Rant on Watch Trolls

[Sean Molina]

Too often, a watch troll crawls from underneath their parents basement, waddles to the keyboard, and fires a digital missile against Tudor.

"Tudor is the poor man's Rolex."

Only such words could ooze from a mouth breathing slob of a watch troll. See, the trolls forget that sharing their ignorance demonstrates their lack of experience. The trolls believe the Land Dweller was made for them. A watch Rolex made for those that live 300m below their parent's house.

The truth, though, is that those who own a Tudor, typically, also own a Rolex, and my Rolex aficionados know the value of a Tudor.

The watch trolls live like troglodytes at their first steak house. They drag their pointer finger across the menu until they trace the biggest number under the "price" column and then order.

"Fill Et Mig Non, please."

In true ne'er-do-well form, watch trolls exemplify the lowest level of class that can't even reach the bottom of my boots.

Beautiful watch, Keith.

There are the days in my week for a Rolex Deepsea, a Tudor Black Bay Bronze, and a Breitling Emergency. Too many beautiful watches available and too many different lifestyles to knock anyone else's favorites.

As sketchy as the Breitling sounds, I need an Emergency before I go on one of these Outrider hunts.

I don’t own a Tudor yet but will. I like a variety of watches. Anyone who can’t see past one brand or level is too boring for me lol.

I just purchased my first Swiss watch last week and it was the Tudor Black Bay Pro, it’s an amazing watch.

True words. The story behind the watch and how it is used will always trump the brand with me. I respect a beat to shit Seiko that has seen some things way more than a pristine Rolex that was acquired by blowing the authorized dealer.

Seiko is like Toyota, after you have had every luxury model you realize that it was the right choice all along.

Just got a Slim Turtle to scratch the diver itch till my name comes up on a list. And I actually love this thing!

Can't imagine what they say about my lowly, plebian, Citizens and Bulovas

I treat Tudor kind of like others treat Rolex. It’s my bucket list watch which I will probably acquire at or near retirement in about 20 years. Would love a Rolex but if i’m gonna dish out that money probably gonna use it for a kickass experience that i’ll be talking about till I die. Africa hunt would be where that money is directed. FE has me yearning for one of those.

I don’t understand the whole Tudor VS Rolex thing. If you took the brand name off the watch face, what would one dive watch do that the other doesn’t? I see watches like a hammer… do you use a sledgehammer to put a nail in the wall? Right tool for the mission… with that said.. You DO get what you pay for…. Don’t cheap out on a watch. But if you have 6 good watches, are you really buying anything other than a Brand? Unless it’s to mark some moment in your history, you could use that money to fund the next adventure my friend. When I buy a watch I think what or when I would use it, what functions I need and does the watch meet those mission requirements? Then price, etc etc etc… Don’t buy a watch just to buy the watch or it’ll be something else you throw in a drawer.
