i actually bought this for myself to celebrate my retirement from service (22yrs in the Navy). it’s PERFECT (aside from a lack of lume). it’s so beautiful that it’s VERY easy to overlook 🥰
J…congrats on the retirement & thanks for your service! I did 21 years in the Air Force as a C-130 nav & retired in ‘20. I had a “retirement watch fund” saved & got myself a Black Bay 58 blue after much consideration. It hasn’t left my wrist since I got it!
Congrats on retirement and thank you for your service, both you and Chris Con. Thats a great looking watch. It may be a dress luxury, but with 100m water resistance and a workhorse Tudor in house movement, it's also a go anywhere, do anything watch. Enjoy it in good health.
Wow! What a surprise. Wearing my 1926 right now! 36mm in white with the blue hands and numerals. Great classic dial and size with amazing bracelet, and modern 100m wr and screw down crown. :).
I sold all my watches (including a Junghans with which i had a terrible experience with the seller) and bought this 1926 with gold indices in 36mm and i love it
I love wearing my 41mm white dial/gold hands 1926! It’s a stunner! Lots of compliments from it and it’s just a nice time piece, especially for the money. Is it expensive, yea it is, but not compared to other watches. Just depends on what you want in a watch. The 1926 checked all the boxes for a luxury dress watch for me.
I bought this model last October as a self funded birthday present JODY!👍🏼 I went for the Opaline dial with blued hands. A stunning watch & a under the radar Tudor! Great specs especially for this kind of money!😎👌🏼
I got the 36mm black version 2 years ago to celebrate my graduation. Excellent build quality and really nice bracelet! People diss on it cos it doesnt have an inhouse movement tho
I have the 39mm in the same color configuration shown here (I have a 200mm wrist). I purchased it back in 2018 when they were still using the ETA 2824 movement. It is an excellent watch for the money. I wore it every day for a few years with no troubles. It now serves as a dress watch for me. Highly recommended watch for the money.
My wife and kids got me the 36 w/ the blue hands. Really love the watch and still in the honeymoon phase. Has become my daily office watch. Not an in-house "snob", might be one in the future, but definitely not now. Mine is running better than Peter's but it's still in break in period too, so seeing how that goes. Looking forward to possibly getting more Tudor's in the collection at some point. Thanks for the look!
I was searching for a 38mm and found the Tudor Style. Ok the internet pics it looks like another basic watch. But having it on my wrist I found out how good it is. Such an underrated model.
The 41 white dial with blue hands and indices was my first luxury watch purchase. I love the look, size and feel. I find it very versatile and is always nice to look at.
That ordering of the watch addiction process in the intro hit home way too hard haha. I'm not quite up to the luxury watch part yet but I do have my first Tissot on the way.
Excellent review. Hits the key points. I bought the black dial/silver markings 36mm. A bit sportier, so that you could wear it swimming and not look overdressed. If I descend any further than 100M, something horrible will have happened. Tourneau tweaked the links to get the bracelet to fit perfectly. It's as good as my ancient, Omega, 'grains of rice" bracelet on my 64 Seamaster, which always fit well. My 1926 is from nearly four years ago and may have an ETA movement. But either ETA or Selita gets customized by Tudor. If they could tweak the 1926 to get COSC certified, it would give the watch an additional edge.
I’ve never been much of a luxury/dress watch fan, and this hasn’t changed my mind, but i have thought about a watch for those rare occasions I have to wear a tie and an ironic G-Shock won’t do, and a diver doesn’t fit under my cuff!
Don't buy from Jomashop. They sell used and refurbished watches as new, and the brands usually won't service a watch that comes from them (that's why they give in-house warranty).
@@vintageswiss9096 already have. No problems with watch condition and they tell you up front that for most watches, the warranty is covered by themselves. A great option to save on a watch
I agree that Tudor is the stronger brand in this tier (by a long way), but I'd put Longines and Oris in the podium places, and I think the order would depend on the watch in question. But for this watch style, I'd be going with Longines. It's just much more their wheelhouse, and I think they've got some great options. If I were looking for a dive watch, I'd be tossing up between Tudor and Oris.
