  • I take a look at the history of the Tudor watch brand, as well as give you my recommendations of Tudors best watches. The Tudor brand has some cracking good watches but there are a few that are absolutely bollocks that only Hublot would be proud of.

    When I worked for Goldsmiths there was an old guy there who was 1 of the Rolex team. He wore a Tudor 79260 I asked him why not a Rolex he said “everybody knows Rolex, people who know Rolex know Tudor” and so began my fascination into watches and understanding the difference between customers and enthusiasts.

      @@Alias_Anybody Point I was making is this, if you ever want to piss off a Rolex owner. Tell them they got their watch from a charity. However, technically I do believe Rolex is registered as a Non Profit to avoid paying larger sums of Taxes; the foundation being Privately held prevents auditors from regulating them to a severe extent. The nature of being a Swiss Business, much like Swiss Bank - Privacy of the utmost levels. Who knows what they do, apart from sponsoring Sports events.

      You can do even more crazy stuff in Switzerland. You can build a Club, for instance a sportsclub or self-development club and this Club will not have to pay taxes at all. For instance FIFA is one of them. However, in Switzerland you pay income Tax. Your company is usually taxed very, very low = but when you get your paycheck.... Ok, to be honest, it’s still very low. Usually between 8% to around 35% of your income. However, if you would pay more then 1 Million in Taxes annually in Person you can always negotiate with the tax office about other forms of payment.

    The Black Bay 58 was my first real introduction to the watch world.... Today. I commemorated a trip with my son to Paris and picked up the Blue 58, which I have wanted since 2021. I would love to have a date, but I'm also just so glad to have finally pulled the trigger on something I can hand down to my son. I'm a huge fan of Nico and have been researching and waiting for years to get my first watch and today was the day. I made $4k on Monday from a trade that had I not executed would have been gone. I was already looking at Tudor ADs here in Paris when Monday I woke up to a massive jump in stock price and I said, I'm taking profit. The amount I cleared was just enough to buy the watch and pocket another $1k. Very nice, I shared this moment with my son, he learned a bit about investing and not that this watch is an investment because it is not, but I definitely think it will hold its sentimental value and I hope to give it to him when he turns 18. And he loves it.
