This is Watch Your Style.
My name is Eric.
Today, I'm going to be covering what I call, the "little brother" of Rolex.
That brand being Tudor watches.
So today I have for you the Tudor Heritage Black Bay.
Now, let me talk to you a little bit about Tudor.
Yes, Tudor is made by Rolex.
It was established in 1946 and it's pretty much in a nutshell a Rolex, but with a non-in-house
movement.
It's that simple.
Pretty much it's a watch that has the same pedigree and heritage as Rolex, but in a more
entry-level, cost-effective format.
You know, for someone that's trying to get an entry-level watch and wants something that's
well made, dependable, has heritage and brand recognition with other watch snobs, Tudor
watches is a brand that you must look into.
I really can't see another brand that can give you so much for such a good price point.
So the first thing that you notice when you look at this Black Bay is, right off the back,
it obviously has design cues very similar to a vintage Submariner.
That's something that I for one like, because the Submariner is an iconic model.
With the very balanced layout, one of the obvious things you notice is, the anodized
red bezel that looks almost exactly like the Submariner.
Some of the differences are, that the Tudor has more of a coined edge to the bezel, instead
of more of a serrated edge like the Submariner.
So there's lots of differences, but also plenty of similarities.
This is a watch that to me can go with anything.
You could put this watch on a nato strap, which is like I prefer it or perhaps maybe
a vintage, ammo leather strap.
Also, looks perfect, goes good with everything.
If you wanna have it on a bracelet or if you want to hipster it out and throw on different
colored straps on it, it's gonna go perfect.
Another thing you notice with this model, is it has a different crown than what the
regular Sub would bring.
This particular model brings no crown guards and it's got a very interesting looking crown
tube that's anodized red, that matches the bezel.
It's one of those little small features that to me, just grabs my attention.
Also the crown has an insignia on it, which is more of a decorative purpose, but also
gives it a nice touch.
It's automatic movement...It's got a Swiss ETA automatic movement, which helps keep the
cost down, as opposed to an in-house Rolex movement.
The case is 41mm.
It's got a very nice dial that gives it kind of like a vintage look with the gold hands
and the matte, black layout.
So for me, of the new Tudor lineup that was released, this is one of my favorite models.
And again, if you're looking to get a watch and you want to stay in the under $5,000 range
or maybe perhaps, you want something that's not going to make your wife upset because
you spent over $5,000, Tudor watches is a brand you may wanna look into and the Tudor
Black Bay is probably the one you're gonna wanna get.
So this particular model offered to you in stainless steel has a retail of around $3,100.
You can expect to pay for something like this in the area of $2,500 and, my opinion, you
get a very modest price watch.
You're getting a lot like I said.
You're getting a lot for your money and it's a superb quality.
And most of all, as far as the Watch Game, it's a watch that has brand recognition, so,
yeah of course there's always going to be the watch snobs, but the funny thing is that
this is one of the watches that you're going to see that most watch snobs will have in
their collection.
So when you look at a watch that a watch snob has that's under $5,000, most probably is
going to be a Tudor.
So Tudor has been around for already quite some time and it has a lot of rich history,
but one thing about Tudor that perhaps maybe turns some people off, and you hear it a lot
in the reviews, is that how there's always that stigma attached to it that it's a cheaper
Rolex.
To me, knowing that something is made, produced, or influenced directly by a Rolex brand, all
it says to me is quality.
So what you're getting for a low retail price is a lot of quality for this watch.
And to me, it makes it the premiere, entry level luxury watch.
If you're thinking about stepping out into you're beginner watches and you wanna jump
into the higher luxury watch market, Tudor watches is a brand that you might to consider.
They got several different models and of course there's gonna be one that you like.
Me, personally, I tend to lean more towards the Black Bay because of just the overall
layout and the simplicity.
You know, the Submariner overall layout is a proven design.
So, of course the Black Bay is going to appeal to me, because it's got very similar design
clues.
Plus what I mention to you with the versatility.
They got a couple different layout of this watch.
The particular one I have for you here is the one with the red bezel, which happens
to be one of my favorite because it stands out the most.
