Tudor's History: Tudor is owned and run by Rolex, and was created by Rolex founder, Hans Wilsdorf, back in 1926. Noted as the younger sibling of Rolex, the brand was created for the sole purpose of capturing more customers who are interested in Rolex without having to pay Rolex prices. Tudor watches, for the vast majority of the 20th century, utilised the same cases, bracelets, dials and designs as Rolex to save costs, time and create a parallel between the two brands. Thanks to cheaper, third-party movements from the likes of ETA, the overall cost of these watches were able to be more affordable than Rolex. ​ Asking $1400
