I own both watches. The Rolex is the better watch, but I wear the Tudor far more often. It is far more comfortable on my wrist, and I think it looks better. I have not bonded with the Sub, but the Tudor has become one of my favorite watches in my collection.
I have rolexs full gold 2024 date bluesy and the Tudor reverse panda's wear the panda more. For steel watches most dont realize that it cost tudor and rolex about the same price to make. One is 3 times as much. Go figure.
I love my Tudor Panda & Omegas but I get nearly the same enjoyment out of my 500$ Seikos & Citizen. Same w/ cars,if I like something I like it & cherish it nearly as much.
I'd rather compare the BB 41mm monochrome to the sub than the BB 58... I own the Tudor BB 36mm Anthracite and the BB 54 next monochrome in my wishlist!
For anyone interested in the Black Bay 58. I’d highly recommend checking out the Black Bay 54. It’s so much more refined. And you hardly notice the smaller case size. It feels more “luxury”.
I just have the Tudor Black Bay 41mm blue bezel on the bracelet, not the BB58. I really like that watch but I slightly prefer my Omega Planet Ocean 43mm white dial, orange bezel on the bracelet. I honestly don't think I would like a Sub more than my PO.
The Rolex and its not even close. The black bay is a homage watch made from cheap materials. It feels cheap in your hand. Don't waste your money, buy the Rolex and don't look back
I do agree that I would want Rolex over Tudor IF I have to choose between the two only and IF it is my only watch. But as a person who owns both brands I am happy with Tudor for the quality at its price point~😅
These two watches are going after completely different aesthetics. It’s apples and oranges. The Tudor by no means feels or looks cheap. If anything the Rolex has been cheapened by countless knockoffs that all look nearly identical. The warm matte hues give an understand and elevated feel to the Tudor. Rolex is obviously the goat but this discussion would be more relevant comparing the sub vs the new monochrome rather than the heavily vintage inspired 58 gilt. Tudor is no longer the “poor man’s Rolex” it’s Toyota to Lexus and some people prefer a Landcruiser to an LX 🤷🏻♂️
You don’t own either. If you did you’d recognize the high build quality of the BB58 at its price point. Both Sub and BB58 are different enough in appearance and wear to coexist in a collection. I love my 124060 and waited 2 years to purchase, it’s an icon that I’ll have for my lifetime and give to my son. I also own a black BB58 and it is also a great watch but for different reasons and not a replacement for my Sub. The 58 is so well made and perfectly proportioned for a sports watch. It borrows from classic Tudors and Rolex without being a slave to an exact copy . It really is its own thing. The gilt bezel gives the 58 a warm feel, the red triangle offers a pop of color paying homage to the Tudor Big Crown, the chunky coin edge crown is so satisfying to wind with a refined matching coin edge bezel and I love the snow flake seconds hand. It’s different from the more traditional lollipop style. By the way, 39 mm is on the smaller side for a modern sized sports watch. I think anything smaller is playing vintage territory.

Thanks! Good to know from who actually owns and wears both watches! I would like to own both of them one day! 😀

Got my Panda on today,price gaps only matter on resale.
Tissot, and Casio Edifice is where it’s at for me. 👌🏼 ✨
I’d love a Cartier, and Tudor someday though. Love watches that support MotoGP.
Tissot and Casio are also great!!👍

Yes I agree!

Yeah that would have been a great comparison as well! Thanks!

That’s also a nice watch! 😀
Let's gooooo 🚀🚀🚀
Yes! Let’s goooooo!!
I’d wear both
If I get a chance to own both, YES!! 🤣🤣🤣
Cyclops date magnifier? And then have the model without date on the screen? 🤔
Yes that’s my mistake. I was gonna compare submariner with date but changed plan in the last minute! 😅
rolex, all day
I’m still deciding…😎 I think they both are great watch to own…(Im so greedy)
Team Sub!!
Team 58!!

Try to sound more biased I dare you 🤡
@liam_7017 Tudors are for people who can't buy the real thing...a Rolex. Deep down you know you want the Rolex. How's that?
