Probably stirring a hornets nest here, but here goes.

I’m beginning to appreciate Tudor for a few reasons:


  • affordable (maybe there has been a price jump since starting to use the Breitling ebáuche - instead of ETA, but still relatively affordable)
  • case shape hasn’t become bloated like it’s big brother
  • good variety in colour (and style)
  • with the new BB58 case depth and non-bloated shoulders and smaller diameter (39mm) they could onto a killing
  • movements are top grade - 70h pwr etc etc (because of Breitling collaboration - but no-one is perfect - joke)
  • availability - yeh they are actually producing the goods. So they can be bought fro the high street - unlike its brother
  • did I mention affordable?


I know they sell the snowflake hand as trade mark Tudor but some of their early models had Mercedes hands so if they went back to their roots they would be producing superlative watches. But it maybe that is asking too much?

Anyway, I am warming to the brand. I doubt it will have the caché of its big brother and the marketing guys probably aren’t able to step on their toes.

So, there are my thoughts and of course do chirp up any comments.
