Tudor model that doesn’t scream Rolex copy

What is one model that doesn’t look like a total Rolex rip? I’m thinking blue Pelagos.

Clair De Rose, 1926, and P01 are the only ones that don't have some degree of Rolex DNA to them in my opinion.

And that's not a bad thing to me. All the other model have some bit of Rolex vibe, to varying degrees, but that's part of the appeal for me because they don't have the same vibe as a modern Rolex but more the older 5 digit and prior Rolex. The case chamfers alone give me such strong Rolex vibes but no current Rolex models uses them. I'm glad they still live on in the Tudor lineup.

I'm wearing an FXD right now and it feels very unique to Tudor but has very obvious ties to Rolex.

Good luck finding another titanium watch with a kickass extension clasp like the Tudor Pelagos. The new Tudor GMT is easier to get than a Rolex one and lacks pimple on crystal.

I’d agree with Pelagos, also the Monte Carlo until it’s recent discontinuation

I think Tudor have every right to release watches based on their shared heritage with Rolex & Tudor Submariners & Rolex GMT's. They are one company after all. Long may it continue.

The Tudor North Flag. It has since been discontinued.

I like my BB58. I am not bothered by any similarities to Rolex. I just love nice quality well built watches.

Me too, Kat. It’s not either—or.

Nice photos everyone.

I'd rather buy a modern BB than a vintage Sub. The build quality is very good for the price.

If Rolex have become too jewelry like, Tudor is there as a reminder.
