Fairly new to watch collecting. Super fast collecting journey! I've had a bit of everything, small gold pretty watches, large rugged watches, vintage British field watches. From Casio to Patek and eve...

I would go for the Rolex. Their vintage stuff is legendary. What reference do you have?
This is my 16800

14060m vs 9411/0
I'll have the one without the full resume printed on the dial, thanks. 👍
That Tudor sub is 😍 and should win it's aged perfectly but
Rolex will always win on badge and hype alone watch is secondary
This model Tudor for me. Love the faded bezel and patinaed snowflake hands 🔥🔥🔥🔥 no date version would be preferable though 😜😜

Always! But this is the nicest cyclops I’ve seen. Maybe just cos I like the watch so much I’m turning a blind eye to it!
A no date marine nationale Tudor sub is about as good as it gets for me!

100% Agree MN Tudor Sub 💪 Shame they are such crazy money. Will have to make do with my FXD until I win the lottery 😂

Love my FXD too. A 39mm one would be so good!
Rolex is cleaner imho

Were the dials and crystal switched out?

At a previous service by Rolex (unfortunately). Not sure if the previous owner knew about this or it was a specific request by them.
In this case, the vintage Tudor wins!
And are we calling 20-25 year old watches vintage? I feel so old!!! 😭

The alternative is “Neo vintage” which seems even worse.
It feels like there has been so much change in 25 years that “vintage” feels right..
Both are just awesome (don’t think we need to declare a winner here). I would like to add an MN issued snowflake at some point. I have a 1990 16610 Submariner (I purchased new for $1200 thru the PX) and a 1665 Sea Dweller from 1979. But like I said - really appreciate the 70s Tudor snowflakes as well.

Lovely both!
