I prefer the 1st one between these 2
-
I owned the first one before but in grey and it has made way for a rolex. Between the two, i'd still say go for the first.
-
Tudor Heritage Chrono without a doubt....
-
heritage chrono in grey :thumbsup:
-
Heritage chrono.
-
the second d got bit similar like the gmt master pepsi :Cheers:
-
Heritage chrono in gray (easier to move in the future as compared to the black).
-
For dressing, I will choose the second.
For sports or casual wear, I will choose the first.
Why not choose both? They are both great and nice watch. Tudor, mah, "Rolex's cousins" or some says Rolex little brother. ;D
-
Definitely the first one. The second is a close resemblence to its cousin.
-
The 2nd one with metal bracelet looks too common - a lot of similar models around, cheap & not so cheap also got. ???
The 1st one is, IMHO, definitely better looking. ;D
Besides, I prefer non-metal straps. ;)
Take care, Ciao! :thumbsup:

Why not "sapu" 2 together?
At least put you out of your thinking cap. ;D

The two Todors here have vast different in price bracket. If $$ is not an issue, go for the chrono, if not buy two altogether....

David,

David,

Hi Chang....thanks
If $$$ is not an issue, go for the Tudor chrono - cos its takes approx. rm11k a pop.
If $$$ is an issue, go for the Tudor pepsi - cos its takes approx. rm6-7k a pop
Buy both if you love them - whether or not $$$ is an issue. Most important is whats makes you happy.....enjoys

Tudor belongs to Rolex. I'm no expert in it, but in the early days, Tudor and Rolex used to share parts as can be seen from the shape and design of the Submariner specifically. Tudor now seems to be going a more sporty route. Walk into any Rolex AD and you will see Tudor there as well (in Asia anyway, don't think Tudor is available in US or Europe). I guess that should be able to tell you how closely related they are. ;D Price wise, I believe they are about half of Rolex for similar models. Of course, this is just a rough estimate. Google around and you will get much more info on it. :thumbsup:

In 1905 Wilsdorf launched his own company in England and started producing high quality watches. Then in 1908, he registered the "Rolex" brand in La Chaux-de-Fonds Switzerland. The company remained in England fifteen years approximately and in 1920 moved to Geneva.
It was not until 1946 that Hans Wilsdorf first opened Tudor. Wilsdorf chose the name Tudor because he wanted to honor the Tudor period of England.
The Tudor watches used the Tudor Rose signed on the dial which is the heraldic emblem of England and takes its origin from the Tudor dynasty. Ending 1960's Tudor changes its famous Rose sign for the actual Shield sign.
The main difference between Rolex and Tudor could be seen already in the 40's when the first Rolex Tudor Oyster was introduced: Inside the screwed-in Oyster case, instead of a Rolex manufactured movement, there was a movement supplied by Ebauches SA, ETA.
Throughout the years, Rolex Tudor Chrono models stands out since the brand manufactures them from the beginning with valijoux movements that were modified and improved for Rolex Tudor watches (similar to those manufactured for Rolex chronographs) including exotic dials such as the Rolex Tudor Montecarlo series with diverse colors and designs.
Rolex Tudor chonograph movements evolved from manual to automatic, with deeper cases and plastic crystals.
Moreover, Rolex Tudor manufactured ladies' and men's watches with the same size as Rolex: 13mm (ladies'), 17mm (mid size), 19mm (men's date) and 20mm (men';s date just). Sport watches like the Rolex Tudor Submariner were also manufactured in black like the Rolex Submariner and also with blue dial. Throughout the years, some models such as the Rolex Tudor Ranger or the Rolex Tudor Ranger II have stood out for its outstanding arabic numbered dial on 3, 6 and 9 and the special orange hands like the Rolex Explorer II "Steeve MacQueen" and its particular dials signed in red. Other famous watches produced were the Rolex Tudor Alarm and the Rolex Tudor Day Date with its exceptionally size for that time
The majority of these watches has been made in Stainless Steel but we can find them in 14KT and 18KT Yellow Gold or two tone.
Rolex Tudor also joined Rolex in the manufacture of the watches nowadays known as Vintage, with cases, dials and hands similar to Rolex's.
Rolex Tudor always took advantage of their direct connection to Rolex in order to improve their sales. In addition, Rolex Tudor was conceived from the beginning as the "second" brand, which results in more moderate prices than its bigger, more famous brother. Rolex Tudor watches are sold through official and authorized Rolex retailers but the Tudor brand is not currently available in the United States. Still, it continues to be sold in Europe, Asia, Canada and Latin America.
The French Navy used Rolex Tudor watches for its divers, the first Rolex Tudor Submariners were purchased from the Marine Natioinale in the late 60`s. In addition, the same model was used by the US Navy for its UDT and the Navy Seals.
Rolex signed bracelets and crowns were part of the Tudor models up to 1990`s.
In 1997 Rolex signed a contract with the famous golf player Tiger Woods to advertise the Rolex Tudor Prince Chronograph. The first Rolex Tudor Chronograph Tiger Woods model came out with a variety of colored displays. Therefore, Rolex Tudor became a pioneer in exotic colored dials. One example could be the classic Rolex Tudor Tiger Woods model with soleil and red-signed black dial.
Even when it has an aristocratic name of its own, a Tudor still remains a Rolex.
Hope that clears the air.
Cheers,
Chng.

On a side note, Tiger Woods later signed with Tag and only broke off from this "Tag team" after his sexual misdeed come to rise.
Recently, heard in the news that TW signed with Rolex for bigger things to come.

It is an interesting article although I find it sad that Tudor is being referenced Rolex Tudor. Anyway Wilsdorf could not use the Tudor name because it was owned by Isaac Blumenthal, a gem merchant based in Geneva. Other brand names registered by Wilsdorf:
Marguerite - 1912
Lexis - 1916
LON - 1919
Brex - 1919
Falcon - 1920
Rolco - 1927
Rox - 1927
