When entry may be better: Rolex vs. Tudor vs. Sinn

Three watches. Rolex Yachtmaster in titanium. Tudor FXD in Titanium and the humble Sinn 104 st ta. How much do you actually get for your money and is more always better? This time I'm talking about how these watches have much more in common than you think and why it's a closer competition that the prices would suggest.

Enjoy - and if you do, leave a comment and tell me which watch you would want (or another option).

As someone with a 30 plus watch collection, If you really want a Rolex, You won’t be happy with a Tudor or a Sinn. I own Rolex and Tudor I wear the Tudors way more. I don’t think my current Rolex is better. Quality is good in many brands now. But I bought it as a milestone in my business path. This particular one was a replacement after some watches were stolen from a house burglary in 2019. Buy what you like - I love my Squale’s. Love my 1521. but if you really want a Rolex. Just buy one.

I love my SINN 104. Quality is absolutely stunning.

You are my favourite youtube Watch reviewer of all time. I could watch your videos the whole day because you are Human. Real. Technical. Knowledgable. And you respect your audience. Hats off for you!

As a newer watch collector, there is so much to learn. I really appreciate your in depth perspectives. I always walk away with something interesting to think about. Cheers!

Why do you only have 7.34 subs ... Your perspective, I'm my opinion, is most often so spot on ... Been referring you to people I know ... Keep the good content coming sir ...

Fully agree! Just recently sold my grey Omega PO in titanium in favour of a Tudor Pelagos FXD MN. Latter is much more comfy (slimmer), has better crown guards and after only three years the bezel of the Omega had some play (although only a mm up and down). The Tudor is half the price (400m less WR I don't need anyway and now white gold hands) but serves me much better as a sports watch ..

It has never been so easy to get genuinely good watches. And there never were as many good folks around talking about it. Cheers!

Great video! I found your talks very insightful, definitely stands out among the millions of YT watch channels.

Excellent video. Was heading towards buying a Rolex but couldn’t get one and the prices then went through the roof. Decided on a Tudor Chrono reverse panda. Have a number of other quality watches around the $2-3000 range that I really like for their quality, movement and look. Diminishing returns when it comes to spending five figures on a watch I think.

I agree with everything you say. It's the very reason why i own a wide spread of watches. I'm constantly amazed at what you can buy with as little as 1000 euros.

Usually I don’t comment yet videos. I make an exception on this as the content is great and worth commenting.
If you want a Rolex or a Tudor - go for it but also consider maintenance costs of the watch. The cost of servicing a Daytona is easily the purchase of the Sinn 104. Further on your Daytona will travel around the world and spend half a year in Switzerland … think about that before getting any watch with an in-house movement. A generic Sellita movement can be serviced at your trusted watchmaker for around 200 bucks and the watch shouldn’t stay out longer than two weeks for service.

I went back and forth between the Tudor BB36 and a Monta Noble. I went with a pre owned Noble and saved quite a bit of money but don't feel I compromised other than "brand." But I bought it to keep and it's very well made and finished.

Great video. I bought a Tudor Black Bay GMT not because it is the " baby brother" to the Rolex but because I actually like the look of the Tudor GMT better than todays Rolex GMT. The Tudor has a more old school classic look where as I think today's Rolex GMT looks blinged out. The newer model with the ceramic bezel (Pepsi) just looks wrong to me. Definity not a fan at the prices Rolex is asking for these days for a sports watch.
I think Sinn, Christopher Ward, I'd add Oris and a few others that offer great watches and while still not cheap far better buys in terms of quality vs value over some premium brands.

It's the same with automobiles. Now a days, most new cars are well made, comfortable, quiet, and have all the amenities that you could want.

[gynat]

I appreciate your thoughtful and well reasoned analysis. I find myself considering brands and models i would not have given a second look at previous to entertaining your opinions. Thank you for that.

[malikknows]

Nice video and perceptive points. I was surprised to see Sinn watches at a multi-brand store in Hong Kong.

[bikerdude]

Let's face it, nobody wears a Rolex because of quality. They buy a Rolex to make a statement and say hey look at me. That's a fact. A seiko turtle will do what any Rolex can do, but at the end of the day it's a seiko.

[Lawrence]

The looks of the Sinn is great. Pretty sure is a well made piece.

[johannoren]

Great video, thanks! Sinn and Tudor still feels quite well priced when compared with Rolex, and Omega to. I have the Ranger and I think its great Bang for the buck still, same with Grand Seiko, their Quartz are just amazing and the finish is outstanding for the price.

The Sinn uses a top grade Selita movement unlike other brands and it is regulated in=house so its very accurate and has been found to be within COSC tolerances
