Tudor Day/Date versus Rolex Day/Date
Any opinions on whether I should purchase a Tudor Day/Date or a Rolex Day/Date? Your thoughts are appreciated!

Get the best you can afford, or the one you like.

I have always been attracted to the Tudor DD and have owned a Rolex DD (18038).
Tudor DD is a $1500 watch vs a $9,000 Rolex DD watch. Rolex DD only came/comes in precious metals, Tudor Day Dates came in stainless steel. Whats your budget? |

I can go either way. I am attracted to the Tudor with black dial and smooth ss bezel. If I get the Rolex, then I will have to get smooth white gold or platinum to get the look I want.
Will both last for generations, or is the Rolex more likely to be something to pass on to my son? It is a watch I plan to wear every day. |

Thanks everyone - what about the size - doesn't the Tudor come in a larger diameter?

I have had 2 tudor day dates, the regular and the "jumbo." neither held my attention very long. I do, however, want to add a tudor thunderbird to my collection.

Well, maybe I should get both. The Tudor for everyday and the Rolex for special occasions. Anyway, thanks for your input! If you have more thoughts, please let me know.

Nothing wrong with the Tudor but for non-sport models like the DayDate I would go with Rolex.

Why do you say that 1William? Is the Rolex more water resistant? Or just more appealing as a non sport model?
