Budget wise they shouldn't be too far apart, the baseline Seamaster would cost a bit more than the Tudor (not sure if u mean BB or BB 58) n I think if u r considering between the 2, it isn't an issue. I guess whats left is aesthetics and specs la. Start by going to AD n try them out. Which piece in particular really appeals to u, look at specs, look at possible maintenance cost n interval, power reserve etc. The seamaster has a clear case back, which displays its nicely finished 8800 cal movement which is a plus point vs the BB. Go to AD and try bro, thats ur best bet. u might find one to sit more comfortably than the other, or a bit thicker than the other, or some other factor that would ultimately clinch the deal. I would advise for these level of watches, get the ss bracelet option la better, then u can opt for the strap if u want. Makes it more sellable in the future when u decide to free up ur watchbox for another piece.
Thanks, you got the right analysis of the situation. Your advice are favorable to me, but still. Should i consider which hold the best resell value? or just buy the one i like the most?
Post by: ambrose0422 on January 11, 2021, 09:51:08 PM
Between the two, I like the Black Bay more for its aesthetics and fit.
I cant disagree with your statement, i like blak bay too. But somewhat Tudor already been rated as “shadow of rolex”. I just dont like how they call it.
When it comes to Omega, at least its a competitor of Rolex, and the specs vise, i just think Omega had more R&D at it.

I'm currently eyeing either the Seamaster300 or Tudor pelagos. Almost the same spec..for now Pelagos is winning with the matte colour and titanium. Not yet buy..so still have time to cont evaluating. Haha.
We are almost comparing the same watch, yea Pelagos has titanium case, but do we really need it to be that light weight? Another considerations to me, lack of ceramic bezels. Unless you wanted it to be matte????
Omega has beautiful ceramics dial and ceramic bezels, but i just dont like the stainless stell bracelet.
What a dilemma to me. By the way, what is the Pelagos retail price?
Post by: faizall on January 12, 2021, 07:38:18 AM
Exactly, the matte in pelagos is very captivating. The retail price for pelagos is around rm14k on bracelet. The Seamaster heritage line is quit intrigue too. So for now I’m not yet make any decision. PKP first. HahaI'm currently eyeing either the Seamaster300 or Tudor pelagos.

If you are always flipping watches, then value first unless money is no object.

Treat it as a collection, hence i think i could keep it for a lifetime most probably. You made my mind clearer than before, thanks.

My method is always simple...
Try the different watches on at a shop or AD but tell the salesperson that you're not going to buy today. Take a wrist shot.
Go back and browse for information or reviews and read owner's comments.
Wait a few weeks and see which watch you're always thinking of and which wrist shot you're always looking at then that's the one that sings to you.

Very sound advice :thumbsup: nothing beats being able to try the stuff on the wrist and be able to assess it physically and objectively. Also, the "inquire then walk away" routine is also kinda useful especially when you happen to be a looking at less popular brands and models that moves slowly at the AD. If you happen to drop them ur contact and ask for best price mana tau, they migh get back to u with a better offer.
Another knowledge added in mind ;)

Please give some advice, thank you
Between Omega and Tudor is indeed a hard choice, but it goes back to what are you looking for in a watch?
A. Design? For me, and again, its my own opinion but I don't really fancy the Omega Seamaster design as the helium escape value looks like another crown, versus the Tudor. Kinda breaks the symmetry with a additional crown jutting out.
B. Resell value? Generally, Omega suffers a huge cut when compared to Tudor?
C. Power reserve? I would choose Tudor as it offers 72Hours when compared to Omega 55 Hours. Longer power reserve is helpful for an automatic watch
D. Brand? Totally subjective as some prefer Omega and some prefer Tudor (poor man Rolex)
E. Warranty? I think they are the same now? As both Omega and Tudor offers 5 year
F. Materials used? I think Omega uses more fancy materials when comparing to Tudor. Tudor only has titanium in the Pelagos but the Omega has Sedna gold

I appreciated for your meticulous analysis, i actually had something in my mind, i just want to get more opinion from watch collectors. i found myself lack of the love to Pelagos, despite its made of titanium. Instead i was consider about Black Bay 36/41mm
And the Seamaster 300m, i like the design even its with the escape valve. The black dial had a busy face, might be my own problem because i cant read the time well every single time i look at it.

