I am contemplating buying this used. I love the simplicity of the dial. I am torn between the white and black dial, and this video helped, so thanks. in another video with different lighting, the numerals on the dial weren’t clearly visible against the black background. In the lighting you have, which seems more natural, the numbers are nicely visible. So having been tipped away from the black dial, I find myself once again attracted to it.
@@jaymsu9671 it’s there to keep the friction from keeping the two sections of metal from scratching each other over time from repeated use. A mark of in-house Rolex quality.
@@jaymsu9671 Do you still have the 1926? What do you think of it long-term? I think I start to get the model, why they did it, the 36mm silver dial on leather strap would feel like a vintage watch but with all the befefits of modern manufacturing.
A nice looking watch. Just my style and I really like the availability of four different sizes. I also like that it has an eta2824 movement rather than the in house movement. Cheaper to service and parts are easily available. I have also heard that the Tudor in house has problems with the clutches, even more so than some eta movements.
I just ordered the white dial with gold hands and indices but seeing your black model is making me doubt my decision. That thing looks gorgeous. Congrats
Great video, I love the 1926! It is a watch that I am considering buying myself either in 36 or 39mm. Is it a heavy watch? I prefer heavy watches on my wrist.
Me too. I've ordered a blue 41mm, it looks amazing. I nearly purchased the Pelagos but I wore it and the titanium made it too light and I didn't like how it felt
A very nice watch, which gets very little attention compared to other Tudor models...but why the hell they did a white date window on a black dialed watch.
Nope. Tudor is the only other brand owned by the Hans wildorf foundation, which also owns Rolex. They do not share parts with the swatch group, which owns Tissot.
The lungs have a slight taper. I keep this watch in my rotation. I enjoy the fact that I can wear something substantial in my job as a registered nurse and don’t worry about offending patients with a Rolex. I’m also not too concerned about desk diving marks and scratches against doors as it’s a reasonably priced item.
I think it wears medium-small for 39mm. I usually wear watches with very little bezel and a lot of dial, which wear the largest. The 1926 looks a lot better in real life than your video indicates. I didn't buy it because I don't like arabic-numeral indices. The bracelet doesn't taper either, which isn't sexy.
@@jaymsu9671 The dial is texture is awesome in person. And I love the bracelet's being a more youthful, revised Jubilee. I wish there were more color configurations, roman indices & a tapering bracelet!
I was pleased to learn that they are ceramic. I’ve been wearing it daily and my occupation can be relatively physical and the clasp hasn’t popped loose once.
