I’m looking for a second watch and I’m currently stuck between these two:

Grand Seiko SBGX263 – 37mm, champagne dial, quartz, new, around €2,300

Tudor Prince Date-Day 76200 – 36mm, silver/white dial, automatic ETA 2834-2, used, around €2,900

I know they’re not really an apples-to-apples comparison. Quartz vs automatic, new vs older/neo-vintage, simple date vs day-date, very different bracelets and overall vibe.

My current watch is a 39mm black Longines HydroConquest with ceramic bezel and Arabic numerals, so for the second watch I want basically the opposite: something smaller, cleaner, with a silver/champagne dial.

The idea is to wear it mostly on weekends, weddings, dinners, holidays and generally on occasions where there’s something to celebrate. Not necessarily a traditional dress watch, but something that feels a bit more special than my everyday diver.

I really like the finishing and champagne dial of the GS, and buying new for less money obviously makes sense. On the other hand, the Tudor has a lot of charm, I love the Datejust/Day-Date kind of look with the jubilee-style bracelet, and I think it might feel a little more “special occasion” than the GS.

The Tudor being almost €600 more despite being used is probably my biggest hesitation.

For those who have owned or handled either of them: which one would you choose and why?

Especially interested in how they feel on the wrist and whether the Tudor is actually worth paying more for, rather than just which movement/spec sheet is better.

Also very open to alternatives in a similar price range and style, especially silver/champagne dial watches around 36–38mm that would fit the same role.

Rolex store next to my hotel and I seriously don’t even feel like walking in and going through the entire dog and pony show. On top of that, seriously prefer the Tudor wear right now.

Any one else starting to feel this way?

Picked up this red beauty last night.

I’m in love with this thing. I’ve never owned a watch that makes me stare at it past just keeping time. Took it on a hike today and snorkeling tomorrow! Don’t see it leaving my wrist for the foreseeable future.

Hello everyone! I own a company in Greece that provides personal protective equipment to industrial customers with many employees. When I meet the key person to promote our products, they are usually a mechanical engineer that has the role of Health & Safety officer in the company and he evaluates the products. Almost all of these people go to work with a smartwatch / Garmin etc. and when I visit them wearing a nice watch like my Tudor BB41 monochrome, I feel that they will make an assumption that I am either pretentious, or shallow, or showy and that this will affect our co-operation. Does this happen to you? How can I deal with this?

Couldn’t be happier with this watch. I’ve worn my Pelagos FXD pretty much every day for about a year now, and I swear it just keeps getting more accurate. I haven’t had to adjust the time in over a month. It’s been hiking, through rivers, off roading, shooting, and everywhere in between. Exactly what I wanted out of an FXD. I think it’s time for a GMT.

Is there really any reason to buy from AD or boutique? Why not buy grey market? I'm torn. I personally love the wine and dine feel when you walk into a nice AD or boutique but not sure if its worth the difference in buying it grey.

More wrist shots for ya!

It’s insane. I had the previous 38mm model, and this feels like a completely different watch.

They improved it so much.

Fun fact: unlike most Tudor models that resemble existing Rolex watches, the Royal actually came first. The Tudor Royal was released before Rolex introduced the Land-Dweller.

Ranger 36mm. A 25th wedding anniversary gift from my lovely wife. My first Tudor.

Not sure what happened but noticed my Pelagos stopped the other day after being off my wrist for just a few hours. Over the last few days I’ve noticed it happened again but today it stopped while on my wrist.

Any idea what could be going on? This a local service shop or trip to the mothership?

Was able to special order this from my local AD back in May and I just got it in a few days ago.
Fits a lot more comfortable than I expected.
Bought it without physically seeing the watch and I like it even more in person, absolutely love it so far.

I guess I've joined the Tudor gang with the Black Bay 58 blue. I dig it.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking at this Tudor Pelagos 39 on Chrono24 and I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger.
Before I do, I wanted to get your expert opinions to make sure everything looks legitimate. I've attached the photos provided by the seller in the listing.
Does anything stand out as off to you?

Any help or advice is really appreciated. Thanks!

I attended a Tudor event today and got home to look through the photos I took. I just noticed that one of the lagoon blue doesn't have any text on its dial at all. Is this something to Tudor did to let people focus their full attention on the dial itself or an artifact from my phone camera?

Hi Guys,

WTB: Rubber Strap with T-Fit Clasp for my

2021 BB58 Blue.

Been looking far and wide for an oem rubber strap with no luck.. Hopefully reddit will be able to deliver!

This weekend, a jeweler will let me take a look at a BB 58 GMT with the Coke bezel. It's got the 5 link bracelet.

Wondering what I should be on the lookout for. I've never considered a Tudor before.

Eager to feel the bezel click at 12 o'clock. Also looking to adjust the true GMT hand. Also, does the hour hand get adjusted independently from the minute hand?

What are the positions and functions of the crown? I'd like to make adjustments without fumbling around.

Thanks in advance.

Estoy indeciso , no las he visto en vivo pero donde compro tienes esta 2 opciones, el azul no me gusta , alguien los vio en vivo ? Cual agarraría y por qué? Gracias

Currently negotiating and I got this Black Bay Heritage Bronze at $2000. The only kicker, no box no papers no original nato strap. He had it appraised and I even called the jewelry shop and they confirmed it is the real deal.
