Tudor

Montres Tudor SA has designed, manufactured and marketed Tudor watches since March 6, 1946. Rolex founder Hans Wildorf conceived of the Tudor Watch Company to create a product for authorized Rolex dealers to sell that offered the reliability and dependability of a Rolex, but at a lower price.

Tudor watches are manufactured by Montres Tudor SA using movements supplied by ETA SA. They are marketed and sold in most countries around the world including the United States, Australia, Canada, India, Mexico, South Africa, many countries in Europe, South Asia, the Middle East and countries in South America, particularly Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela.

Montres Tudor SA discontinued sales of Tudor-branded watches in the United States in 2004, but Tudor returned to the United States market in the summer of 2013.

Agreed

not enough traffic here to warrant that.

Consider getting pre-owned ones, for 20k you have a lot of option.
Submariner, SeaDweller, Explorer 1, Explorer 2, Datejust.

Vintage Datejust from 80s starts at 7k. Check out watchlim

Damnn.
too hard to choose between these choices.
So hard to decide as it will be my 21st birthday gift for myself.
Something that makes a remembrance for it.

I got mine 36 yo b-day

You will most definitely not go wrong with Submariner and DJ. While the entire Rolex lineup is iconic, these 2 are without a doubt the foundation of Rolex.

wow now got rolex thread pula
thread starter didn't show his collection also

2 liner

Doing homage cosplay to Ian Fleming

Noted.
Will try to find out more about these 2.
What are the price for a standard stainless steel datejust?

TS poorfag only have one Rolex, no collections

18 to 20k ringgit I think

this is the old version right?

214270

where about to check out for pre-owned rolex in KL or online?

any1 mind to share how to check for an authentic rolex?

Plenty of per owned shops time square, Bangsar village, usj summit, Scott garden, etc.
Authentic check at Rolex center menara dion.

Rolex seem like a bit over for the movement now.

all sg ppl come over and buy (lately)....

Hi guys,

What's the retail price for GMT Master 2 (116710BLNR)? Any shop can give good discount? How many % discount normally?

Discount for BLNR is unlikely unless you go grey.

I think its unlikely PERIOD due to recent development.

Manage to find a shop selling Rolex Explorer 1 at RM20,900.
Is it good price? Thanks

Hi Bro,

Any recommended shop to buy? And how much is the retail price? Thanks!

I'm not local.

Was referring to the recent news that popular models are being grabbed up before the impending price hike due to the swiss franc.

Wow Bro! Thanks for the information. Really appreciate the info. And how much is the VAT in % if I shop in Germany?

It's been a while since I've last been to Germany but recall VAT refund should be in the region of 14%.

Thanks bro!

on the high side I will say

I got mine SGD 7,200.00 last year June

Anyone knows of a good place (in KL or PJ area) where I can sell-off my Rolex...?

Regards.

Yay finally a Rolex thread! My 1996 15200 can finally be put to rest, as it's replacement Explorer II 216570 will be arriving soon. I'm looking for nice straps, particularly orange in colour for the Explorer II, does anyone of you have experience or know any good strap brands?

Rubber B

hope Tudor can be discussed here since is related one way or another with ROLEX.

Thanks heaps! I'll definitely check this brand out. That orange strap looks really really good!

I agree. What do you think TS? Afterall Tudor is sold at Rolex outlets as well. I really do find the Black Bay charming. More so than modern Sub. Blasphemy I know.

OK, I will change the title.

My contribution to the thread.

Many rich people ya

But we don't have a Patel watch thread yet

Haha.. That is another level. Datuk, datin, tan Sri level

cause we are from /k, 20k per month

😯 you mean 20k per month salary?

yes, first criteria when you wan to join /k

In RM or USD?

What happens in /k stays in /k OK?

Selling?

Kop before current models MSRP increase and GST.



First thoughts: Understated, less bulk and in a way more subtle and refined than the current ceramic bezel models. Fine example of the tool watches Rolex is known for. I can see this as my everyday watch while the GMT2 will be out for more special occasions.

Definately more understated and fits better. Wear it in good health.

Beautiful! Just copped my 216570 yesterday in Polar white, and I must say I have the same comments and sentiments. My bros got the Submariner and GMT Master II together with me, and the Explorer II somehow just stands out more. My hunt for the strap continues...

naise

any wrist photo? its bigger but still understated?

My thoughts were for the 16570 Exp2 (bought pre-owned). The new version is larger case (2mm), topping the Sub/GMT2 so not really sure if it's as subtle as the old model. Nonetheless, it has a striking dial indeed. If I remember correctly only 3 models come in white dials: Exp2, Milgauss and Daytona.

Enjoy your polar!

Gesh, looks like i shouldn't get into this forum anymore since my monthly earnings are RM 0 due to the fact that I'm still a student!

Kena trolled haha

Btw, you don't need 20k to appreciate watches

New DayDate & Yatchmaster .

DD sports in 40mm while Yatchmaster has a 37mm too.

Pics courtesy of Hodinkee & Rolexpassionsport @ Instagram

the new DD is beautiful

Here's a pic of my acquisition, apologies for the so so picture,



Definitely a much better size! I've been thinking of the new Yachtmaster since it's revealing last night....poison is strong....

Not my style of watches, but man that movement is in-house! Tudor is going to give a serious run for the money now.

And they also announced a Blue dial/bezel Pelagos with their new in house movement, and the Black Pelagos will also be updated with the new movements! With no price increase!

Will it be COSC? Previous buyers butt hurt lo. Used ETA Pelagos harga affected or go up?

why no one mentions the propietary lugs?

Er, ew? Not to my taste. Macam sports watch, but its not as hardcore as diving. So to me a bit not here nor there.
