Vintage Rolex versus Tudor Sub
I’ve had both, but which suits me better? I’m going Tudor. A bit more offbeat - love the faded out colours, the snowflake hands and the block indices.

I absolutely love all three. Have or had variants on the IWC and the Tudor. Never had the Air Ling but love it.
Reluctantly I’d choose the IWC but just because 43mm is too big. If it was a Mark XX I don’t know what I’d do!
Yeah these watches are just so comfy on something with a bit of elasticity (e.g. an MN strap or hook and loop style.) And I went for grey to go nicely with the blue! Its just a cheap Amazon one too. (I prefer the Erika ones but they cost quite a lot and take quite a while to arrive.)
Having owned an FXD and an SMP it’s an easy choice to say the FXD - the reduced weight at this size and the fabric strap really made it much more wearable on my small wrist. Then I love the design and the Marine Nationale stuff!

And I’ve got to say - it’s really nice. The all white design really suits the bioceramic. They seem to have done something to the strap to make it mor...
