This is like asking is Toyota or Lexus better?
Both can you from point A to point B safely. But the passenger will be delighted for extra comfort , classy , and luxury from Lexus.

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

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..

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.

With the new Tudor movement (in which is a new Rolex unpublished in-house movement), Tudor will come out strong and compete in young people market.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

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.

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.

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 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?
Post by: psychokandy on March 31, 2018, 09:59:57 PM
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?In Malaysia most general public would still think Tudor is a poor man’s Rolex or they would comment as no value retention etc.

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:

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.

In my opinion if you already owned a Rolex but like Tudor there is no harm owning both brands.

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

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.
Post by: spayre on July 04, 2018, 06:43:52 PM
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...

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.
