pare, wag mo ilang-"lang" ang seiko.  wear it with pride

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

wear ALL watches with pride, be it a rollie, pan, speedy, seiko, lorus, Q&Q or your friendly greenhills replica. wearing one, of course, is different from passing off a replica as a genuine. i know many billionaires who wear a replica and just keep silent about it. when asked they admit it is a replica but few close ones dare ask. i notice most who wear fakes and claim it as genuine have a common denominator of insecurity. watches, like cars, have somehow become a status symbol, earning quite a following. learn how to appreciate a work of art and engineering, but realize that a watch is just a watch, after all.

accdg. to my watch dealer friend, their best seller for that model is military green dial. most buyers are youth below 20. the second best seller is the lumibrite, which most customers are 25and above.

this is a question which is most usually asked on rolex forums and probably other watch forums. can the tudor be considered a rolex in terms of quality and is it worth the price? others view it as another tag in the making while others view it as an authorized rolex rip-off. your views, gentlemen?

Pare, almost almost the same with the first link--except that mine has no numerical markers and no date display. Pero malapit na itsura. The 2nd link is almost the same na rin--except mine has the double raised marker only on the 12th mark.

 

Ganda ng pictures!

 

Cheers!

first things first, does rolex still own tudor? i heard from someone that that rolex sold the tudor line.

 

in reply to your question, i think rolex owners would like to have the exclusive domain of a rolex. they wouldnt want to have anything to do with the so-called "poor cousin". tudor owners, on the other hand, should hold their ground. tudor owners should not settle for the "poor man's rolex" branding. a tudor is a quality watch.

 

i don't own a rolex nor a tudor so my comments are unbiased.

i own both so im not biased either.

 

i dont know if they sold the tudor line but if they did, rolex centers wouldnt probably be servicing tudors anymore. tudor's main selling point is the affiliation and resemblance to rolex. in a way it is a poor man's rolex, but i stands out with its own identity parallel to that of rolex. tudors are finely crafted watches, sometimes having designs rolex doesnt have. take for example the presidential day-date which is not available in 2 tone for rolex but is for tudor. theres also the chrono (except for the tiger series) which is also a beauty and more practical than the daytona. tudor also has some qualities rolex doesnt like its own bracelet which is unlike the rolex jubilee bracelet, easily stretched. tudor is right in differentiating itself from rolex but i doubt if it can survive without rolex. on its own, it is just an overpriced generic watch with an eta movement with more traditional designs competing with tag, breitling and omega.

Spot on! I would rather wear an original Timex, than wear a fake Rolex and brag that it's the real thing. Incidentally, I had a Timex, pero gold pocket watch siya, at hand wound circa 1980s. Now if i could only find it...

the main function of a watch is to tell accurate time. as long as it does its job, there's no contesting its a fine watch.

 

timex are also good beaters. i heard somewhere before that they were made in bataan. quite popular in usa, it is just recently that they have been aggresive in marketing locally.

I think they still are. I might buy their heart rate with watch. Alam mo na I need to watch my heart rate when I exericise. Di na kasi teenager. At P3,800 yata, it is a much cheaper alternative to a Polar HR monitor. Plus you're helping our countrymen keep their jobs. Timex was famous (and is still famous) for its Ironman series which has metamorphosed into sports watch variants. I heard there was this CEO/owner of one of the top 10 companies who uses a Timex.

ever since my dad gifted me with a white faced breitling navitimer for my first solo flight i've been wearing only but breitlings. i then added a blue faced navitemr world and black faced navitmer heritage to my collection.

my watch dealer friend told me that casio's version of heart monitor is not accurate. it has also remained the same model for the past 5 years.

many people who are affluent are still very simple. i know a top 100 corp owner who takes a cab and another who drives a revo.
