Is Tudor consider a Rolex?

Hi Brom goldvision and jasonxxl2000,

Thanks for your replies and contributions. Can you kindly assist to explain better (amid my understanding)?

Best regards,

I am eyeing the Tudor Pelagos vs the Sub C ND. Price wise the Sub C ND is almost double that of the Pelagos.
The Sub C ND is more classier and has the Rolex badge and in-house movt. Technologically the Pelagos wins hands down with the titanium case, spring loaded clasp and infused ceramic lume bezel. However Pelagos is using a ETA movt.

This is a tough choice.

+1

Would not hesitate to pull the trigger if Pelagos were any cheaper (or maybe just wait to get a slightly older version).

If one would go something bling and instantly recognizable , go for the Sub C ND.

However , given the price is twice as much and without a date function , i would go for the subtle Pelagos

ETA or In house Movement to me does not really matter as both are non open case back , and most importantly of all , ETA makes servicing much more accessible and affordable.

Just my 2 cents view

Volkswagen owns Audi & priced Audis at a premuim but,
DSG = S-Tronic,
4Motion = Quattro,
VW TSi engine = Audi TFSi engine,
Golf GTi = A3 2.0T
Passat 1.8T = A4 1.8T
Passat CC 2.0T = A5 2.0T
Tiguan Sport 2.0T = Q5 2.0T... & so on
Just marketing 'gimmicks', pricing positions to gather more market share/segment.

Hahaha i guess its just branding issues.. Tudor will always stay as a Tudor, and a Rolex, as a Rolex.

Pretty good way of looking at things

Tudor is always a Tudor but nevertheless it's still a refined watch with long history

[jingjie]

tudor has its fair share of nice subs too..

[subnd]

[leonmike]

Agreed. But too bad they don't make that anymore....Aaaaaayh !!!

[jieming]

Both for different market . Last time they used share parts eg Rolex case, crown, bracelet and design, people used to commented they were poor men Rolex. Now with their own parts and design , people commented they missed those Rolex parts and design.

Did Tudor ever use non-ETA movements?

[Submariner_Guy]

The new models from Tudor esp. the black bay and Pelagos are indeed very attractive .. thus making me have a re-look at the Tudor range.

Not the same Rolex and Tudor.