My first luxury watch was (and still is) an Oris Artix GT Chronograph. It is a watch I still wear with a big smile whenever I put it on. Also, Oris is often marked down further than the other brands mentioned on grey market platforms such as Jomashop, Ashford and ebay. I got mine for barely over 1k USD - which is a stunning bargain for any new watch with a Valjoux 7750 derivative inside, let alone one from a well-recognized brand auch as Oris.
Tudor get credibility they might not actually deserve from their Rolex association. That said, it works my daily watch is a Tudor BB Heritage. Call me a snob but I wouldn't wear a Longines or Oris...I'd rather wear my G-Shock.
I've heard some say that 2023 is going to be the year of the dress watch, and something like this Tudor has enough dressy clout while still being sporty enough for daily wear. My pick at this price point though is a quartz Grand Seiko - it does all that and you don't have to worry about a 38-hour power reserve.
For me this has been the first luxury watch and now that I've been owning this for many years I can say that for me the answer is yes! A model that can be easily dressed up or down depending on the color and material configuration you chose, from a great brand with an important history, with a great design and finishing is for sure a great point to enter the luxury world. Now I'm lucky enough to own also more expensive watches, but this definitely is one of my favorite in the collection.
Caught this just after midnight in Texas, it’s my beautiful wife’s birthday! Been looking at Omegas lately for my first luxury watch though. Tudor is in the top 3 though.
I bought my wife an Ebel with the wave bracelet about 15 years ago and still looks great because the links are only polished at the join where they are protected. I've since had to have it serviced so bought her a Citizen EcoDrive while it was away. It cost less than the service and guess which gets most wrist time?
@@hattyfarbuckle Ha! Some ladies don’t care about the name; they know a solid watch when they see one! My Promaster GMT is hands down my most worn watch. You can’t argue with the bulletproof nature of a 200m diver with the bombproof Eco Drive movements.
@@thetruebatman4632 i misplaced my 10yr+ EcoDrive and left it without any light source for maybe a year... Found it in summer and still dead after the first day indoors in a window.. One more day of direct bright sunlight outdoors and its been fine ever since. Eco Drive is up there with original quartz, G Shock and Spring Drive as astounding technical achievements. I really should investigate if i can replace the damaged glass with sapphire
I bought the 39mm white and blue as my “first luxury” watch. I was worried about it being too dressy for shorts and tee shirt in summer but it’s not. Great every day and situation watch. If anyone is on the fence about this watch you won’t regret getting it. Another great video!
My first jump into the "luxury" market was actually a Longines Master Collection Chronograph, but the1926 has actually been on my radar for a while now. It will probably be my birthday present to myself!
Jody, this is scary. It’s like you‘ve been watching my life! When I got into the hobby, my first auto was a Seiko 5. I then got many homages. My first Swiss was indeed a Tissot then a hamilton. And just this week I purchased my first ‘luxury’ watch. It was going to be a BB58, but I got a chance at my grail- A Seamaster. It’s the older lacquer dial co-axial, but it’s absolutely gorgeous, and whilst being a bit hesitant with it the first few days, I’m loving it. I agree Tudor is a great choice, though I’m not a dress watch guy, so the BB58 was always my choice. You can get a good used example, maybe a year old for around £2000.
It’s a beautiful watch but has an off the shelf movement think for the money you could spend a little more and pick up Baume et Mercier with a 5 day power reserve or something in the Oris line for cheaper. Think some of the price of it is the name as Tudor is a well respected name.
Given my 10-slot watch box is full with Casio, vintage Citizen, and HMT -- plus the perpetual state of my bank balance -- I have never been plagued with that question. 😄 But if I ever win the lottery or particularly rich in-laws, I will get a Tank Louis.
Luxury is a fascinating concept because it different for everybody but it always says a lot about the person defining it. It would be interesting to me to see a watch enthusiast with a PhD in philosophy do a video just on the concept of luxury. Like what it means to the person, socially, ect..
Nice shirt Jody! Lived in Southern California for much of my life, and listened regularly to the station. Good music, good news…good taste my friend. Oh, and of course, great episode!
I have a Tudor royal and it has a very similar bracelet design. 20 mm instead of 22 and five link instead of seven. It is one of the best bracelets I have ever worn.
