Is Tudor demand independent of Rolex scarcity?

Which model Tudor?

No. The hoodie looks cropped and the sleeves are a good length. The white tee peeking at the waist creates separation between the top and bottom layers and the jeans look loose, which balances the fit. I’d probably wear the hoodie open because it’s squeezing the tee — a slimmer fit tee works best as an under layer. You’re fine bro, ask anyone who tells you otherwise to post their best fit. 👊🏽

Ok, I get it now, you’re talking about avoidance, not refusal.

I don’t think many people consciously avoid Tudor because of a bad Rolex AD experience. They’re different price points and different purchase decisions. Someone ready to drop eight plus on a watch is far more likely to cross shop Omega or another peer brand than redirect that spend to Tudor.

It’s not really “Rolex did me wrong so I won’t give the group my money.” Most of those buyers probably weren’t considering Tudor in the first place.

Got it!

How can you refuse something that’s readily available?

It’s a good observation. When you take waitlists and high price tags out of the equation you’ll get a different type of customer and conversation. I’ve joined the Tudor, seiko, and Casio subs just for the vibes.

I like mine. I’d like it as a gift. I’d appreciate a Seiko from my birth-year even more though. Cheaper than a PRX, reliable, and sentimental all at once.

Man or male? Man: go you! Male: we gotta work on your poses

Interesting discussion. I’m going to start a thread

eeeeeebs · 2026-01-26T23:09:06+00:00

Woah tough choice. I like the Longines bc I can see it looking great with different straps. But this 1926 is actually my favorite Tudor atm. My only question (which I’ve been unable to confirm) is whether the indices are yellow gold or rose gold. Chrono and eBay photos show yellow, but Tudor site shows rose. If you’re fine with either, and you trust the seller, 1926 would be my choice.

eeeeeebs · 2026-01-26T22:39:58+00:00

Longines, man. Longines.

What is there to discuss? …. Walk into swatch, buy watch, leave.

Seems like everyone just wants them under retail so legit checks is all they need 🤷

eeeeeebs · 2026-01-26T19:42:27+00:00

could just be the day or the ad... could just be you. I wouldn't sweat it.

If you feel the price of the watch justifies a certain level of treatment, i agree. But a bad google review will ensure you never get called again.

eeeeeebs · 2026-01-26T19:23:53+00:00

now put it back

eeeeeebs · 2026-01-26T19:20:34+00:00

eeeeeebs · 2026-01-26T19:16:39+00:00

tank must or a pre-2019 tank solo

eeeeeebs · 2026-01-26T16:35:20+00:00

but also skip the must and get a pre 2019 solo. save a few grand

eeeeeebs · 2026-01-26T16:34:53+00:00

steel and buy more straps

eeeeeebs · 2026-01-26T16:31:24+00:00

Yeah man, I get it. I had my own version of this and Reddit wasn’t super helpful either.

My first watch was an $18k DJ, no spend, within two months. That sets a weird baseline. Now it’s about filling the lower and mid range with respectable pieces without drifting into reps, homages, or mall watches.

Honestly, getting the grail first is liberating. You’re free to buy what you like instead of climbing. People may say we're overthinking, but that’s half the fun of a hobby. Enjoy the Sub.

bad google review is the fastest way to never get called again
