Whenever I see a Tudor Black Bay on someone’s wrist, I know the wearer knows a thing or two about watches. On the other hand, anyone with enough money can wear a Submariner, even someone who is not interested in watches at all. But Tudor has a handle on the enthusiast. These people know exactly what they are buying: a high-quality stainless steel diver’s watch with a very capable movement at a compelling price. I know that no one buys a watch in a 100% rational way. But at the end of the day, you want to save some money on other replica watches, too, right? 
This brings me to the second reason why the Tudor Black Bay is the better choice, and that is simply because it is in stock. Admittedly, whenever a new Tudor watch is released, people line up to buy it. This can lead to a short waiting period in the first few months after the launch. But after a while, usually, the watches are readily available in stores to try and buy. However, this is certainly not the case when it comes to the Rolex Submariner.
You can only get a Submariner if an authorized dealer allows you to purchase it. And to get that permission in a reasonable amount of time, you either need to have a long history with that AD or be a superstar of some blockbuster. If you’re just a regular guy like you and me, forget it unless you’re prepared to wait years, probably in vain. And, while I think the exclusivity adds a certain charm, I prefer not having to play games just to spend money.
Also, when I decide to buy a copy watch, I like to have some options. There are only three stainless steel models in the Rolex Submariner line. There is one without a date, a black dial, and a black ceramic bezel, and then there are two options with a date, a black dial, and either a black or green ceramic bezel. I know Rolex is trying to maintain the status of an all-time classic icon here. Still, I wish there were some additional options.
First, Tudor chooses a 39mm or 41mm case size, while Rolex only offers a 41mm case. Then, as for color, Tudor lets you choose between black/black/gilt, black/red/gilt, and black/blue/silver for the 41 mm Black Bay. Then, the 39 mm Black Bay Fifty-Eight is also available in black/black/gilt and blue/blue/silver. Admittedly, there is no option to add a date to the stainless steel Black Bay, but who needs a date to clutter up that beautiful dial?
