Tudor! The most boring watch brand ever, they have never done anything Interesting or innovative, there whole sales pitch is they are the cheap wilsdorf brand and made to that price point.

commented on Grand Seiko vs Tudor ·

Bit of an odd comment there.

plenty of prowned GS models selling well over retail, plenty of tudor models not selling well at all.

Grand seiko are innovative and the quality is far higher.

Tudor make watches purposely to be cheaper than the other wilsdorf brand and haven't done anything interesting ever.

GS are hand assembled and hand finished, tudor are mainly machine made

There's a bit of overlap there,

I would probably drop the longines and replace it with a dive watch as the GS is a nicer gmt

commented on NWA!!: early christmas present ·

Excellent choice! Looks awesome 👌
