Best bet is to go to an AD and do a test drive on all of them.
These are my current stable, the BB GMT being the choice if only going w/ one watch. dP

If I were going to get my first Tudor, it'd be the BB58 blue. They're certainly more available than Rolex, but at least around here they're not in the display case, but ask, they probably have one in the back. That's how I got mine.

If, however, you're looking for a watch that will deliver unbelievable bang for the buck and punch way above its weight classification, then you're in the right place. If I could only own one, it would probably be the blue Pelagos, the watch I've done literally everything with, hiking, swimming, hot tub, golf, you name it. I couldn't just own one, however, so my number 2 would be the GMT. |

For me, the new BB ceramic is the first Tudor I've given serious thought to owning: https://www.tudorwatch.com/en/watche...m79210cnu-0001
I also am intrigued by the new full bronze BB 58, but I wonder about the smell of the watch (like an old penny?) and the patina (even if some say it isn't an issue). |

No The old ones. Blue Pelagos. No doubt. Or maybe a North Flag. If the NF had the Pelagos clasp, it'd be a no brainer. As it is, I've had ETA BBs and in-house BBs, and all 3 variations of the Pelagos. Blue Pelagos is my choice, because I don't have to worry about it. I like the Chronos, but just don't love them. |

Thanks for this, Beast. I own both the Explorer and Ranger and never noticed the blacked-out rehaut of the Ranger. BTW, that is a handsome Bund. I don't recognize it - which brand is it? |

Many of us own or hope to own Rolex, but it’s not been mentioned that the overall prices of Tudor make them a great bargain. No hesitation about them at all.

I went with this first
Then had to have this If I were to add a third, it would definitely be the blue BB58. As others have said, the latest BB chronos are quite popular as well. Let us know what you pick Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I hope these new era Tudor are a better watch than the old 90's ones. I had a Sub to use at work as a beater, ordered it new unseen circa 1997....felt cheap and clunky. A big disappointment. Now I see they've made them collectible and ask 4k up for them. The new ones look great, but do they feel better made?

70+ hour power reserve, in-house COSC certified true GMT movement, 200m water resistance, and comes with a 5 year warranty. This watch screams value and adventure.

There’s no right or wrong answer here but after having multiple vintage and modern Tudors (all of which I’ve loved) I came back to this.

I’ve owned 2 Tudors and they are great watches for the money. No, they won’t hold their money and for me the colours (apart from the blue Pelagos) can appear dull and washed out, especially the BB58 blue.
Anything can be collectable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Although I'm a happy BB58 owner, I think the future classic in the current Tudor lineup is the Pelagos.