Longines is the (basic) luxury brand that grabbed me first and it's held on so far. Tudors have never quite done it for me but that's OK. The thing about this hobby is that there is literally something for every single one of us.
@@fabricioquintans1204 I genuinely do not know. I'm not a very knowledgable collector. I buy what I like in my price range and both of them fit in there. Tudor seems to be a little closer to the top end of what I can afford and just like the style a bit more on the Longines watches. I'm sure it's a personal decision for each individual.
I own an Tudor mini-sub ,used to be my dads watch, a late 1980's model comes with rolex case back and crown, 36mm diver which is very unique recently. This early impression makes me feel tudor is a more highend brand compare with the longines, even the longines has a better watch for less money. I am pretty sure I saw one on Joma shop earlier this year with a very compatitive price. Around low $1000 usd.
Ill get this same on a bracelet, but i want it on a black a leather strap.....does anyone know where i can get a high quality strap....im thinking size 36 or 39
The good thing about working a night shift over the weekend is I get to sit in peace and quiet with a huge mug of tea and enjoy a video from a person who was mentioned in @AboutEfffingTime
Absolutely stunning looking watch Tho I don't really like the dial proportions on that one The hour markers are bit too small for such a big and clean dial, if they either made the index hands bigger or the hour markers it would've been perfect
The way you started the beginnings is basically my life . Started with a seiko gmt series 5 then brought a Tissot PRX automatic now I need to be with the big boys 😂😂😂
I can understand the "no lume" feature. it would not be reminiscent of the 1926 era. Big fan of Sellita mvt. Owning 12 auto watches, I can appreciate low maintenance costs. Beautiful piece.
ok this is on my list. on another video I asked about a 1926 homage but I think I may have to save up and buy the real thing. (I couldn't remember where I saw it first and got me interested, I think it was this video)
Totally agree - but as it turns out it was too dressy for me. I had one for a year and loved wearing it. But I noticed after one year that I had only eight occasions to wear it. So I traded for a Black Bay 58. And ooh-la-la! Sweet-spot nailed!
I was eyeing this one for my first luxury watch. But because of the zero micro adjusts, went with the BB36 instead. It is a beauty though, so perhaps on a leather strap . . .
If it had lume and micro adjustments i would have purchased it years ago. I tried this one at my local AD and it was nicely weighted and i feel like it would have been comfortable if i could have honed in on an exact fit. Its soo close to being a GATA watch...come one TUDOR
i like how it looks and wears, Just wish they went a different way the the deployment. It stick out and pushed againt the bracelet when our wearing it.
Longines as entry luxury, same league as Tudor? Hmmm. For me Tudor is an upper shelf. I bought my conquest VHP for 500 eur, this tudor is 4x more expensive at least. Am I a luxury owner for a bargain price? 😀
Before I watch this video , I wanna buy Tudor 1926 41 mm. But after I heard that Longines Record is superior but looks pretty similar, I start thinking about it. Now , Tudor 1926 41 mm is 1790 £, Longines Record 40 mm Blue is 2.250£ , but I also found a blue Longines Record with 38.5 mm for 1.575£. My wrist size is +- 18 cm, would be Longines Record with 38.5 mm a good option, or it gonna look to small on my hand an is better to get a Tudor 1926 41 mm? Thank you.
Speaking of Tudor I would prefer the Tudor Royal as a sporty-dress watch. Just because the integrated bracelet style is more versatile for me. It covers almost all styles of clothing, with the exception of the boring "black tie". 1926 is an amazing watch itself, and I see it as a part of my collection, but not like GADA.
Gorgeous watch, no doubt! I think this all comes down to what you define yourself. Personally I think Longines are the ideal entry luxury watches. Tudor I think definitely sit above them.
Great review Jody!!! Just bought the opaline blue 36 mm. And really glad that I did. Would it be fair to mention the Glycine Combat 6L Silver ref: GL 0346 as a more affordable option? Less water resistance but at a very attractive price!
my 1st swiss watch is a luminox and it tickles me that someone out there considers it to be "entry luxury" or "enthusiast" alongside brands like Hamilton or Tissot!
