The close relationship of Rolex and Tudor is well documented, but up until this year, the easiest way to explain the difference between the two watches is that Rolex, at least modern Rolex, universally uses its famous in-house movements while Tudor always uses high-quality outsourced movements from ETA.

and it is the only watch i regret selling.

Secondly, there was the design, which combines elements of both vintage diver and chronograph watches — there are plenty of watches that combine features of both types of watches, but there seemed to be some feeling among vintage Tudor purists that these design domains should remain distinct from each other.

The thing about a chronograph with screw-down pushers is that, to operate the chrono, you have to, you know, unscrew the pushers — which is much easier done with the watch-off wrist.

Because they were never commercially available, those that have seeped into the collector's world are massively valuable.

I like the blue myself.

Well, I got a 39mm 1926 yesterday after I went out shopping for either an Oris pro pilot 41mm or a Tag Heuer carrera calibre 5.

The Tudor crown is protected by pointed crown guard, and the matte finish seems to work at hiding scratches really well.

Now, the rest of the watch feels like an amalgamation of everything great about watchmaking at the time of its launch.