I've always liked the Pelagos with the blue dial. Nice feel to it, large but not heavy and the spring loaded clasp is probably more practical than the Submariner's Glidelock system. Good lume on it too. Just can't accept the snowflake hands and don't know why. Someday will come across a pre-owned one with an acceptable price to try to grow some love.

In this price range, perhaps you should factor out "resale value" -- just buy the watch that calls out to you most. It's likely going to be the one you wear most often.

Not everything that people like will suit your wrist. I had the impression that the BB58 blue would be great on my wrist too, but in reality, its the SMP300 white that gets wrist time. While the BB58 felt nice at first, I found out that it just wears too small on my wrist. Aesthetically not pleasing for me.

Sorry for the late response; but no I do not. I don't actually like NATO straps (with the exception of the BB NATO which I have used on occasion). Specifically to the SMP, I did not like the bracelet design, so I opted for the rubber. Its still the watch that arguable gets strapped on the most (even at home) these days.

Tudor Black Bay - Tool watch, understated, legendary cushion case, wears well on smaller wrist
Tudor Pelagos - Ultimate tool watch, understated but bold coz larger watch. Soft titanium easy cause fine scatches (can be polish slighty by ink eraser, or just leave it) non shiny greyish finishes, lightweight, super beautiful bezel lume.

In terms of how they wear, i have a small 16.5cm wrist. Having worn a BB41 on bracelet in rotation for the past 3 years, i always found it to be slightly top heavy for me. When Tudor switched over to the MT5602 movement, case sizes for the BB41 got thicker as well. Maybe the older slimmer ETA version would have been more suited to my wrist.
As for the SMP300, never owned one before so can't comment on wearability. Lug to lug size seemed similar to BB41 when i tried it on at boutique, but I could feel it was still less chunky than the Tudor. However, bracelet does not taper on the SMP300 as compared to the Tudor and SMP300 has micro adjustment while BB does not.
In summary, i think as long as your wrist is 5cm or wider then the BB41 would suit you well. For smaller wrists like mine, BB58 should be the way to go unless you don't mind a bit of overhang.
Maybe what I'm trying to say is, if budget permits then go for the Omega :Laughing_on_floor:

At today's full retail prices, the Omega is now 50% more expensive than the Black Bay 41. I would say bang for buck still lies with the Tudor, especially movement spec wise with the BB having 70 hours PR vs the Omega's 55.

When Tudor switched over to the MT5602 movement, case sizes for the BB41 got thicker as well. Maybe the older slimmer ETA version would have been more suited to my wrist.
As for the SMP300, never owned one before so can't comment on wearability. Lug to lug size seemed similar to BB41 when i tried it on at boutique, but I could feel it was still less chunky than the Tudor. However, bracelet does not taper on the SMP300 as compared to the Tudor and SMP300 has micro adjustment while BB does not.
In summary, i think as long as your wrist is 5cm or wider then the BB41 would suit you well. For smaller wrists like mine, BB58 should be the way to go unless you don't mind a bit of overhang.
Maybe what I'm trying to say is, if budget permits then go for the Omega :Laughing_on_floor:

Hi, i am happy that you willing to make such details comparison of this 2 watches. We have the same opinion, SMP bracelet is a deal breaker for me, and i like BB58 true to my heart. Also your green BB is crazy, love it!

i would go for the BB58, the blue,black or red you can get it for below retail price. i feel its a steal as its made and owned by the same factory that produces Rolex sport watches.
I can tell from your comment that you value Rolex quite alot ;)
