Tudor Black Bay 41 a Half Price Rolex Submariner Alternative?

Everyone knows and loves the Rolex Submariner. What does it look like compared to the new release of the Tudor Black bay 41 and what are my thoughts having worn it for a little while.

I've had the opportunity to visit their factory in Le Locle, Switzerland. Quick correction: they don't send their movements to METAS, they have a dedicated METAS office in-house. They also have several robots making sure all watch movements surpass pre-COSC inspection to have as little rejection as possible. It really is an insanely smooth modern operation. It's a very nice watch, the latest monochrome Black Bay!

[@RabbitWatchShop]

I’m on Watch Crunch. Many have purchased the BB54, BB58, and the Pelagos 39. I have seen more people buy this 41mm monochrome than any Tudor watch currently available. Almost every day, a few people get one. Huge success for Tudor. It’s not for me, yet I recognize the tremendous value and beautiful design of the watch.

[@borassictime918]

Harrison you are so wrong about METAS first they test the cased up whole watch over two weeks in six different angles and a whole other lot of tests were as the usual test done too standed BB and Rolex,they only test the movement uncased, the METAS testing is way more in-depth than cost testing

I just bought the Tudor BB monochrome a month ago and have worn it every day since. Fabulous watch and I would rather own it than a modern day sub. I own a 16610 sub, Tudor Ranger and the original Omega Aqua Terra. This Tudor is just terrific and not a compromise purchase. It is a great value, wears great and the 5 link bracelet is a contrast to the rest of the collection.

[@cmatz175]

When this was released there was absolutely no urge for me to want it at all because I already have the 41 submariner. I have also owned 6 different tudors and love tudor. What you said about the submariner being more like jewelry than merely a watch is spot on... However its the iconic tool watch that is built rugged and robust yet has that air of luxury that Rolex has perfected. The rolex itch for me didnt die after the sub. I ended up also getting the 40mm explorer and I am lusting hard for the two-tone silver and gold sub.

Great video and comparison man, thank you! I'm still very happy with my P39. I honestly see the P39 as more versatile since I can throw it on a nato and take it on holiday trips without is grabbing too much attention. It's just the perfect do it all watch, to me :). When it comes down to the Black bay Monochrome I would be too conscious about al the glitter and glammer, but heck, what a beautiful watch that is! Have a good one!

[@TimeBaum]

Excellent review! I really like that the monochrome gives a more affordable Submariner alternative and holds to the older sub style of being more toolish in looks. I'd probably snag the monochrome if I didn't already have the burgundy model.

[@CDF961]

Great review. I myself only new to Tudor am now on my second order within their brand. Love my BB58 and now going Pel. Love their watches and great services from the Ad i use. I would recommend to anyone a Tudor.

[@ZachGrabill]

Absolutely spot on video. If you want a Sub because YOU want it, a Tudor will not scratch that itch. If you want a Sub because you want OTHER people to know you have a Sub, a Tudor won’t do that. I think the latter is sad, but it’s humanity and who am I to judge. Get what you want at a price you can afford. If you can’t afford what you want, save until you can. And life is too damn short to worry if other people think you’re poor because you’re wearing a watch that doesn’t have a crown on it.

That U in the METAS movement reference is in fact a magnet to stress the antimagnetic properties of the movement. It’s not a U.

[@teammacnamara5320]

If this was any other brand other than Tudor then this watch would have been brushed aside as a Submariner homage. You’re right, anyone who wants a Rolex in their heart who buys this won’t be satisfied. Most of us have been there and you end up buying the Rolex in the end. There seems to be a stigma about admitting to liking Rolex. I love Rolex, and for me nothing else so far compares to Rolex at around the 10k and under mark. It’s all about how it makes YOU feel wearing your watch, and Rolex has always made me feel great!

[@SIZZO76]

You speak truth my friend. TUDOR is trash 😂😂😂😂😂😂 and a FAKE ROLEX😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I have a Submariner, in fact I have four of them, and I still want one of these. So, you're wrong and I'll wager you have neither.

[@Lee-pf2uv]

@@fontyyyyou are one specific example who thinks differently. Doesn’t make this wrong. I agree and not just with watches. If you have your heart set on something then an alternative will often not fill the void long term. In your case you have Subs already so a Tudor is not filling the void. For someone else without one Sub (let alone 4) is potentially filling a void if they really do what that Rolex. If done it with watches, cars, tech, clothes, shoes etc. buy an alternative instead for whatever reason and eventually that original thing you truly wanted will come back into your mind. It’s just how most (maybe not you) people’s minds work.

[@notyourtypicalwatchreview2563]

I agree. The little voice in the back of your head always says, “But, it’s not a Rolex.” I have admitted to myself that, yes, I want a Rolex.

[@tinystacker]

Tudor has been making the Submariner since the 50s, so they can and do tap into that history since Rolex doesn't. Saying Tudor is a "wanna be Rolex" is just ignorance, especially now a days. If I want a Rolex I'll buy a Rolex. If I want a Omega I'll buy an Omega, and if I want a Tudor I'll buy a Tudor. All of these are affordable if you make a decent salary, and a couple grand one way or another doesn't make much of a difference.

[@barryvercueil2346]

Awesome watch. I just wish they would brush the sides. Cheers.

[@tomlabarb2640]

You cant go wrong with the Sub.... even if you change your mind you sell it for the same or more than you paid... rather than the money sitting in the bank you get to enjoy it on your wrist and it basically never loses value.

