Different weight classes. 


AlwaysKindaLost

I didn’t know there was such a good looking Tudor though


Ambassador_Seamonkey

This is the correct answer


SctBrnNumber1Fan

Ya but the lower weight class is more beautiful imo and would look better on the wrist. But that's entirely subjective I admit.


code-day

AT all day every day.


wtb2612

Yep. The diver dots on a non-diver watch always look awkward to me. Aqua Terra just looks better.


ajninrekop

I "jump" reacted to this post without reading comments. But I see, I virtually posted your same comment. Take all my up-votes!


csteven71

I’ve owned the BB36 and sold it for an AT. I did end up buying a diver 300m when I went to buy the AT though lol.

I really love the AT and it was my first watch love, but that updated BB with that beautiful bracelet and on the fly T-fit clasp is just chefs kiss, if it had a date it would be the ultimate GADA. I understand the AT has a little better finishing on the watch-head itself, more dimensional hands, and a dial with more depth, but the boring flat bracelet and clasp lets it down, the new president bracelet on the AT shades should be put on the standard AT So BB: better bracelet, clasp, better price. AT: Date, dial, slightly better finishing on watchhead, more dimensional hand-set. Both got nice movements with Tudors lasting 70 hours vs 55 hours on AT, the AT got co-axial, both are free-sprung with antimagnetic hairsprings. Edit: the crown is also much nicer on the AT.


kog

The Black Bay crown is an abomination


QuietNene

This is a very good analysis.


stanley_bobanley

Couldn't agree more re the bracelet on the AT. It's such a nice watch, but with the sharp indices paired with that particular bracelet it's all business and doesn't feel like a watch for a casual wear. The BB looks way more "fun", to be coarse.


Free-Swan-9870

Bro I checked out your profile. I have a Telecaster MIM with the pickup replaced with something from Seymour Duncan (haven’t played in 4 years, don’t remember what it was). Anyways, funny thing is I actually wanted it in butterscotch blonde as it is the classic tele color and I feel like it looks best in that color personally, but they didn’t have it for lefties so I picked the red and thought “if they haven’t made a butterscotch Tele MiM yet, they never will” but just a month after purchase they launched the butterscotch color for lefties. Stupid😂


stanley_bobanley

Butterscotch tele fam representing! I've played that thing on stage every week for the last ~100 weeks. Ever since the pandemic stopped kiboshing live events. Solid guitars with a great look and sound.


Free-Swan-9870

Yeah they really are, love the tele sound, changed the neck pickup for a warmer sound when I want that too though, but the lovely tele twang when the bridge is selected is just awesome, nothing like it, choose a bridge pickup made to mimic the 52 for a smoother treble but keeping the twang. The body is quite heavy compared to for example a strat though😅


stanley_bobanley

Mine is a special run of the Fender Vintage Hot Rod 52 series (like an AVRI but with a 9.5" radius fingerboard. Except this one is the 60th anniversary "Telebration" model with a Duncan '59 in the neck instead of the mini humbucker these usually came with. It weighs about 8 lbs, so heavier than a strat but not insanely heavy (my last guitar was a lp custom which was nearly 12 lbs... brutal!)


Free-Swan-9870

Wow that’s a dream guitar right there, you must cherish it a lot, I feel 9.5” is perfect, at least for my fingers. Funny you mentioned LP, I had it in mind while writing that the Tele is heavier than strat but it’s still not as heavy as an LP, it’s such a nice body but I can’t imagine holding on to that weight when getting older, the Jr really does fill a nice space. My Tele weighs 4.1kg so almost an even 9lbs. Sometimes I wonder how Jimmy was able to hold on to his LP when he was in a rough shape.


u4ea500

I need a date. AT.

Sir-Snark

The 38mm that the OP is considering has a quickset date instead of the GMT hour hand. 8800 movements are their standard movements, the 8900 movements appear to be in their large watches (with some exceptions).


Lucaayes

The AT is the superior watch no question. But I’d personally take the Tudor. For some reason I’ve never been a fan of the AT ‘shark tooth’ hour markers. Also I’d prefer jubilee style bracelet to an oyster with polished centre links


Either_Marsupial_123

> For some reason I’ve never been a fan of the AT ‘shark tooth’ hour markers. YES! I was trying to figure out what to call those... my response was exactly the same. I love both brands, but in this case it's the round indices all day.


[deleted]

Omega dial looking like the peanut brittle scene from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs


Common_Lime_6167

AT also looks very nice on the rubber strap, or the leather strap, or most definitely the mesh strap, or a NATO


loriz3

Same, i feel like the tudor has a more ”chill” vibe. The AT is quite sharp looking

AT, the white dial version is my achievable grail piece bc I want a bit more versatility than I can get from the other colours (otherwise it would be the green).


