Rolex Sub LB or Tudor Harrod’s

I recently was able to get the Tudor BB Harrod’s. It’s a really nice watch. Over the weekend I got the call to buy the 126610LV. It was way before I was expecting to get it. I also love this watch. But I think they may be redundant. Which one would you keep. Or are they not redundant at all and it’s in my head?

To my eyes the SubLV 100%, love mine. The green is more vibrant.

Its a tough call, I recently acquired the Harrods BB as well but won't get my hands on it until the next time I am in the UK.

I think they each fill their own role without being redundant. I have the Tudor GMT and am waiting on the BLRO, that being said the BLRO would never be a replacement for my Tudor GMT. I wear my Tudor on hikes, when walking the dogs or any other activity where I don't intend to be super careful. My Rolex are more for work/when going out.

I currently have my Tudor on the NATO although I bought it on the bracelet. If I had your two I would likely do the same since it even comes with a NATO or put it on a nice rubber strap and keep the Rolex as is.

Not an overlap in my eyes. Keep them both if life and funds allow.

Although I love my BB Harrods, I must admit in your photos it looks like the poor relation

Keep the Sub

Its the indoor vs outdoor lighting and a lot more glare falling on the BB dial. I actually prefer its deeper green aluminum bezel.

Voted both.

If funds allow for it, keep both. If not, sell the BB.

I previously owned the Tudor black bay harrods but found the profile too thick for my liking. I also own a bluesy and that fits just perfectly. I’d keep the LV if I were you!

I don't get the Tudor Harrod at all, so I'd keep the new sub.

I’m not even a sub-c guy and I’ll say the sub-c over the two.

The Rolex 126610LV looks classier and more refined than the Tudor Harods. Submariner is such a classic.

Keep whichever you prefer. If impossible to separate, keep both.

I don't like the Tudor and like the Sub LV. So what? You do you.

I own the Hulk and the Harrod's Green. Both great watches and a lot of fun. They are different enough that they can both live in the collection. The easy answer is get the Rolex and see how they do once you get past the Honeymoon phase. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

My opinion is they are both great pieces. He fact that you had the opportunity to acquire them both at retail is a rarity. I personally would wear them both as they are equally cool in their own way.

Love my bb58 but in this comp, LV everytime. I do think they overlap. I would flip it for a regular 58 or blue if you have nothing blue in your collection.

For me the LB in the title is the real choice.