[@key4duty]

Unless you get mugged lol. I avoid cities with my watches. I rather wear something simple then putting my life at risk, just not worth it.

[@billhart]

To each his/her own. I've had my BB Monochrome on a 3-link bracelet and love it enough that I've sold my Submariner 124060. The Sub was always a little "off" for me. Too much bling with the ceramic bezel. This watch is just the right amount of subdued for me and the T-clasp is game changing (spoiled by the Rolex Glide Lock). Stop by your local AD and see what you think. For me, I just put $4500 USD in my pocket ;)

I don’t think anyone has actually said that about metas on KZbin, well done. It’s especially ridiculous when they use the same movement. I agree with a lot off what you said but was surprised about your description about the size. Until It comes with a date function I can’t get excited. The main thing I disagree about is shiny bits adding interest. It adds something but for me it’s not a positive but that’s a taste thing and we are all different. That said if I bought one I might ask someone for a jubilee bracelet for Christmas so I could swap from the oyster one and experience the bling.

[@comeonman7423]

I feel like everytime a new black dial Tudor comes along it’s compared as the alternative to the sub..

The lug to lug on the bb41 is visibly larger and also reported in other reviews as 50mm so do check the dimensions again cuz its most likely wrong

[@MrMarkallwood]

It’s reported as 50 but it is actually 49mm so guess 48.5 might be close enough. It’s also sold as 41 but it is 40.5. Tudor basically rounds up.

Black bay monochrome is stunning, but the sub is even better. That’s why I didn’t get it. 0:30 But Tudor’s price is unmatched. Bought the Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT, I really vintage get vibes from it. Gloss burgundy/black bezel with gilt accents. Looks absolutely stunning in person, much better than in photos and videos!

[@jamesincharlotte]

Our wrist are same size. The BB 54 or The BB 41 you prefer ?

[@HarrisonElmore]

The 41 probably or 58 wear very well. They all wear well to be honest so it’s sort of a preference of dial size and real estate on your wrist

[@djr4840]

No, it’s not a submariner. It’s not a bad watch at all! But it’s too thick, 60 click bezel and a great but not quite Oyster level bracelet. I felt my 124060 was a bit too flashy at times and if I were to wear a diver everyday, this may be it. The Jubilee bracelet is interesting though!

[@hansakselos4636]

The P39 has noticeable shorter L2L than the BB58, so in my opinion the P39 is way of the feel of the Sub. Feels more in between the 58 and the 54. The BB41 and the Sub have both 40,5mm bezels. Feels very alike on wrist. The Black Bay 41 is not lighter than the Sub, it’s slightly heavier, at least when both are on oyster.

[@allenfazer]

This is a beautiful watch, and it is very similar to the Submariner in looks, but it’s a Tudor and a Rolex is a Rolex. Buy what you like, if it’s a submariner you want just wait a little longer and save because this watch will not satisfy that itch! And you’ll end up wanting the submariner anyhow and loose money on this watch when you decide to sell it to fund the Submariner.

[@gavinwhite9743]

This watch wonders heavily into homage territory. It then looks expensive when viewed in that light. Subs are widely available, near MSRP. The modern sub is a beautiful watch, and the 20 year old 14060m watch can give old vibes with a modern movement, 40mm case, and they are going for only a 2k more than the Tudor. A 20 year old sub will also likely hold its value better.

Tudor has basically got customers to spend the same amount of money as a sub by keeping the Black Bay and Pe’Lah-gos just different enough so they eventually buy both for their collections. The best watch IMHO to scratch the itch in the meantime would be a Christopher Ward C60 Trident black in 40mm. It seems to capture the tool and elegance of a sub while being somewhat original, 1/10th of the price, and exceptional quality. Don’t get me wrong-the sub is magical but the CW holds that interest you talk about that marries tooly and luxury. ….but…Man I want a sub! 😅

Tudor is the shield that protects the crown from peasants

Alternative yes equivalent no

[@ahamilton1305]

In real life its nich enough, but trully nothing like a rolex sub, its just not sorry

[@LouisMorales-zx3jm]

Tudor os an Homage period.

[@Alexpress81]

More like 1/3 price

[@youtubecensors5419]

All Tudors are Rolex "alternatives".

[@jadomi2076]

Yes it is. And that's why I won't buy one.

[@salvadorcano4494]

Own both Submariner and the Tudor BB58. Sub is my grail, but my BB58 and my omega smp actually gets more wrist time. Agree with some of the comments that the sub has become a blingy tool watch... New Tudor monochrome is a good looking watch btw...

[@melissasmess2773]

Omega Seamaster is better and original, not a homage of a Rolex, that most people don't want to spend that much money on. Any watch more than $20 is just jewelry anyways, divers have computerized dive watches.

It is hard for me to get excited about a couple of dead boring watches.😂

[@SIZZO76]

TUDOR is 🗑️ 😂😂😂

[@Treetopflyer777]

1/2 the price. Twice the thickness. It’s STILL waaaaaaay too thick. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Cybex.]

💥 I know better alternatives. SanMartin, with a good and proven mechanism SW 200. Very good quality at a fraction of the price of Rolex and Tudor. If we compare all three watches, the conclusions come to mind. If you want a decent everyday watch, you will know what to buy by comparing these three products. 💥
