those Tudor (unlike the newer ones) did actually have the Rolex oyster case, bracelet, crystal etc. Essentially, they were Rolex but with a generic non-regulated ETA, hence why they got the "Poor man Rolex" name. Funny how because of this the brand actually went out of market and then returned with a whole new line. Now old Tudor like yours are well sought after and their prices have skyrocketed.There is something very classy about the Tudor Subs
I think that thus is when Rolex peaked, from an aesthetic point of view. Very similar (identical?) case to my Sub..

So you got a watch that looked like a Rolex, but wasn't a Rolex, but was nevertheless a very good and well-engineered watch.
Indeed, so long as its a good homage. I would never buy a 'fake' (illegal counterfeit with the actual brand name) but the Steeldives are actually good quality Seiko movements in well made cases with decent WR and sapphire crystal. They just, er, "were inspired by" someone else's design efforts, which is morally vaguely suspect but imitation being the sincerest form of flattery and it's not like they're being sold as Rolexes.
Chill out mate. It's a very nice watch, which is reinstated by all of these quotes from this thread:
