Long story short guys, I paid for a Tudor gmt set to come in December. But today, I got a call saying that my local ad will be getting a sub date ss this Friday. My question is, should I dump the Tudor for the Rolex and get my deposit back? Or just keep both? I’m kinda in a money crunch but not like end of my life sort of thing. Help me choose haha.

Submariner is hard to beat. Especially for Hawaii

Fishrus · 11 October 2018, 12:17 PM

Why not both?

oldman2005 · 11 October 2018, 12:18 PM

It's pretty simple: Rolex over Tudor

dollar919 · 11 October 2018, 12:23 PM

Sub, no questions

t65tampa · 11 October 2018, 12:26 PM

For me, I'd rather have the Rolex.

rebel_1 · 11 October 2018, 12:34 PM

Rolex.

What are your pros and cons for each?

YoyoGift8 · 11 October 2018, 12:36 PM

Depends on which one you like more if you cannot get both.

If there is any way you can do both, do. If not, Sub.

Pauln · 11 October 2018, 12:41 PM

Sub

Yep. Totally agree. I wouldn't own both. Especially, since you have a minor financial concern.

importstunna · 11 October 2018, 12:48 PM

Sub without a doubt. If you can't get your money back for the GMT, just sell it if you are in a tight situation.

Amochosto · 11 October 2018, 12:48 PM

If you are tight on cash I’d avoid buying an expensive watch. But if you need a watch right now buying the Tudor makes sense it’s a very nice watch and quite a bit cheaper.

gaeleus · 11 October 2018, 12:49 PM

Sub. You won't regret it. Best watch out there

Speedfreek28 · 11 October 2018, 01:09 PM

Thanks for your input guys! Definitely want the Rolex. I could pull off both but I’m kinda one of those one watch and done sort of guys.

NJRolexFan · 11 October 2018, 01:10 PM

Sub definitely a better watch. If money is tight though maybe hold off?

uansari1 · 11 October 2018, 03:25 PM

I love GMT complications, but the Sub is a superior watch and the Tudor just can’t match it. Apples and oranges. I’d get the Sub without another thought.

Sub!

ndrs63 · 11 October 2018, 03:28 PM

Go for the sub. GMT is handy for the 24h feature, but I personally can manage time zones with a simple bezel as well.

Rolex > Tudor every time.

Speedfreek28 · 11 October 2018, 04:08 PM

Thanks for kind input again guys! I should’ve rephrased, I’m not in a money crunch but would rather just own one watch for now, but totally was aiming for the sub. I’m just happily caught off guard one was coming in so soon. The AD told me 5 people already asked about one and with the holidays coming up I’m pretty sure getting a sub or even a Tudor will be very difficult. I can say that I’ve waited about 2 months before I got the call today so not bad of a wait.

Stevec14 · 11 October 2018, 04:21 PM

If you only want one watch, go with the sub. The Tudor gmt is a great watch, but if you want a Rolex it won’t scratch that itch and you will probably end up getting both, or flipping the Tudor.

Once you are comfortable money wise, the Tudor will be an option as an add, and likely they will be more available by then.

As much as I wanna say that the sub will be my last watch I’m highly sure that next year I’ll be wanting something else haha. Btw, I have to ask, how many rolex’s do you guys see on a daily or weekly basis? At work or when I’m out I don’t see any..maybe the occasional gold and stainless ladies date just on the ladies but I never seem to see any subs, sea dwellers, Daytona’s or any other ss model. It just has me wondering about this “shortage”. How can there be a shortage when most people that I see don’t even wear a ss Rolex?

Stevec14 · 11 October 2018, 04:38 PM

I see quite a few, but i work in an area of London that you’d expect to. Where I live I see very few. That said, I don’t look too hard.

I would wait until you’re flush. The watches will still be there when you’re in a better place financially.

But if I had to choose, sub no doubt.