Not quite 1. Vostok (5 of) 2. Seiko5 (3 of) 3.Hamilton 4.Islander (3 of) 5. Seiko Prospex (2of) 6.Longine Master Chrono …..many Casios sprinkled in between and last watch was a 48mm Luna Pilot
i’ve been looking at Tudors entry level watches recently as well, and alongside the 1926 is actually one Id not heard of before called the ‘Tudor Style’ which is awfully reminiscent of 60s Rolex/Tudor date justs, perhaps worth a look at at some point as it’s even more under the radar than the 1926
Nice option. I'd vote for Oris Diver 65 with a Junghans Max Bill close second. Would agree Tudor MIGHT have higher name cache, but outside watch nerds, not sure either carries much weight. Also in US, outside watch folk, Id suspect Longines has more name recognition.
I've been looking at trhe Tudor Style alot, to me it seems to be an underrated watch of the brand because you barely find any reviews on it, yet it looks alot like a cheaper alternative for the Datejust
If one wants a dress watch, it is a good choice.. Not for me, but I don't have anything against it, pre owned you can more than likely get a good deal. Yes it's entry level. One benefit well two, one it's a unisex watch, two eta or eta clone means easy to get serviced at a reasonable price.

Hi Jody, I think you forgot the Tag Heuer Carrera in your direct comparisons. Same movement and half the price pre-owned.
Yes, agree, the Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 5 3-hand line is comparable and more versatile
The 41 white dial with blue hands and indices was my first luxury watch purchase. I love the look, size and feel. I find it very versatile and is always nice to look at.
I am considering 41 for my 7.2 inch wrist but I wonder if it would fit well. How does yours sit? Thanks!
That ordering of the watch addiction process in the intro hit home way too hard haha. I'm not quite up to the luxury watch part yet but I do have my first Tissot on the way.
Got the same model.41mm awesome look and really clasy . Only teh traine eye can spot is a tudor. Love it.!!
Excellent review. Hits the key points. I bought the black dial/silver markings 36mm. A bit sportier, so that you could wear it swimming and not look overdressed.

But either ETA or Selita gets customized by Tudor. If they could tweak the 1926 to get COSC certified, it would give the watch an additional edge.
Reminds me of the Aqua Terra. Looks lovely. I have BB36, and love it. The lack of micro adjust is a major overlook

39 in white/blue on the bracelet has me considering a doable, but ill advised, purchase.
It is a very comfortable watch to wear. I had the black and gold 41mm on bracelet but sold it because it was very difficult to read the time
I’m wearing my 38mm black dial Tudor Royal, $1749.00 US dollars at Jomashop. Very happy with it.

I love my 36mm with white dial/gold and leather strap, For my scrawny 6 1/2 wrist, is perfect!
Great review of a lesser-discussed model
I can understand the "no lume" feature. it would not be reminiscent of the 1926 era. Big fan of Sellita mvt. Owning 12 auto watches, I can appreciate low maintenance costs. Beautiful piece.
ok this is on my list. on another video I asked about a 1926 homage but I think I may have to save up and buy the real thing. (I couldn't remember where I saw it first and got me interested, I think it was this video)
I went to buy my first luxury watch last year and almost bought this. I saved up some more and bought the bb 58 in blue.
Totally agree - but as it turns out it was too dressy for me. I had one for a year and loved wearing it. But I noticed after one year that I had only eight occasions to wear it. So I traded for a Black Bay 58. And ooh-la-la! Sweet-spot nailed!
Another great review well done jodey.
I was eyeing this one for my first luxury watch. But because of the zero micro adjusts, went with the BB36 instead.
It is a beauty though, so perhaps on a leather strap . . .
If it had lume and micro adjustments i would have purchased it years ago. I tried this one at my local AD and it was nicely weighted and i feel like it would have been comfortable if i could have honed in on an exact fit. Its soo close to being a GATA watch...come one TUDOR
What do you think about Clifton Baume Mercier?
i like how it looks and wears, Just wish they went a different way the the deployment. It stick out and pushed againt the bracelet when our wearing it.
My wife got black dial with diamond indices on bracelet for Christmas. 28mm.
Looking at the same 28 black with diamonds. Or the 36 in rose gold. Would love to hear her review after a yr
Is it the white or silver dial?
