I own a Rolex and multiple Orients. The Orient is a great price point and looks good. The Rolex impresses those who are status conscious. It will last generations. Wear what makes you feel good
I agree. I like the Daytona but apart from the price I’m put off by the fact Rolexes have increasingly become show off watches. I don’t want people to go all -ooooh a Rolex!!!- on me.
Honestly, showing class when it comes to watches comes in the form of understanding what you're wearing moreso than buying expensive watches. It's infinitely better to wear a $200 Citizen than a $500 fashion brand. It's infinitely better to wear a genuine $20 Casio than a fake $200 Rolex. Many if not Most of the watches that have been to war or the moon are not expensive luxury watches. Tudor is a fine brand, aspirational for me personally but if it's in your price range they make some great watches.
Tudor BB 58 at 39mm, Coss certified +-2 seconds with a 70 hours reserve is the best value for money out there in a dive watch. I owned 4 Rolexs in my life and now I'm a big fan of Tudor. No games like Rolex. Got the Boutique Bronze and love it. I give it a cleaning bath every 4-5 days and its always looking new.
I've had a Rolex Submariner and a Tudor BB GMT. I wore the Tudor 95% of the time and eventually sold the Rolex Sub for nearly 100% profit. I still wear my Tudor almost every single day. Can't beat it.
There's something special about buying a Rolex as an achievement reward. I did. I love my rolex. And there's something special about a high quality beautiful beater watch that is the black bay 58. I own both and they mean different things to me and both can co-exist perfectly.
When I was a kid, I always hated history classes. When I grew up, I became passionate about it. I'm writing this just to tell you how much I appreciate the effort you put by bringing the historical background of the objects you show in your channel. Not only useful but also entertaining. Love it.
The rose was the symbol of the Tudor family which was a combination of the Lancaster red rose and the York white rose. I remembered my high school world history! Kinda vaguely, though...
If you want a rolex, buy a rolex. I did. A day-date, and I paid full boat for it. I am thinking of getting a Tudor Pelagos, because the pelagos is its own thing and it is titanium, which is something Rolex doesn't offer in anything with a unidirectional bezel. I own a yema superman, and the QC issues in the crown stem have made it get very little wrist time for me.
Actually, when Wilsdorf introduced the Tudor brand, Rolex was not making in-house movements. As they had from the beginning, Rolex purchased its movements from Aegler. Rolex did own an interest in Aegler, and by the time of Tudor, Aegler supplied movements exclusively for Rolex and no one else. Rolex did not acquire sole ownership of Aegler until 2004.
As a a watch collector my opinion is if you want a Rolex buy a ROLEX otherwise you always are going to have the itch for that watch and then buy a Tudor that are great watches too but they are NOT ROLEX…..
Bite the bullet and get the Rolex. Buy it from an authorized dealer. If you are not ready for the expense, get a Seiko or a Citizen, both of which are fine watches with a wide variety of models.
I've had several ROLEXES and have never regretted buying any of them. I had a '91 Bluesy that I sold for a nice profit and do regret selling that one. I may get another one...something about the sun reflecting off the bezel and especially the face,Wow! I wear mostly GMT MASTER II now and love it. I appreciate the legacy,artistry, the innovation, and the quality of ROLEX. That is why I buy ROLEX.
I have a Tudor BB GMT, and it is awesome! It is not a Rolex - they just hail from the same stable. Think Omega, Longines and others as very similar as they are both owned by The Swatch Group, it is like Rolex and Tudor.
Hi Antonio, you may have already covered this but there are many of us that because of our financial circumstances we cannot justify paying over a thousand dollars for a watch (and especially trying to explain that to our wives). Could you do a video on watches that are really good at budget prices ($300 and below)? Love that channel!
Seiko. Not expensive, but respected by watch enthusiasts. One of the most vertically integrated companies where everything is in-house, and owned by the same owners ever since.
There are many good brands under $1000... Tissot, Roamer, Swiss Military, Hamilton, Zeppelin, Festina, Spinnaker, Citizen, Boccia, Orient, Seiko...et al.
I’ve got a Tudor oyster from the 60s that my dad gifted me years ago. Love it, up until very recently I only ever wore it on special occasions. But more and more I figure I may as well just wear it. If it weren’t for the Rolex crown on the winding pin and clasp on the band you’d never know it was associated. I have to admit though I feel alittle out of my element wearing such a fancy thing.
