Looks like the bb58 took a backseat

if you seriously think a $300 seiko compares to a tudor BB58 there is little that can be said - i have the new green alpinist (£550 RRP in the UK) and for the money it is a great watch but in no way close

i have 3 very beautiful Rolex models and the BB58 compares very well under close inspection on quality which is stunning at not much over one third the price of a new sub - i hope to get the new sub quite soon but that will not make my BB58 blue redundant at all

its pretty awesome on the nato from tudor as well

Tudor vs Rolex so much hate I don't get it! both make superb watches and both make some no so great watches...and BB58 vs a $300 Seiko....just no, go try one on...i'm not a watch nerd, watch maker, expert, but there is a huge difference even I can see that.

BB58 in blue, yes all day long and yes I agree they can live side by side with Rolex in a collection...

Incredible pic!

Mic drop...superb photo!

I am no psychic but I doubt that I am at too much risk of losing much on my bb58 if I wanted to sell it. Even 2 year old bb58 black models still seem to trend over list

This is a strange comment. Define “better”. The real question is if a Rolex is made better than this.
These are time telling devices, and none of them, Rolex included, are “better” at telling time than your iPhone

If I had a smaller wrist id just save for a sub over a bb, as it's far superior IMO. But Tudor is still a cool brand. I'd say at least buy Tudor used and avoid taking a hit.

Tudor fans don't have any issue w/ Rolex. They do have issues with certain Rolex owners. Many of us who own both brands can understand the reasoning.

It switches from navy in darker light to bright in sunlight. It’s quite changeable.

I can tell you the appeal is NOT wanting to show off/increase self-confidence for comical/sad reasons.

This forum could use less morons like you.

Any thoughts on this? You guys are too hung up on the 300 dollar seiko insult. My question is much more interesting! (so I say)

I would take the SLA 037 personally because i like the aesthetics and it would add variety to the collection. The 58B would be redundant.

100% yes. New tudor is well put together.

It's not about how much $$$$ you spend, it's about how much enjoyment you get out of it

Enjoy your 4k Rolex heritage inspired non-Rolex watch. Please move on to the Tudor forum. I wish you luck in Tudor land.

I, for one, most certainly will! Thanks for the good vibes and I wish you luck in TRF land, looks like you're going to make a lot of friends here.

I looked at the red bezel one today and absolutely loved it.

Unfortunately Tudor is a lowly brand for very stupid people who want Rolex quality watches without social stigma or laughable prices. What clowns

[lamnyc]

If Tudor put on a ceramic bezeL, it would be a huge hit.

one of the truly great stupid posts of our times - glad you dropped by on what was clearly a tudor thread

dont agree to be honest - it would add cost and not really fit on a "heritage" watch

[txaggie9307]

Guys, this is a classic troll attempt. Ignore it and it goes away.

As a person who owns both, I have to agree!