Nice. Last video of the night is from one of my favorite channels. I hope the young one isn't robbing you of much sleep. Take care!
Hey Scott! One next weekend, who knew?! No, he is great, or I'm just used to it by now. Worth it though for sure. Have a great day mate.
It’s a beautiful looking watch ❤
What is the referece number for this exact model ?
Longines as entry luxury, same league as Tudor? Hmmm. For me Tudor is an upper shelf. I bought my conquest VHP for 500 eur, this tudor is 4x more expensive at least. Am I a luxury owner for a bargain price? 😀
Before I watch this video , I wanna buy Tudor 1926 41 mm. But after I heard that Longines Record is superior but looks pretty similar, I start thinking about it. Now , Tudor 1926 41 mm is 1790 £, Longines Record 40 mm Blue is 2.250£ , but I also found a blue Longines Record with 38.5 mm for 1.575£. My wrist size is +- 18 cm, would be Longines Record with 38.5 mm a good option, or it gonna look to small on my hand an is better to get a Tudor 1926 41 mm? Thank you.
All the Angelinos in the house love that shirt, Jody! Great public radio station shirt to accompany your great content.
Thanks, great video, great watch. Was on the fence but will pull the trigger
I am a Tudor fan! My BB Ceramic is rarely off my wrist.
Once I get my photography career going I think Tudor will definitely be my first luxury watch !!!
Speaking of Tudor I would prefer the Tudor Royal as a sporty-dress watch. Just because the integrated bracelet style is more versatile for me. It covers almost all styles of clothing, with the exception of the boring "black tie". 1926 is an amazing watch itself, and I see it as a part of my collection, but not like GADA.
Gorgeous watch, no doubt! I think this all comes down to what you define yourself. Personally I think Longines are the ideal entry luxury watches. Tudor I think definitely sit above them.
Sat here in a sweatshirt jeans and an indiglo Timex while my Zenith is sat in a box. It certainly is a luxury
How would this stack up against the Omega Deville Prestige collection?
Omega higher up the food chain, co-axial movement and much more expensive. I owned one before.
My favourite Tudor! The only one I'd consider buying actually.
I like this watch. The 39mm would fill the dress category at a decent price for a luxury brand. Thanks for the review.
Great review Jody!!! Just bought the opaline blue 36 mm. And really glad that I did. Would it be fair to mention the Glycine Combat 6L Silver ref: GL 0346 as a more affordable option? Less water resistance but at a very attractive price!
I love the 36 mm with blue hands. It's a beauty...
my 1st swiss watch is a luminox and it tickles me that someone out there considers it to be "entry luxury" or "enthusiast" alongside brands like Hamilton or Tissot!
Indeed a good 24/7 one-watch calibre especially if you don't dive.
I'm far too clumsy to wear this all polished beauty all the time but admire anyone who does
Not quite 1. Vostok (5 of) 2. Seiko5 (3 of) 3.Hamilton 4.Islander (3 of) 5. Seiko Prospex (2of) 6.Longine Master Chrono …..many Casios sprinkled in between and last watch was a 48mm Luna Pilot
i’ve been looking at Tudors entry level watches recently as well, and alongside the 1926 is actually one Id not heard of before called the ‘Tudor Style’ which is awfully reminiscent of 60s Rolex/Tudor date justs, perhaps worth a look at at some point as it’s even more under the radar than the 1926
Nice option. I'd vote for Oris Diver 65 with a Junghans Max Bill close second. Would agree Tudor MIGHT have higher name cache, but outside watch nerds, not sure either carries much weight.
Also in US, outside watch folk, Id suspect Longines has more name recognition.
Love vibe of this channel
I've been looking at trhe Tudor Style alot, to me it seems to be an underrated watch of the brand because you barely find any reviews on it, yet it looks alot like a cheaper alternative for the Datejust
That is one really nice looking watch.
If one wants a dress watch, it is a good choice.. Not for me, but I don't have anything against it, pre owned you can more than likely get a good deal. Yes it's entry level. One benefit well two, one it's a unisex watch, two eta or eta clone means easy to get serviced at a reasonable price.
If one has a large hand but small wrist (6.5 inch wrist) like I do, the 41 mm case will look ok.