I own everything from Rolex to Omega to JLC to IWC and a good deal more. I don't own one but would I wear a Tudor? Absolutely I would. The BB58 is a latter-day classic.
I have a few Rolex pieces and a few Tudors, and I can say with certainty that Tudor is going to come sweep the game and market alongside Omega. Their movements are incredible, finishing is beautiful, COSC certified, 5 year international warranty, and Tudor doesn't play games like Rolex with an absurd "waitlist" which we all know is bs. If I want a Tudor Black Bay 58, I call up 2 of my retailers and the watch is in my possession is less than a month worst case. Waited 1-2 months for my Black Bay GMT and I am in LOVE with it. Absolutely phenomenal but they're a bit chunky. Aside from that, easy 10/10 watches for any young professional who wants to get into the luxury watch game. Rolex is incredible, but acquiring pieces is dam near impossible unless you have a huge purchase history or you want to pay 200% above retail for a Submariner.
I fell on love with the GMT when it released, but after a while lost desire for it. Then I went to my dealer looking for a BB chrono panda dial and while they didn't have one, they did have a GMT in the case and it was amazing in person. I walked out with it that day.
I don't understand the Rolex hype. Top tier luxury is more likely to be found at Patek, AP or AL&S. In the mid tier segment, Omega, Grand Seiko, IWC etc. offer more.
True in the end Rolex is just a well made mass produced watch. Patek and the like are in a different league. I also agree that Grand Seiko offers a better value for money but that’s a personal opinion, I prefer the GS esthetics.
Bought me a Cartier Tank Francaise vintage recently and was worth the money. Dont care what anyone says. Ill pick a cartier over a rolex. Just my preference.
@nickgee7291 heck yeah man! Sounds like you got a keeper and I appreciate it, can't go wrong with cartier I swear 👌 my next one is the santos but I'll give it awhile before I buy that one
The cheap Rolex alternative is essentially any watch. Unless the particular watch has gems or precious metals in its makeup, when you pay thousands upon thousands of dollars for a Rolex, you are primarily paying for a brand name. Because beyond the brand? It's a watch.
I tried the Black Bay 54 on at a AD and it to me it fit more like a 38 or 39 which is perfect for my wrist size but I agree if it came in a bronze I'd already own it.
To call a watch that cost about 50000 Swedish Kronas affordable is a disturbing joke, wich world do you live in? A blue Tudor Pelagos has always been a grailwatch of mine, but it is to expensive. But a couple of days ago i found a Octopus Kraken Pelagos homage in Titanium, beautiful blue dial and a Sellita movement. It cost me 5400 Sek, it is the most expensive watch i have ever bought, and after i have been wearing for a couple of days i realise that this is my grail watch come to life. So i do not longera need a not affordable Tudor watch.
He said Tudors were "more affordable" than their Rolex counterparts ... but yeah, $5k is not "affordable" for 99.9% of the people on this planet. So, the world he lives in would be the "0.1%" world.
Great video. Being stylish and wanting a collection of watches does not have to be expensive. There are so many options that are respectable even to the watch snobs. Tissot PRX, Tudor, Grand Seiko, Swatch, Timex, etc.
Best bang for the buck for young professionals. Tissot PRX, Seiko Presage, Citizen Tsuyosa. All around $600. Most people don’t know what a Rolex look like, so these are great examples of quality and value. Tudor is pretty much out of reach if you’re just starting out.
Just taken delivery of a Watchdives BB54 with a mecaquartz movement and I would recommend it to everyone. Being quartz it is more robust and much, much more accurate than any auto could hope to be. £80 for a far superior watch!
@@joshuasteele5108 I understand that Rolex is the brand everybody is recognizing no matter if you are into watches or not. It may be the only brand you have ever heard of and that's totally fine. But Tudor produces and sells 250.000 luxury watches a year. That's 100.000 more than Breitling for example. It's not an insider tip or something. The Black Bay 58 was the best selling release of 2018. It's one of the biggest selling and sought after brands in the luxury segment with waiting lists, high resale value and great heritage. Everybody's talking about Tudor except those who don't talk about watches at all. It's like saying nobody talks about Trek or Specialized just because I am not into bycicles. I guess I an just tired of folks trying to sell yesterday's news as a big story.
Great Tudor History! I’ve been a Tudor fan for years and prefer them and Omega over Rolex. However, my statement pieces would probably be Rolex Gold Presidential, AP, & Vacheron Constantin.
