Tudor watches -question

[heresiarh]

I know nothing about tudor watches. Where can I get one of their sub models?? are they available in retail stores?

They are not available to be purchased new in the US currently. There are plenty of older Tudor Subs being sold on the For Sale section of this site. Of course, like any other Rolex made product, each reference will have its nuances, so get to learn the different references and pick the one you like the most. You could also head up to Canada and order one as well!

So its always available outside the US? I travel a lot so perhaps I can pick one up in the middle east. How are the prices? And what association do they have with Rolex?

Rolex SA is the parent company and are made in the Rolex factory. The Tudor line uses ETA movements. Are far as pricing goes, I can't help.

They were available in St. Thomas USVI last year. I will be able to post back as I am leaving for there tomorrow

I have also been looking into the Tudor line. It appears from their website that their contemporary line does not include a "Submariner" like watch any more. The have some interesting models. Their website is www.tudorwatch.com

They still have old models here in Calgary. I was there yesterday looking at a sub model it was cheep too (I think it was 2200 CAD).

I was looking at there daytona style I like those, I might get one in the future you can't go wrong with the prices.

I was looking at their website this morning. They have this line called the hydronaut II. I think I will have to look at their older models for a classic looking tudor submariners.

One thing I've noticed while traveling abroad is that I've seen more brand names available in the market as opposed to here in the US, and I live in NYC.

In a ctiy like Karachi i was able to spot all kinds of brands, including Tudor. The only one brand I wasn't able to spot in KHI was Panerai for some odd reason. Infact I had a long chat with one of the jewellers and he said that people don't like the Panerai look. And that jeweler carreid everything from a Patek to the lower end Oris. I've never seen such a gigantic collection under one roof, was just amazing. I wish I was smart enough to pick up a Tudor:(

Perhaps maybe on my next trip ...

They have a few models I really really like. And I think their designs are superb, plus I actually like ETA movements.

I recall reading something a while back about Nicholas Hayek, owner of the Swiss Watch Group (Blancpain, Breguet, Omega, et al) buying ETA and making it proprietary in 2010 and not selling movements to other watch companies. I wonder what Rolex will do. Maybe Tudor will have a Rolex made movement in the future.
