I suggest a separate forum for Tudor.
Tudor is an important brand, but not at the level of (a manufacture like) Rolex. Why both share the same forum? Probably some other members have suggested this, I don’t know…
I think this forum should be exclusive for Rolex. It’s like Omega and Breguet would share the same forum (probably not a good example).
Regards,
Well, I don't see Tudor as an inferior brand.
They had and have some excellent watches which have a happy paralell lfe with those of the " Big Sister ".
Therefore, the two brands are strongly linked.
I don't feel the need for an independant forum, for Tudor, but this is just my opinion.
Best,

I am not sure I agree at all....
Tudor comes from Rolex. Its heritage was intrinsically linked to Rolex. It is a younger brother relationship. Omega and Breguet are entirely different makes...totally different. Rolex and Tudor are extremely closely linked. It makes absolute sense to include Tudor and Rolex together.
Lets imagine this was a Porsche forum. Would you consider the 924 as a part of the forum for discussion? Like the Tudor, the 924 was at the lowest price range for its genre. Like the Tudor, the 924 used parts that were not from the manufacturer. The 924 used an Audi engine. The Tudor used the ETA. Yet the 924 was, intrinsically a Porsche. The Tudor is not a Rolex, but it is a very close relative....founded by the same man. OK, Tudor was founded in 1946, so many years after Rolex, but still the same heritage.
ps Nicolas....did you know why he called it Tudor? One argument I heard was to honour the Tudor period in English history....
Seems unnecessary to me...
I like reading about Rolex as well as Tudor when I come to the forum. Practically, I do not think there would be enough posters and readers to keep a separate Tudor forum lively. Same problem with a separate Jean Richard forum...
Tudor & Rolex Harmony...
I am new here, however, feel Rolex and Tudor should be kept under the Rolex umbrella on Puristspro. Just my thoughts! Cheers!
