Why I'm Selling my Tudor Watches! My Collection

[@sylvio1980]

It’s totally opposite for me - date, and especially day window just ruins it for me. Keep up the great work !

[@UnburdenedByWhatHasBeen]

Im fine with a date but only at the 6.

[@light1531]

The date can only work if you do not need reading glasses, or wear glasses. But it clearly RUINS symmetry.

[@ddp3000]

Symmetry FTW!

I sold all my Tudors and only kept the 1926 36mm. But my daily driver is a Casio Oceanus OCW-T200S-7AJF. Nothing can beat that imo.

[@comeonman7423]

Fantastic combo 👌🏽 love them both!

[@watchthepoint1604]

I’m the opposite with regards to the date. I like a dial without it, keeps the symmetry and easier and quicker to change the time. I just look at my phone if I need to know the date. Who doesn’t have a phone on them nowadays and who doesn’t go everywhere without their phone. Just my opinion.

I have 2 Orient Mako 3's. Burnt orange dial and the grey dial. I love them, and like you, can't put my finger on exactly why. I just love the dial, I guess.

Completely understand you. I also can't stand watch without date (or day+date). It is really handy to have it.

I’m surprised at how much better a State of the Collection video is when it’s not called a State of the Collection video!😂 Thanks for sharing…looking forward to seeing the part 2 with the budget watches too…

[@Hard_7_Iron]

That Omega Seamaster “Black on Black” strap is the ONLY way to go if you do black….it looks amazing. Dude…that Air King is the bomb! Small but great.

[@craigriley9892]

I had a day/date on my Tissot that I wore to work and it really came in handy. I typically dont like either, but it was very functional at work. Dive watches dont need the day or date in my opinion.

[@patzguitarz]

I'm with you about the date. It's a must for me. Also, you like a multicolored bezel, so you need to find you a Seiko Pepsi - classic look. The best new model in my opinion is the SNE591. It's quartz but has a sapphire crystal, date, and has great bezel action.

[@icewarped]

I get it with the Tudors. I have had three Tudors that I've since sold for one reason or another. My ultimate complaint was the thickness of the black bays and Pelagos. However, I picked up the Tudor FXD Marine Nationale and it is my favorite watch in my collection (I used to require dates on all my watches, but since most dates are very difficult to read and impossible to read without taking off my glasses, It has become less important of a factor, than fit, feel, dial legibility, and personal connection). (BTW also a fellow Submariner (Boomer (90-97))

[@trappedindc8678]

Only really been in to watches for the last year. One thing Ive settled on is that I like watches with a date and really dislike watches without a date…

Well, welcome to the crazy house. You’re going to have a ton of fun, lose a lot of time and look fantastic.

[@abbywallace5154]

By the way, that was an intended pun. Lol.

[@trappedindc8678]

Well there’s a good bit of truth there….already between Casio (really good ones) and automatic, mechanical, chronos, field , GMT and dive I’m at 60. Mostly $375 or less as I see what I like but do have 4 fairly for me “expensive” watches. I have started giving the less expensive ones as gifts as I settle on my preferences😊

[@Simon_Hawkshaw]

I got the Mako 2 in blue because of your review and I also love it. Thank you also for my Glycine as well. I do love it too. I am looking at a Seestern Capt. Willard homage too. Thank you for your kind words. They mean a great deal to me. Much appreciated. I shall keep my eyes open for your sales, but if you don't like them, I probably won't either.

I only buy Tudor unique pieces like the bronze black bay 58 brown dial and brownish/reddish bezel, that's a looker that I don't see in the Rolex lineup. But a regular steel BB 58/54, nah get a Rolex instea.

I used to have 3 tudors, bb36 silver dial (Gone), BB58 925 (gone) and bb 41 S&G which will be leaving the collection pretty soon as well.... why? I think tudors are good watches but overpriced, now that the hype has gone down people are starting to realize that the ETA movements were the slick ones, the new ones are all think and just deosnt justify the price, for a few bucks more you are way better with an Omega.... also and as a sidenote, I haven't seen a brand being dumped sooo much lately (besides Grand Seiko) it's hard to believe these watches had a waiting list a few years ago so actually now is the time to get a tudor.

I don't understand the popularity of divers watches, or even chronographs - maybe 1% of people actually dive, or do laps in a race car?

Give me a watch that tells me the time immediately, thus my like for fliegher and pilot watches.

[@financesdomatter]

Sorry I think Tudor watches are so ugly and people view them as a poor man’s Rolex. Not for me sorry

[@fontyyy]

In a way they're correct, they are and always were Rolex on a budget. Although as many say Rolex are overpriced, and at over £8k for a no date, steel dive watch they might have a point! But unless that person actually has something more pricey than a Tudor on I'd think his opinion was a bit ungrounded. I dunno, is pretty much anything from a more budget friendly brand just a poor man's luxury watch? Is a normal steel date Submariner (retail £9000) just a poor mans Smurf (a white gold Submariner, retail £37800)? Is a plain normal steel 5711 (current value ~£75000) just poor mans Tiffany 5711 (~£2m)? Or are they all just really nice watches, and we should just buy what we like, what we can afford and what makes us happy. And sod what the rest of the world thinks, cause 99.5% of them haven't even noticed if I've got a white gold Daytona or a £50 Pagani with a Seiko mecha-quartz in it (wish I'd not sold that watch).

[@saltydog7988]

@@fontyyy Well said sir. I’d wager most of the people on forums trashing one brand or another probably don’t own anything close to the watch(es) they dislike. If you don’t like a particular brand fine,but keep your useless opinions to yourself. There are plenty of people out there that DO like that particular watch and don’t need your idiotic diatribes about it. With very few exceptions,there are better watches out there than any watch you care to name. All comes down to personal taste and what you are willing (or able) to spend.

[@coverkosong7309]

[@verynormalman]

First time visitor! It seems you are too impulsive. Part of the watch collecting thing, that everyone stresses on YT, is to see a watch 3 times in the flesh, before you buy. You have the biggest, and the smallest Rolex, which aren't nice, and then loads of "shopping centre" watches which are terrible. But the weird thing is you single out the Tudor's as the blame watches? Because they haven't got a date? Weren't you present when you purchased? If I were you I would sell them all. You need a new hobby. Have you thought about LEGO?