Tudor is a great watch, but I also like Seiko prospex, and I have some. I do want to get a heirloom for my son when he gets older, and I think a watch is a great generational gift with memories and history. Thank you for your content.
The GMT is $4,350 now. And still not overly easy to obtain from all AD's. Add a leather strap as well and you are close to $5,000.00----plus taxes. NOT inexpensive at all. However an excellent looking and superbly built watch. My GMT is built much better than my 2006 Sub that I purchased new (the clasp has rattled since the day I walked out of the AD).
Thanks for the video. I've been wanting to pick up a Tudor for a couple of years now, but can't decide which one to get. I'm torn between the Black Bay 58 or the Harrod's version because I love the Green. I face the same problem you do with having smaller wrists so while I'd love to get the Harrod's version, I don't want to get it and have this massive watch on my wrist that just looks ridiculous.
When I was 12 my dad went on a business trip to Hong Kong and brought me back a "cheap Rolex alternative" that turned my wrist bright green for a week the first time I wore it.😂🤣
Its difficult to believe or even listen to a men designer to speak about area he is not expert at all 😕 Its tipicaly goes wrong when one self declared expert start speaking about secondary fasion things like parfume, watches, cars etc There are so menu alternatives to rolexes..... Better to see other YTs which are dedicated specialist in the field.....
Not hating, but does Tudor make anything good that’s not a Rolex copy. I mean they have the same bracelets now even the jubilee. BB is it a submariner?
Most of what they do are indeed models with designs very close to Rolex models, just in a finish which is a bit simpler. However they also have a great diver without any Rolex references, the Pelagos.
Hello, Antonio I'm Too Young To Have A Job Right Now, I Know It Might Sound Dumb I'm Watching About 4 Hours A Day Because I Clearly Don't Have The Money For A Ralph Lauren Or Burberry Anything + A Tailor, So I Was Wondering What Job I Should Try To Get For My First And Where Should I Look When I'm Done There?
Man, you can get some Tudor Glamour or 1926 models for really good prices as they are under appreciated lines in the Tudor stable. I have the Black Bay 58 and a Grand Seiko along with some others like Oris and Monta. All great watches that won't break the bank and look super classy.
I owned a Tudor black bay (red bezel) I actually loved it. But I sold it and bought a GMT master 2. the quality is night and day. Yes Rolex cost more but it’s the only mass produced brand the holds it’s value.
Come on! I was expecting some other sleeper brand. Oh well, at least it’s good to know the points of difference with Tudor. Not that Rolex will never stop smacking down their smaller brother-cousin on the head... Is it possible you followed up GrandSeiko enamoring in Japan to the extent of never noticing Citizen 0100? I’m not so sure.
I can see what you’re saying, they were some watches are a little expensive, but they mostly At about $2000. And just entry price is about $500 and they’re absolutely gorgeous watches I think they really do a good work on their watches I don’t one and it works very well. I never had any problems with it and very sturdy. Invictus I like them, but they used to have so many beautiful styles but now they really I’ve been trying to copy Rolex too much. What do you think?
There are literally hundreds of TH-cam videos discussing how Tudors are a more affordable alternative to a Rolex! If you really want an extremely affordable dive watch, get yourself a Casio Duro and throw it on a fancy strap.
Just bought a Tudor BB Heritage as a reward for hitting some revenue numbers in my business. It's a fantastic watch. And the fact that it means something special makes it even cooler.
@@RealMenRealStyle my trusty Timex since Iraq, but I'm buying fossil, invicta, and will prob get a seiko next. Ballin on a budget as we used to say. But thank you for putting me on the right track with fashion.
@@RealMenRealStyle thank you so much! Lots of different Apple Watches too that you could compare. Glass types, metal types, etc where sone are better for sports and sone are more stylish.
The GMT is $4,350 now. And still not overly easy to obtain from all AD's. Add a leather strap as well and you are close to $5,000.00----plus taxes. NOT inexpensive at all.
I'm sorry to say this but I hate Tudor. To me, owning a Tudor is declaring yourself to be a true wannabee Rolex owner. It's... I dunno, it just seriously rubs me the wrong way. I'd rather have a Breitling, TAG, Oris, Tissot, Glashutte Original or Christopher Ward over a Tudor. Hell, I'd rather have a Hamilton, Rado, Mido or Zenith before a Tudor. I will never be interested in this cut-rate Rolex because... I don't want a Rolex.
