I was pondering this today: due to the fact that there are inherently less Tudor Submariners in the world than the Rolex version due to it being discontinued many moons ago surely that makes them more rare thus more collectible. What do you think?

honestly, it is handsome, less people has it and the price is hiking up too.

when i heard tudor releasing the blue 58, i thought the looks will be the same as this tudor sub. but then again, the blue one still nice, but tudor sub is unbeatable.

wear it in a good health sir ��

Watch looks really nice, it may be rarer but as it’s not a Rolex it will never be as sought after.

I disagree older Tudor subs are bringing Rolex prices and will always be collectable

ffscala · 16 September 2020, 06:09 PM

Isn’t it funny that the only visual difference is the dial logo, even the case and crown are the same. I’m not sure that the movement particularly matters.

padi56 · 16 September 2020, 06:13 PM

Myself always buy and wear watches because I want to wear that particular watch and not on some perceived rarity or collectable value.

teck21 · 16 September 2020, 06:25 PM

My beat up nonworking seiko kinetic is far rarer than any Rolex or Tudor in the world.

I would be lucky if anyone even wanted it for free.

To be honest I do value the Rolex brand much more and kind of love Rolex watches. Just a funny pondering I had today.

Miker86 · 16 September 2020, 07:23 PM

Given the choice between a Tudor or Rolex sub from the same year I’d take the Tudor. Especially if it was the blue version

couldn't agree more sir 👍

Did someone say Tudor Blue Submariner , I bought this back in the day when not many people were interested in them , which suited me fine as I’ve never bought a watch because it’s the latest & greatest . And Ive always had a thing for blue watches, and this ticked every box then & still does now

That looks brand new - a beauty!

I must say, the Tudor Submariner has a lot of ‘underdog’ charm. A very solid watch due to the use of Rolex parts too.

You seem well informed?

Onequik135i · 16 September 2020, 08:05 PM

Viewing CPR’s blue Tudor sub never gets old around here, beautiful!

JPMickB83 · 16 September 2020, 09:17 PM

The Tudor Subs definitely have their unique charm. These are both 76100’s too, which was the transitional model after the Snowflake.

They are lovely watches, but just because something is rare doesn't make it collectible. That's dependent on demand >>> supply. But Tudor Subs are fantastic watches in their own right.

Reinhard in SA · 16 September 2020, 11:44 PM

This one could well be my favourite watch and I own a few pieces from the Crown.

79090 circa 1995

Reinhard in SA · 16 September 2020, 11:45 PM

Love seeing all the Tudor Submariners in this thread!

JParm · 16 September 2020, 11:48 PM

Collectibility is driven by demand, not the rarity of an item. There might only a certain amout of Faberge eggs, but that doesn't make them collectible.

I own a Blue Snowflake because I love the color and it's part of a collection. If it was going to be my only watch? Then I probably would've picked up a 1680 / 5513 instead.

nice looking subs here....

Tudor Sub with snowflake hands. That's the winner in my book. Wish it was still around.

Your watch is stunning. In 1970 right out of college I sent to Europe for a backpacking trip. Went to Chronomitrie Beyer in Zürich where they had a Submarier 5513 and Tudor sitting side by side. $130 and $95 respectively. I didn't have a lot of money but took the Sub because I hated the snowflake hands. It took a few years before the Tudor got the Mercedes hand.

Wow, that’s an amazing little tidbit - fantastic to hear a first hand experience like that going back so far. It’s super that the watches still exist and are running as well as ever.

Nikrnic · 17 September 2020, 01:43 AM

Rare doesn't always mean collectible but a Tudor Sub seems to be both as well as being a desired piece. It may never reach the Rolex value but it's all relevant and will sure holds it's own.

The Tudor Submariner and its many variants (handsets, markers, sizes, and colours) make them collectable in their own right.
