Which one is better Tudor or Rolex
-
This is like asking is Toyota or Lexus better?
-
You’ll know when come to resell ...

Both can you from point A to point B safely. But the passenger will be delighted for extra comfort , classy , and luxury from Lexus.
-
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..
-
Some ppl buy watch follow by own heart,not by brain....You like it then just buy it....So resale value or goreng business purpose not concerned with me....Hehe....

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:

Totally agreed.....

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.
-
Obviously the crown is better than rose.
-
i just got a tudor black bay bronze... and use the apps to check the accuracy of the watch.. turn out to be +0.0 a day.. OMG.. can't believe it on my own eye.. haha.. love the watch so far..
-
that's an excellent accuracy.
i check mine with toolwatch app and my BB (eta) is +1.5 spd which is really good.
-
Definitely Rolex will be better in term of value and reputation of the brand
-
Rolex for sure
-
Both are good watches that targeted difference segment. You may read through the link below to find out the difference.

rolex is my vote definitely
-
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.

As said before, both are good options depending on own preference. Buy what u like, not to be influenced by others. The latest tudor offerings in baselworld 2018 makes me drooling though especially the black bay gmt and 58. ::)

Rolex is very conservative while Tudor is beong known for probing the water with their designs.
Both are equally good and main difference is resale value.
Remember both brands belongs to the same company and they both are serviced by the same Service Centre with equal craftsmanship and attention to details.
The choice is yours.

Anyway, I still prefer Rolex :D

I have not met anyone who has ever regretted buying a Rolex instead of a Tudor .... my humble opinion ;)

Lol, you nailed it. You never actually owned a Rolex sports timepiece, you're merely baby-sitting it for a fee for the next buyer.

I would say buy what you like. It’s your watch after all. In Malaysia most general public would still think Tudor is a poor man’s Rolex or they would comment as no value retention etc.
Based on my experience I like my Tudor as much as I like my Rolex. Tudor build quality is very good and worth the value you paid for.

I personally think Rolex is better than Tudor in terms of resale value. For daily wear and for any occasion, Tudor is fine.

I see the arguments going to and fro, probably because the question was worded wrongly right from the start. Rolex and Tudor does not have similar sports watches in the same price bracket. Tudor was created to cater to a market that would be attracted to its more affordable entry price, along with more contemporary design and varieties in materials used; whom could be groomed to upgrade to Rolex given time and higher disposable income. I mean, take the RM15k Pelagos and compare to to the RM35k SubDate; and Pelagos owners could argue that it has deeper WR, titanium construction, came with both bracelet and rubber strap (Rolex owners have to pay RM1k for the RubberB), and an in-house movement unlike the basic ETA days. All boiling to the value-for-monies arguments. They are simply marketed to the different crowd.
Just as Oris diver watch owners would argue for the same, against the Tudor's.
Look at the discounts associated with both these brands. If you were a casual customer, you could walk into an AD and ask for discount on a SubDate and be laughed at. Similarly, ask for a discount on the in-house movement Pelagos and you get 15% if they intend to move the stock. In fact, Cortina recently did a clearance on the ETA-based Pelagos at massive discounts. You could see lots of owners flipping it thereafter in the market, and all the warranty cards would be from Cortina.
If Tudor could control its ADs from giving out outrageous discounts to move the stock, then it may gain a sounder footing in the mid-level luxury watch market. Just see what Omega did in taking back the brand from the external ADs, and now in stricter control on its discount policies. It is now moving up-market.
In both their differing price points, both Rolex and Tudor are great watches. You just can't compare an apple to an orange, and say that one of them is better than the other, right?

Yup, you hit all the right button. They are for different target market. Look at all the ambassadors they are engaging now, look at the GMT they are churning out now. Its for the masses to buy before they upgrade. Which casual customer could ever walk in and walk out with a SS BLRO in the next 5 years?
BTW, I am not saying Tudor is a better watch than Rolex, I am saying its worth the value you're paying for. Don't expect a 15k watch to be better than a 35k watch right?

Maybe that was ML's intention in the first place ;) ... ask a vague question and get everyone throwing in their views ... some more passionately than others.

Tudor vs Rolex
1. Movement : ETA/unpublished Rolex movement vs Rolex.
2. Material : 316L SS vs 904 SS / Gold.
3. Price : Tudor is about 3x lower than Rolex.
4. Accuracy : overall performance in normal and extremely harsh environment, Rolex is better than Tudor.
5. Model/Design Changes: Fast vs Slower.
6. Ambassador: David Beckham/Lady Gaga (Young and Pop) vs Ana Inanovic/Anoushka Shankar/Placido Domingo (Mature, beautiful and classic)
Well , trying to summarize all relevant points to ease the buying decision - Tudor vs Rolex ! :laugh:

Tudor is owned by Rolex (correct me if i am wrong) so its a quality watch. But the designs veer more towards the younger crowd. So it really depends which design you like :). Oh yeah, and the resale ain't comparable to Rolex :Cheers:
-
when they are selling a GMT under usd4,000, how bad can the resale be?

