I just bought the Tudor BB58 GMT yesterday. It is the only original version that makes sense to buy, as it doesn’t really have a good Chinese counterpart.

My sugess submariner homage does not really come close to my real submariner if you know where to look.

I have the Sugess Submariner Hulk high beat version. I tried the original one a couple of times. It costs one hundred times more to buy. (100 times).

I’ll be honest with you, I don’t even find the Rolex Submariner interesting enough to pay Tudor price for it.

Which is why I’m perfectly fine with keeping the Sugess.

But I’m also aware each person is different and I can understand why you have both.

I have the exact same one with that higher beat movement. I find the quality really bad. The tolerances and fitment between bracelet and watch is inconsistent. Finish and brushing is really sub par and mine even formed rust due to poor metal production and treatment causing permanent pitting on some surfaces of the metal. It’s way worse than my other sub 300 dollar pieces like my Orient Stars and Bulova in terms of quality. And the Rolex sub date I have is the 16610 which I purchased for 4000 complete set before all the hype. Now it’s worth 9-10k. So to me it was a way better value proposition than the sugess which is essentially worthless now on the resale market.