Honest question: Why would anyone want to wear a tracking time unit on their wrist? Time trackers are everywhere ( basically on every screen we watch 24/7) Very interesting info though. Thanks.

I wear everything from Rolex to Orient. Rule number one is buy and wear whatever makes you happy, regardless of the price. Life is too short.
I own a Rolex and multiple Orients.
The Orient is a great price point and looks good. The Rolex impresses those who are status conscious. It will last generations.
Wear what makes you feel good
If you want to show off, then buy a Rolex. If you want to have a great watch for the price, go for a Grand Seiko or a Citizen Chronomaster.
It is impossible to beat Casio's G-Shock solar powered, satellite controlled watch. [Gravitational Shock]
@@alanblanes2876 No it's not. Check those new Seiko Astron's :)
I agree. I like the Daytona but apart from the price I’m put off by the fact Rolexes have increasingly become show off watches. I don’t want people to go all -ooooh a Rolex!!!- on me.
I have a GS and would love to get a Chronomaster. The think I dislike the most about Rolex is that most of their models have a cyclops / wart / tumor.
Honestly, showing class when it comes to watches comes in the form of understanding what you're wearing moreso than buying expensive watches.

Tudor is a fine brand, aspirational for me personally but if it's in your price range they make some great watches.
Watches that have gone to war were also way smaller than the ultra-masculine, oversized ones that now predominate the market.
Rolex only went in house in 2004. Some of the most expensive and desirable Dayton’s used a Valjoux 7750 movements.

Tudor or Omega works for me. Never been interested in Rolex.

Not sure you can say "no one" talks about Tudor. I would say they are one the best known brands.

Very few are buying these watches simply based on price/quality ratio. You buy a Rolex to make a statement.

I’d buy the Pelagos if it had a date feature. I use that more than the time function. :)
CHEAP is a relative term. Just because a Porsche costs about half of what a Lambo costs, does not mean that a Porsche is cheap.

6:54 i think the Tudor is easier to read and looks better.
I’ve had a few Tudor black bays great bang for bucks watches if you like something more utilitarian they have the pelagos which is another great piece
What?!? Everyone is talking about Tudor, especially the Black Bay 54 and 58.
Nobody talks about Tudor????
King Seiko or Grand Seiko are the best bang for your buck IMO
Tudor North Flag. Discontinued but a class of its own. If you can get your hands on one, do it.

The stainless steel Ranger looks pretty close to the Rolex Air King for about 1/4 the price. Hmmm?
What about Seiko?
Seiko=sensible.
Great video Antonio. I'm a big watch guy and enjoyed this informative video 👍🏼👍🏼
When I was 12 my dad went on a business trip to Hong Kong and brought me back a "cheap Rolex alternative" that turned my wrist bright green for a week the first time I wore it.😂🤣
Its difficult to believe or even listen to a men designer to speak about area he is not expert at all 😕 Its tipicaly goes wrong when one self declared expert start speaking about secondary fasion things like parfume, watches, cars etc There are so menu alternatives to rolexes..... Better to see other YTs which are dedicated specialist in the field.....
Cool video. I have a black ceramic black bay, a bronze black baby, and an older fast rider Ducati version..
Nice!
Not hating, but does Tudor make anything good that’s not a Rolex copy. I mean they have the same bracelets now even the jubilee. BB is it a submariner?
Most of what they do are indeed models with designs very close to Rolex models, just in a finish which is a bit simpler. However they also have a great diver without any Rolex references, the Pelagos.
Hello, Antonio I'm Too Young To Have A Job Right Now, I Know It Might Sound Dumb I'm Watching About 4 Hours A Day Because I Clearly Don't Have The Money For A Ralph Lauren Or Burberry Anything + A Tailor, So I Was Wondering What Job I Should Try To Get For My First And Where Should I Look When I'm Done There?
Man, you can get some Tudor Glamour or 1926 models for really good prices as they are under appreciated lines in the Tudor stable. I have the Black Bay 58 and a Grand Seiko along with some others like Oris and Monta. All great watches that won't break the bank and look super classy.
I owned a Tudor black bay (red bezel) I actually loved it. But I sold it and bought a GMT master 2. the quality is night and day. Yes Rolex cost more but it’s the only mass produced brand the holds it’s value.
