the AP Chronos don't even match the Daytona's sports specs. Current market value for the Daytona is stupid, but do not sleep on retail value of it because it's still unmatched.

So happy that this video was made. I'm in exactly the same situation as Andrew. I bought a BB58 SS gilt and black dial last year. At the same time, I also put my name down on AD list for the BB Chrono Panda Dial, resigned to knowing I'll never afford a Daytona. However I have a small niggling reservation. If/when I get the call, I wonder if I'll unbox the watch and think it's too thick/top heavy. Remaining proportions seem managable but the thickness.. esp compared to the normal BB58 worries me. I have a 6.5" wrist. I also need decide if I sell my BB58 and put the cash towards the Chrono or, do I have a need for both.... too many decisions. Loved the video. Keep up the amazing work. The open mic sessions with Tom are so refreshing!! 👌

Great video. I own a recent sub and a bb58. What you said about these 2 definitely resonated with me. But between the bb chrono and the daytona I feel there’s no comparison (to my eye, or in my heart) as the bb chrono is far too thick and bulky to turn me away from my true love (one day, maybe)

@sharche5762 2 жыл бұрын

It is a good watch but too thick and bulky, tried in AD. Daytona is 2+ mm thinner, Breitling premier chrono is also 1+ mm thinner. If Tudor have 58 chrono in 39/40mm size, 13mm thick, it will be great.

Tudor is a tremendous value for a B01 for 2K less than Breitling but it's thick like Omega's chrono, the Daytona 4130 is slim and sits perfectly snug on the wrist. Other chronos are very nice but Daytona is an icon.

I'll wait a few more years and see if they trim some of the weigh, add that new quick adjustment clasp that they used on the BB Bronze. About the Daytona, I believe we would all buy one at retail, but I can't convince myself to pay over retail for it. Just my take, but to those who decide to do it. Enjoy with good health and love.

It's a more causal watch whereas my steel and gold Daytona is more dressier. But the Daytona runs longer and is easy more accurate. I do like this Tudor with its retro style, it's just too big for me. Nice review.

As much as I LOVE my Daytona, it spends more time in the watch box than on my wrist. I wore it for a few months when my Explorer II was at the watchmaker due to a seal failing and water getting into it, and I didn’t realize how much I relied on my watch for the date complication. I can’t tell you how many times I looked at my wrist while wearing the Daytona only to get more and more upset with the date not being there like on my Explorer. The Rainbow Daytona has always been my grail watch, but after spending more time with the Daytona on my wrist I am rethinking that. This Tudor might be a good choice as a Daytona replacement.

The Tudor has a killer utilitarian/toolish look that puts the flashy Daytona to shame. I wish it was 40mm wide by 13mm thick, but I hope to soon find out how it wears since I'm currently waiting for my panda and obviously the AD did not have one for me to try on before I ordered it. I do agree with you that the previous generation of rolexes (5 digit) are better than the 6 digit references, I have owned 2 subs, and the combination of ceramic bezels and beefier cases on the new ones turns me off. If I could afford the Daytona I would probably go for a black dial/steel bezel, and the fist thing I would do is have the polished center links, bezel and lug hoods brushed. I hate the polished flashy parts that scream "look at me".

For reference purposes, does anyone know the circumference of Watchfinder's wrist? Good review and great images. If offered at the same price, I'd pick the Daytona between the two shown here. Conversely, if the Tudor BB58 and Rolex Submariner (current iteration) were offered at the same price, I'd take the Tudor... comparing to the previous Sub, that would be a tough call but would likely go to the older Sub.

Seems nuts but it appears to be the way it is for now.

Perhaps there is a touch of deja vu in this presentation -when I purchased my Tudor Submariner 76100 in the early '80's I remember looking at the Tudor 9420 (oyster case, date complication, automatic winding) and the Rolex Daytona ( manual wind watch with no date complication). The Tudor used a variation of the Valjoux 7750 while the Daytona used a Rolex modified Valjoux 727 (and adjusted to 3 positions?) . I recall the salesperson wondering out loud why the Rolex demanded such a premium (must have let his guard down as we were "talking watches" :^) ). The Tudor was rated pressure proof to 50M while the Daytona had been upgraded a few years prior (circa 1980) to 100m (from 50m I recall). As these were "drivers" or industrial engineer's watches the pressure rating seemed perfectly adequate.... The automatic movement Daytona arrived in the late '80s still without the date complication

I managed to get my hands on a Tudor panda after a 5 month wait. The AD must’ve liked me as they said it was the only one they’d seen! For me it beats the Daytona. A note about wrist size, I have very small wrists for a dude, but I have decent arm muscles and it looks great. So I kinda think all the wrist size stuff is nonsensical, it’s the arm size that makes the difference.
