Are you referring to value for money?

Rolex price though is high may not be value for money. Tudor could have better chance of price uptrend, perhaps undervalue now.

Have owned both Tudor & Rolex....Just love both of them......All brand also have the style of their own.....Watches can't compared to car in details/functionality.....Just buy which caught your eyes & you like it ...most importantly meet your budget.....Always be your own style & follow your heart will do....

For me Rolex is going down the safe and proven road.. in terms of design & tech such as materials, designs etc..

Tudor for me is more like an experimental platform for Rolex.. by no means in a bad way... they experiment on materials & built structure & design ... (its in line with their tagline : Born to dare)

Rolex has its proven resale value & tudor will give you features that are bang for your buck & top notch quality ! Example is their Pelagos with titanium case & bracelet.. ceramic bezel.. in house robust movement... 72h power reserve...

Its like apple and orange... both segmented to different audience.. both are great watches..

Just buying a watch that have a better resale value doesn't construed that u really like the watch
or it's design . U buy it merely for its resale value or u like the watch?
Imagined  owning 10 watches all under the same brand .  :Confused:

Tudor has better value, Rolex has better resale value.

But both actually as good as each other in my opinion. In terms of design and robustness as well as reliability. The only difference in both is PRESTIGE. Nothing else.

Tudor is cheap, Rolex is expensive. Buy what you can buy and buy what you like. For me, I can’t compare between those 2 brands. In my case, I didn’t even think about Tudor before purchase my Rolex, I do acknowledge Tudor is owned by Rolex and some of their model looks almost the same, but hey, I am buying a luxury watch here, the watch should have some sort of emotion tied with me, or else I don’t even have to consider to buy a six figure watch, I have my phone that can tell me time. Call me a brand loyalty freak, my friend always ask me why do I spent 6 figure on Rolex as you can opt for AP or PP at that price, but my emotion wasn’t tied with them. A Ferrari is a Ferrari, not just a point A to point the B device. The same goes to luxury watch.

Buy what you like. In Asia's general mainstream perspective, Tudor is considered as poor man's Rolex. But i do like their BB, Pelagos, NF. I owned a Black Bay, Sub and GMT2. I think Tudor has good value proposition. Quality built with affordable price. They are what Rolex used to be...."affordable" tool watch.

I think that both brands have managed to different themselves substantially. Having added into my collection watches such as DJ, Eii, Sub and SDc from Rolex, and BB and Pelagos from Tudor, I would say that the Rolex pieces were more classic and established pieces while Tudor's gave more bang-for-buck and experimented with modern materials and designs. So both could co-exist in one's collection. A bridge between both these brands, would be Omega pieces.

My take to Tudor is that it's used to be an ETA movement watch with Rolex standard quality control. This makes Tudor watch is less pricey and inevitably people viewing Tudor is a "second" graded watch to Rolex.

With the new Tudor movement (in which is a new Rolex unpublished in-house movement), Tudor will come out strong and compete in young people market.

Hope Tudor success in this round of strategy change.

I feel it all boils down to preference. I like them both but I'm a Tudor kinda guy as their watches suits my personality and lifestyle.
Plus, I do not need any unnecessary attention on my wrist from the people I deal with so a Tudor works well and I like their campaigns.

Funny about these marketing campaigns. I used to be a fan of Tudor with their BB, Pelagos, and Monte Carlo striking my fancy enough to be added into my collection. But over the years, with their recent brand ambassadors in the form of Lady Gaga and other fashionable pop icons, had me more interested to add up to move upstream to Rolex with their more established pieces and ambassadors. I used to think that those adverts would not really sway one's opinions on the brands and models; but perhaps am just getting old. While I may listen to Lady Gaga, I certainly wouldn't want to be associated with her sense of fashion and the likes.
