Owner Review: Tudor North Flag – the indie Tudor tool choice

I got this as an everyday day casual watch, which was a brief that had been exclusively filled by divers for me previously. This was before I got into owning a number of watches that those not in the watchfam would consider ridiculous. I had been wearing an Omega Planet Ocean, large, orange, my most…

Owner Review: Tudor Prince Oysterdate

I have touched on the relationship between Rolex and Tudor in some of my previous Fifth Wrist reviews. Tudor is the sister company of Rolex. Their watches have always been intended to be as tough as a Rolex but at a more affordable price point. I think the Tudor Prince Oysterdate really embodies this philosophy.…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay 58

The Tudor Black Bay 58 is one of those watches that needs no introduction. It’s a watch that has become one of those watches that ends up on everyone’s list of relatively reasonably priced watches to recommend anyone. The smaller little brother/sister of the original 41mm Black Bay, this gorgeous thing stands out in photos.…

Owner Review: Tudor Submariner 94010 Lollipop

The term lollipop comes up quite often when it comes to watches and not just with the Tudor Submariner 94010 Lollipop. It usually refers to either dial markers or watch hands. For the dial markers, it sometimes does resemble quite like a lollipop; the round dial marker, touching the straight minute marker, resembling a lollipop…

Owner Review: Tudor Oyster Prince 7995 Tuxedo Dial

The Tudor Oyster Prince 7995 with the “Tuxedo Dial” is an almost iconic example of mid-60’s culture (this particular watch was manufactured in 1966). It was originally intended to be strictly a dress watch and typifies the style of watch many would wear to work along with a suit during this period. The Tudor Oyster…

Owner Review: Tudor Submariner 7016/0

The Tudor Submariner 7016/0 is a birth year model for me. Along with razors and pens, the birth year watch was a must have for me for some reason. My wife found this model at HQ Milton in San Francisco and was impressed with the attention to care and detail they offered. I knew what…

Owner Review: Tudor Submariner 7016/0 Snowflake

In 2017, my passion for vintage grew. My good buddy was a keen watch fanatic, who especially loved vintage. I tried on his vintage Submariners, and like any watch enthusiast, once you try on a watch, and if it clicks with you, you know it instantly. The watch I tried was a 1980 Tudor Submariner…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay GMT

Introduction Tudor Black Bay GMT was one of the hottest watches to be released at Baselworld 2018 alongside the Black Bay 58 and its cousin, the Rolex GMT Master II “Pepsi”. My attention was instantly with the Black Bay 58, but over time the GMT pulled me away and eventually led to me parting with…

Owner Review: Tudor Submariner 79090 – The Other Rolex Sub

Until a few years ago, Tudor was always shadowed by its bigger sibling; Rolex. This was never intended, as Tudor was created to develop designs while using cheaper, more affordable components, attributing to one of many reasons why the Tudor Submariner 79090 is pursued today. Housed in a Rolex case, with the famous logo on…

Owner Review: Tudor Submariner Snowflake

The vintage Tudor Submariner Snowflake needs no formal introduction due to its military and sports heritage amongst collectors. I love sport watches (divers, chronographs, GMT) which are functional as tool watches in both daily and sports activities but also elegant enough for a dinner party. Vintage sports watches which come with a rich history of…
