No. They should be embarrassed because the knock off's crown is less stupid looking.

Must be the same catalog case that Hager is using.
Honestly it is par for the course. Tudor is popular so instead of just Rolex ripoffs now there are Tudor ones. Doesn't bother me. Companies can make they want and I don't have to buy it.

Both companies should be ashamed. Those are terrible.

Re: Tudor should be flattered?
Why? Because it's a shitty rendition of someone's design.

Re: Tudor should be flattered?
Tudor has utilized the BB design to death with iteration after iteration. The bronze is the worst of the bunch...taking a successful seller and trying to cash in on the fading fade of bronze watches. It's an uninspired mess.tattoo chef wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2017 5:30 amWhy should they be ashamed? No different than many others. It is what it is.

As for the homage discussion, we've beat it to death and no amount of argument/debate is going to change it. Why bother

Re: Tudor should be flattered?
I just said the watches were turds. Should we only discuss watches we like and not express an opinion on things we don't like? You're the one that poked me into explaining why I think they both suck.tattoo chef wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2017 7:13 amI'm not saying I like it but it is what it is.

Re: Tudor should be flattered?
For what it's worth, I think the Heroic looks better than the Tudor minus their terrible logo.

Re: Tudor should be flattered?
The Tudor is the perfect microcosm of what's wrong with the watch industry. It's bigger than it should be. It's made out of a faddish material. The crown is pointlessly stupid.streetracer101 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2017 7:31 amFor what it's worth, I think the Heroic looks better than the Tudor minus their terrible logo.

I've seen this one in person and I thought it was nice looking. At 40mm with a normal crown in SS, I might have thought about buying it for a second before dismissing the idea.

Re: Tudor should be flattered?
I agree. They botched the 41mm model too with the dumb crown design. I appreciate that although Rolex doesn't do anything ground breaking often, they also aren't continually chasing fads like Omega.

Re: Tudor should be flattered?
Both Tudor and Omega are frustratingly close too. It still blows my mind that Tudor doesn't sell a watch based on the Rolex 16610 mid case.streetracer101 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2017 8:13 amI agree.

Tudor has to go back and before anything new they have to fix that blue

I hate to say it and I am a fan of Tudor, but I think I may prefer the Heroic homage besides the prominent logo.
