Rolex is positioned against a particular market based on resources, tastes, desired use. Let’s face it, not everybody can afford a Rolex or a Tudor Black Bay for that matter.
I think about the Tudor in terms of being more accessible but with really good genes. So no, not a poor man’s anything. It’s a legitimate watch of first choice.
I like the red but couldn’t sell the colour scheme at home.

Yes, at the time there weren’t too many red bezels around. For some reason i sang to me with its red bezel, subtle brown/black hue in the dial and the gold hands and markers. Then having three different bracelet and strap choices did make it a good value for the money.