Come on! I was expecting some other sleeper brand. Oh well, at least it’s good to know the points of difference with Tudor. Not that Rolex will never stop smacking down their smaller brother-cousin on the head... Is it possible you followed up GrandSeiko enamoring in Japan to the extent of never noticing Citizen 0100? I’m not so sure.
... and you forgot Tiger Woods (not that there is not good reason to).
Hello Antonio!
Hi! Good morning.
What do you think of Invictus and the new luxury brand of America called Shinola?
I think Shinola is overpriced for what you get. Invictus offers lots of style options if that’s your preference
I can see what you’re saying, they were some watches are a little expensive, but they mostly At about $2000. And just entry price is about $500 and they’re absolutely gorgeous watches I think they really do a good work on their watches I don’t one and it works very well. I never had any problems with it and very sturdy. Invictus I like them, but they used to have so many beautiful styles but now they really I’ve been trying to copy Rolex too much. What do you think?
Great watch but I prefer omega
No one talks about 😝 you’re a funny man, Antonio
Was he kidding when he said he sold his sub? I love these videos.
While these are much more affordable than Rolex. They are still unaffordable they would rank as a next step grail watch for me.
What brand would you recommend instead?
That's where I was a few years ago. Keep trucking towards your goals.
@@RealMenRealStyle invicta
Rolexes are neither tool watches nor fashion watched, they’ve become prestige items. If you want prestige, Tudor is not it.
BB54 is TUDOR come back watch!!
Not the same...Tudor case and comfortable fit, is better!
There are literally hundreds of TH-cam videos discussing how Tudors are a more affordable alternative to a Rolex! If you really want an extremely affordable dive watch, get yourself a Casio Duro and throw it on a fancy strap.
my guy ive been a long time follower of your channel but everyone and their dad out there is talking about tudor as the rolex alternative hahah
no idea if you read comments still, but it would be nice if you had a watch channel.
Just bought a Tudor BB Heritage as a reward for hitting some revenue numbers in my business. It's a fantastic watch. And the fact that it means something special makes it even cooler.
I don't have a third of Rolex prices for a watch 😂😂😂
Hey John - What's your go-to watch brand?
@@RealMenRealStyle my trusty Timex since Iraq, but I'm buying fossil, invicta, and will prob get a seiko next. Ballin on a budget as we used to say. But thank you for putting me on the right track with fashion.
@@JohnMiller-iu2sx Nice! I also have my Invicta and Seiko watches.
Grand Seiko is a better watch than a Rolex, and when somebody notices it, they don't immediately assume it's fake.
casio watch
In my circle, everyone talks about Tudor.
Poor man's Rolex....lol
Rado ftw
I love watches but I track my vitals on my Apple Watch so I rarely take it off. We need an Apple Watch band video on how to dress it up.
Thanks for the suggestion. Added it to my video list.
@@RealMenRealStyle thank you so much! Lots of different Apple Watches too that you could compare. Glass types, metal types, etc where sone are better for sports and sone are more stylish.
I was looking you can get steel and leather watch bracelets/straps for the Apple Watches.
@@zedhiro6131 yep. So many options - too many to fit in my head. I’d like to get RMRS opinions. And see what this community thinks.
That cheap alternative still costs around 5k EUR. I think I subscribed to the wrong channel..
2k is not cheap at all
The GMT is $4,350 now. And still not overly easy to obtain from all AD's. Add a leather strap as well and you are close to $5,000.00----plus taxes.
NOT inexpensive at all.
You overestimate my bank balance Antonio 😂
@8:26 Rolex Alternatives
I'm sorry to say this but I hate Tudor. To me, owning a Tudor is declaring yourself to be a true wannabee Rolex owner. It's... I dunno, it just seriously rubs me the wrong way. I'd rather have a Breitling, TAG, Oris, Tissot, Glashutte Original or Christopher Ward over a Tudor. Hell, I'd rather have a Hamilton, Rado, Mido or Zenith before a Tudor. I will never be interested in this cut-rate Rolex because... I don't want a Rolex.
Honest question: Why would anyone want to wear a tracking time unit on their wrist? Time trackers are everywhere ( basically on every screen we watch 24/7) Very interesting info though. Thanks.
Invicta. Costs 100 bucks, looks like a submariner, and has a mechanical movement.
3000 bucks a watch
Omega > Tudor
a brand " NO ONE" talks about.....yeah right.......how about The Beatles, a band no one knows about :-)
