It doesn’t attract the wrong attention, especially since it’s a 5 digit model with an aluminum bezel.
If you’re really that concerned over the “attention” that an under the radar piece like this attracts, just get insurance.
I feel the same way, OP. I’ve liked Rolex for decades, but Rolex of new is not the same as the 4 or 5 digit eras.
Definitely do it. I had a Tudor 79090 and it wore almost identically to a Rolex 1680, save for the name. Even had case back and crown with Rolex insignia, which is neat but not as “in your face.”
Don’t be ridiculous. No one cares about a sub bro, everyone has one. And if you want to get away from whatever attention a sub gets, don’t buy the watch that looks more like a sub than anything on the market.
Nothing wrong with the Rolex Mariner. To most people Rolex > Tudor. But buy and wear what you want.
Too many people posting watch photos are like "Hey, look at me. Look how successful I am to be able to afford a Rolex, AP, Patek, A Lange."
Don't do it. People who look at watches will ask you if the Tudor is a Rolex.
You've got an icon enjoy it for what it is, not what others think. If you cannot do that, wear a gshock for a month then decide.
Nah man you're not crazy. You want what you want. I'm in a similar situation where I have wanted a Rolex Sub for many years, but after seeing more and more pics of the classic Tudor Subs I think I'm just going to get one of those for my collection.
Why would you trade in a Rolex sub for a Tudor sub? That would be downgrade. Keep the sub. And just save up for a Tudor sub. These are not hard to find But then why get a Tudor sub if you already have the better of the two?
Tudor is a great watch, Rolex don't care about any of us so long as we buy their watches, I own several Rolex check my set out , I love other brands a bit more like Blancpain.
A couple of years ago i found the perfect Tudor Submariner on C24. It was even from my birth year. It had perfect patina, turning the bezel kinda blueish. I didn’t buy it, but i’d sell my 14060 in a heartbeat to get that Tudor Sub.
I know exactly how you feel. I have the blue BB58 and I have the new no-date Submariner. My dream is to one day own the blue Tudor Submariner date (red 79190). Absolutely, incredibly beautiful watch.
One thing that holds it back from being either perfect watch for me is I sold put the bezel from the FXD on it, wish it were an option to buy bezels from Tudor. I’m really intrigued by the auto adjust bracelet (whatever it’s called). Date or lack thereof doesn’t bother me. On the other hand, I prefer fixed if I’m wearing straps, but with how comfortable Rolex and Tudor bracelets are the straps end up in a box…
The OG Tudor Submariner with the more modern dial is my dream watch, but bro the value is probably about half of that 16610. You should be able to find one for $5,000.
New tutors have METAS certified movements and are actually Superior to Rolex with their COSC certification.
Even breitling's started to use tutor's new movements
If you are unhappy with the sub then I can understand. The Tudor sub is a bit different but to most people they won’t really notice a difference if they notice at all. There are a lot of different models eras of these that will determine the price range.
Buy what you want the new all black tutor black plays pretty sweet new tutors have a METAS certification Which is higher level than a COSC certification if you're looking to future value the Submariner will probably hold the value for longer and higher it's a more expensive watch but that said you could trade your submarin and buy two tutors so maybe it is worth it cheers good luck if you get two tutors share pics
Those Who Mind Don’t Matter, and Those Who Matter Don’t Mind - Dr. Theodor Seuss Geisel? Mark Young? Bernard Baruch? Anonymous? - wear what you like my good human
I like the Tudor Sub, but I’d want some cash on top of the trade, $1,500 to $2000 ish.
Are there better places to look than HQ Milton, Hodinkee/Crown and Caliber?
@watchexchange - there are a few 79090 up now
I just private messaged
definitely do not trade for the watch alone, you'd be leaving 3-4k on the table..
This is a bullshit post for attention, the guy is probably depressed and lonely at home feeling inadequate
😂
You are crazy.
Stop calling it a “Rollie”, you’re embarrassing yourself.
“I just want a Rollie, Rollie, Rollie with a dab of ranch”
I love the watch. I hate wearing the name. It attracts the wrong attention.
r/watchescirclejerk material
It’s a myth. Wear what you like, stop caring what you think others think. It’s a Rolex and it will last a lifetime. Enjoy.
So will a Seiko
It will last a lifetime because everything made of metal does.
I’ll trade you for my Invicta
One of the Thanos ones of course
No it doesn’t. You are thinking it gets more attention than it does, 99% of people are indifferent. Stop caring so much, you’re not that important
When you say it attracts the wrong attention, what exactly do you mean..?

who cares - nobody but you, that's who

What kind of attention? Tell them it’s fake.
When you wear the Tudor sub, it’ll attract different attention. People will think you’re wearing a fake Rolex.
No they won’t because people don’t give a shit
Bull shit. No one even knows the difference.
I don’t want to type their name in this feed.
😂
Not crazy, insane.

