I love Rolex but I also am a big fan of Tudors. Does anyone have any info on if Rolex will sell them in the U.S. again. Also, How can I purchase one? Will I have to take a road trip to Canada to get one?

I found mine BNIB at my (former) AD (RI, USA) that had it sitting in a safe since new and only put it out for sale after Rolex took away their AD status

. I bought it last month.

I don't know where to advise you find one but I would advise looking and asking everywhere because obviously they can be found.
Best of luck.

I don't see it. I do like the Tudor models but these days it seems most companies are scaling back their models. (ie car companies) I think more choices makes it more difficult to make a decision on what to buy and also takes away market share from the parent company (in this case Rolex).......but who knows....interesting topic.

My AD mentioned recently when I was in for a load of Tudor catalogues that Rolex will be re-introducing Tudor to the U.S. soon, although she couldn't define "soon".

In the meantime, if any U.S. members want a Tudor without having to take a trip to Canada, contact me. I can make the purchase and ship for AD invoice plus actuall shipping costs.

hope so.. maybe the tudor line is more positioned (price wise) for todays market than the rolex brand? they make some really nice models for sure!

Thanks Al! You're a good egg!

James Dowling ask Rolex at Basel this year about Tudor sales

and this was the answer he got

Question 7. Will there be increased distribution of Tudor models?
Yes, Rolex will be re-introducing the brand in all markets, but this may take a few years as they want to bring up production slowly; so as not to impact the quality.

I stopped by the local Patek AD last week and they had 3 or 4 new Tudors in the display case, I talked about them with the sales guy and he said they can get them in limited supplies. Very nice watches, may very well be my next watch. They also had a pretty good selection of Rolex's in the case and he said that the people who would come in looking at Rolex would thumb their nose at the Tudor's. Shows you what they know! LOL

How do Tudor prices compare to comparable Rolexes?

Excellent find!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really hope they do, since I cannot pay for a Rolex, maybe a Tudor can satisfy my anxiety for a Rolex!

Trust me it won't. If you really want a Rolex, you'll end up with one anyways, and you'll have spend a few grand on a Tudor first.