Rolex for sure :thumbsup:
-
my wrist is abt 57/58mm, so for me, its pretty hard to get a suitable Rolex unless go for Deepsea 44mm or SD 43mm but that is over what im willing to spend. After trying the Tudor Pelagos with 42mm, started to love the watch, & the price tag is anytime below 20k. so try both if you can afford both.
-
Both are good watches. I would prefer Rolex!
-
Rolex !!! :)
-
Both are good watch from same parent company (Rolex) with different target market.
The dilemma is when you own a Tudor, it can somehow influence you to own Rolex in the future. The model more or less the same with different price range. This is how good the marketing strategy. But end game would always be Rolex.
Conclusion: if you could direct buy for Rolex, it would be better.
However, if you decide to buy for Tudor, it allow you to appreciate other watch or branch within the price range. It is a WIS journey. As most i know once they have Rolex, they rarely or seldom go/look back. They will only go higher.
-
Tudor but then again it's personal preference. Design and style and all, it all depends on the person!
-
Tudor is owned by Rolex but it isn't a Rolex. I feel there is no comparison as Rolex and Tudor has totally different target market.
In my opinion if you already owned a Rolex but like Tudor there is no harm owning both brands.
After all there people only have good things to say about Tudor company.

Bump for Rolex haha!

Tudor and rolex are sister companies like what Lexus is to Toyota. Many of the parts are actually the same used between the two brands. As such from a personal view you can get rolex type quality from a Tudor watch without the branding. But if you're concerned with the "poor mans" rolex who are you really buying the watch for? Don't get me wrong though, I'm totally caught up in the rolex aura as well but from the Tudor line, the pelagos and black bay line of watches are ones I'll take over any standard sub. The root beer Tudor and aged lume dials at the price point are too good for me to ignore.

I have Tudor, Rolex. Rolex parts is manufacturer exclusive for Rolex bro. Not share with Tudor. Don't stop at vintage era... Besides you can't get a Rolex quality in a Tudor.
If you not believe me, For more information if you want clarify pls call Rolex Malaysia at 03-20722705 ! You know what I means
-
i have a couple of tudors (s&g, bronze, pelagos LHD) and one rolex. If you ask me which is better, it would still be rolex
-
for me I buy for the heritage value. one day pass it over to my child or anyone. so resale value is not really an issue.
so in my opinion tudor is far more superior in term of design. young and energetic. rolex is more towards old people taste.

i only have one tudor. was my wedding watch.
what can i say:
1) i like its looks a lot
2) i like the solid quality it provides - very similar to rolex
3) i like the heft and feel and weight of it - gives that feeling of quality
4) hasnt broken down yet in over 5 years of aggressive wear
5) its more affordable (well thats relative, i could barely afford it back then)
since i cant afford a rolex i dont mind the tudor at all.
-
based on the current situation, rolex would have the higher prestige, brand and recognition. many of the sports model of rolex are getting harder to acquire (at retail price), as compared to tudor...
will tudor get to where rolex is in the next 5 years? maybe... but if that happens, rolex will still have the higher recognition as it is hard to imagine rolex brand to suffer when there is a strong demand and fan base...

Tudor seems affordable whereas Rolex is controlling the stock supply and grey market is offering sky price these days.
-
If given a choice, I would go for a rolex.

Get a Rolex if ur budget allows. Very likely no regrets ;D
However Tudor built is super solid, even for the entry levels. They really keep QC close to it's much superior sibling. Bang for buck !!
-
I started collecting from Jun 2018. Both brands are very appealing to me. I buy what I like with some influence on potential resale value. While Rolex fetches a far better resale value, Tudor is really value for money. So far, I have purchased 4 Rolex and 4 Tudor. Only on par in quantity but value is about 80:20. For me, 4 to 5 pieces of Tudor will suffice and as such, the ratio of Rolex should increase over time.

Both is good watch, buy within budget only

Which one is better Tudor or Rolex
Tudor GMT has date issue, I will suggest you go for Rolex GMT if budget allow. :thumbsup:

Personally I like the Tudor. Nothing against Rolex. Just feel its for people who just doesnt know much about watches but just wants a luxury watch that is recognizable.
-
I think it is up to your budget expectation. Some tudor are as equally good looking as a rolex

I owned both Tudor & Rolex....both has the beauty of its own.....as a watch lover I don't bother what high class low class.....most important is you like it or is it suitable for you or not in terms of looks & budget.......

Both are good watches but one has more obvious brand snobbery than the other.
A Rolex can cost twice as much (or more) as a Tudor. Maybe the question should be which one can I afford?
Always remember the law of diminishing return i.e. a 100k watch is not twice as good as a 50k watch.
