Tudor 1926

[whalerguy]

I have always been a fan of Tudor Watches. I have a BB Heritage Blue (2014 79220B model) I really like. I have been looking at the 1926 model (M 91650-0012). Does anyone here own one? Any pro's con's?

Such a simple dressy watch.

Aesthetics aside, I'd say the pros are that its reasonably priced and very likely available to buy!

I recently got this model but with blue markers. Great value for sub $2k and a great piece. Price was actually $50 less before the first of the year.

Thanks. I have several sports SS Rolex models, but sometimes i think I'd like a simpler watch for dressier occasions. LOVE the Celini Moonphase, but way out of my price range for an occasional piece.

The IWC moonphase is also on the radar. However, I've never seen one of those in person either.

I have a friend with a 41mm one. It is very nice but way too big, I have lots of 42mm watches and a 41mm sub, and have tried on some 43mm watches that I like, not sure what it is about this one, but it feels like it is 44-45mm i have not measured it, just my opinion.

Good point. They do make a couple smaller ones. Maybe the 36mm is the sweet spot

When I tried it In 36mm I thought it wore bigger than an OP36.

Makes sense since it’s “more dial” than OP by the looks of it.

I bought the 41mm - it definitely wears larger do to the size of the dial and relatively small bezel. The bracelet is very comfortable, but it took a little while to get it size right. With the Tudor dress models, I find that I need to move the clasp closer to the 6 o'clock side, rather than centered on my wrist, to get the best fit.

Great looking on the wrist. Hopefully I’ll get to see one in person over the next few days.