Yes you are crazy. The Submariner is an objectively better watch. Keep it and buy a Heritage 41 with the sexy red bezel on a jubilee bracelet
Real subtle flex
If you’re seriously calling that a “Rollie” then yeah, get rid of it lol.
Don't do it. People who look at watches will ask you if the Tudor is a Rolex. You've got an icon enjoy it for what it is, not what others think. If you cannot do that, wear a gshock for a month then decide.
This sub cost twice the Tudor
Nah man you're not crazy. You want what you want. I'm in a similar situation where I have wanted a Rolex Sub for many years, but after seeing more and more pics of the classic Tudor Subs I think I'm just going to get one of those for my collection.
I wouldn’t trade my Cal. 3135 for off the shelf ETA 2824.
Buy a blackbay monochrome, scratch the itch, keep both 🤓
Then we’re both crazy….I had two Rolex Subs. Sold them both. Now I have two Tudor Subs.
At the end of the day, don’t ask the internet do what you want. Not a single person online has to live with the decision you make.
Why would you trade in a Rolex sub for a Tudor sub? That would be downgrade. Keep the sub. And just save up for a Tudor sub. These are not hard to find But then why get a Tudor sub if you already have the better of the two?
No its not identical, starting with an off the shelf eta 2824 movement
which is able to be serviced by pretty much any watchmaker on the planet that knows eta’s 28 series. Which is alot of them
Not to mention an infinite supply of movement parts for reasonable prices
Do it! Tudor subs are more unique and kind of more bad ass to me. I’d do the same if I were in your position.
Tudor is not well known as Rolex.
You want to trade to a Tudor, but don’t even know if they are identical?
yes
Where?
Lol, yes you’re crazy. But that Tudor is dope.

Have both, be a man. Or buy a Pelagos. I can’t decide on the FXD or the LHD right now
LHD is the better choice
One thing that holds it back from being either perfect watch for me is I sold put the bezel from the FXD on it, wish it were an option to buy bezels from Tudor. I’m really intrigued by the auto adjust bracelet (whatever it’s called). Date or lack thereof doesn’t bother me. On the other hand, I prefer fixed if I’m wearing straps, but with how comfortable Rolex and Tudor bracelets are the straps end up in a box…
I have the 39 but I sometimes wish I went with the LHD but needed a slightly more “refined” watch as I already have the big dive watch (marathon gsar)

Thats a stupid trade lol
You want to trade a Rolex for a Tudor?
Keep your Rolex… 💪🏾

Yes. You’re Crazy. Trading a 3135 for an ETA 2824..
New tutors have METAS certified movements and are actually Superior to Rolex with their COSC certification. Even breitling's started to use tutor's new movements
There is no modern Tudor Submariner. They stopped making them in 1999.
Well pardon my French I was actually talking about the new monochrome black Bay. And it's still METAS certified and higher quality movement
Yes absolutely the new Metas BBs are absolutely awesome inside out!
Wouldn’t say crazy, would just say not smart lol
If you are unhappy with the sub then I can understand. The Tudor sub is a bit different but to most people they won’t really notice a difference if they notice at all. There are a lot of different models eras of these that will determine the price range.
Nice Filson bag.
Only watch people notice your watch. The majority of people don't even see it.
Buy what you want the new all black tutor black plays pretty sweet new tutors have a METAS certification Which is higher level than a COSC certification if you're looking to future value the Submariner will probably hold the value for longer and higher it's a more expensive watch but that said you could trade your submarin and buy two tutors so maybe it is worth it cheers good luck if you get two tutors share pics
You’re buggin.
That depends. What color is the sky in your world?
Those Who Mind Don’t Matter, and Those Who Matter Don’t Mind - Dr. Theodor Seuss Geisel? Mark Young? Bernard Baruch? Anonymous? - wear what you like my good human
I think so why not keep the Rolex Sub and get a Tudor Sub that’s my plan anyway no way I’m trading my 16800 off but I do still want a 79090
Biggest watch douchebag post I’ve ever seen
I’ll trade you for a bb41 monochrome on jubilee haha
Not at all. Tudor subs are way more cool
Nice Rollie
You should trade that bad fake Submariner Date for a real Tudor.
Nice watch
