Certina....hands down

Adrian has a great channel and I enjoy watching him. He owns both. I guarantee he would never say his Tudor is as polished as his Explorer. And if he did it would be tongue in cheek.

Own four Tudors and a Rolex. Tudor does NOT exceed Rolex quality. It isn't as well finished. The sophistication of the Rolex is subdued but defined. Tudors far exceed anyone's NEED in a timepiece though.

I agree with you... Don't think it would either...was just me musing.

The point of the plan is to reduce overlap in the catalog. Get rid of the Rolex Sub vs Tudor Sub( BB/Pelagos) and Day-Date vs Glamour Date-Day. Agree completely they are both unnecessary and completely luxury. It would just provide more definition between the two brands. 🤔 Maybe 😂

I completely understand.....it is analogous to walking into Ferrari and asking for their new car....and they say no, not without prior history with the brand. Or you will have to wait. Different level but same concept. It frustrated many. The only difference is 16k watch vs 300k car. You can buy an Alfa (Tudor) though. In all seriousness, I asked my AD from whom I have bought all my Tudors and my Rolex. After buying my Rolex, they let me know that the demand is high and the list is long. The list is up to the AD as to whether it is satisfied sequentially. Rolex wants its customers....."chosen" apparently. And that is a tough pill to swallow. It was for me for a very long time. But it is the truth. And their prerogative. I'm just very happy Tudor is doing what they are doing. And your comment further supports my theory that all would be happier if Rolex/Tudor went the way I described.

I completely agree with you. Hence, if you want a TOOL watch...go Tudor. They should expand and build on that. If you want a more "socially sophisticated" (derision and snobbishness aside, Rolex will ALWAYS be considered superior) go with a more polished offering from the Crown! Go dive with a Tudor, go to the Opera with a Rolex!
