Hans Wilsdorf established Rolex in 1905. When he founded Tudor just over 40 years later in 1946, fans immediately put the two brands in competition. Rolex always seemed to trump Tudor in the eyes of the watch world.

In more recent years, Tudor has started to receive the recognition it has long deserved. Still, watch lovers, can’t help but continue to measure the brands head to head. 

In this post, we will show some of the Tudor models similar to their Rolex counterparts.