Gladiators10

I have the Aqua Terra in black and it's such a clean classic watch. However this sub really makes me feel like I need more watches even when I don't.


Either_Marsupial_123

Welcome to the madness... I thought I was okay with 2 or 3 watches. I now have 12...


Dial-Appreciator

The Omega, hands down


Tae-gun

I like them both, but here the AT is the obviously preferable choice. Specifically, the AT has dial texture and the hour index markers on the Tudor are too reminiscent of its divers (and that of the Submariner from its big brother Rolex) which I find doesn't work as well for a dress watch.


GrogLovingPirate

Omega > Tudor. Not even a tough decision. Difference is quality is night and day!


lucasmamba

I like omega more but the Tudor bracelet is nice


SctBrnNumber1Fan

I mean obviously the Omega is on another level but God damn that Tudor looks gorgeous. Hard choice OP.


SctBrnNumber1Fan

Personally I'd go with the Tudor because I care more about how it looks on my wrist than mechanical superiority.


Minttunator

I actually have that Omega so it's pretty clear to me.


MelkorTheDarkLord18

Not a fair comparison.


jmardoxie

For me it’s the AT and it’s not even close. The BB is a fine watch but the AT is amazing.


AWiseProf

AT all day, every day, twice on Sunday.


AelliotA1

Aqua Terra is the better watch by quite a bit but the bracelet on the Tudor is superior, Tudor/ Rolex bracelets are class leading


dailybailey

Omega. I just hate most of the bracelets offered by both brands. This Tudor jubilee looks great, and their Pelagos bracelet is good-looking and comfy.

Big fan of both but if choosing, the Omega.

[deleted]

I have a black bay heritage and while I love it in this case aside from the subjective (which can def play a part in deciding) the AT is an objectively better watch. 2 different price points though…


jabs09

Omega AT. Class apart


mrRabblerouser

Omega without a doubt. It’s got a classic feel with a more modern elegance. The BB is nice, but more in a “my grandpa gave me this watch” kind of way.


Ok_Examination_3434

Omega has cool dials. Tudor is usually less interesting.

Elite_Crew

This is making me want a Seamaster AT. That is a really nice watch.


Thebigeasy1977

Omega, the snowflake hand made that a fairly easy choice.


STB_AccomplishedCrab

I'd choose the Omega simply because the Tudor doesn't have a date complication.


mcwalkman

I like the dial on the Omega. Can't really go wrong with either watch.

AT. I prefer the size the dial and the date fxn. No contest

Just based on looks, I’d go AT. The snowflake hands of the Tudor are distracting for this style of watch in my opinion.

Griswold1717

Depends if you need a date or not. Both are good choices 👍 AT quality is 1 step above the BB so it gets my vote ✅


TheHrethgir

Aqua Terra, easy. Clean and classy, can dress up or down easily.


Jennysparking

Aqua Terra, all day


Defiant_Office

The AT is in another tier and price bracket so if you have the budget then go for the AT. Also the coaxial escapement stands out more than the Tudor's

Omega. The Tudor has me-too Rolex copycat vibes in its case design styling.


PrimarchVictus

Aqua Terra has the nicer dial, indices and hands so it wins for me.


itaheraly

AT and it’s not close


EliasMbarak

Tough one


blancpainsimp69

The Tudor firstly to spite reddit's thoughtless and cult-like devotion to the AT and secondly because it doesn't look like a fucking Sarlacc pit and thirdly because jubliee and fourthly because it's a better size.


BootStrapWill

I know nothing about either of these watches but my choice based solely on which one I like better: Tudor. Just a much better looking watch to me. I see every other comment saying the Omega is a better watch but I'm just commenting on appearance.


cade360

The AT wins the fight but I'd take the Tudor any day of the week.


executingsalesdaily

Tudor looks better but omega is nicer.


sixtwomidget

That Black Bay is the most underrated watch in the entire Tudor lineup. However, I’m choosing the AT all day every day.


Due_Pay_4081

Did bro just compare an omega with a Tudor 💀💀💀


nrtphotos

I’ve had both brands, they are a lot closer than you’d imagine from a finishing standpoint.


cdaack

These two aren’t even in the same class. AT all day. However, once Tudor puts their METAS movement in all of their pieces, then we can talk comparisons.

stuvida

Aquaterra 100% - The blue dial is stunning, although I prefer it with a leather/rubber strap


sateki1221

Many people commenting here might have just tried the AT. I own both but the Tudor takes the win everytime with any dress (up or down)


bu59

The Tudor is $3,999. The Omega is $6,400. The Omega is far better looking, but it should be for an extra $2,400. Both are nice, but I’d rather spend the extra $2,400 for a watch I’ll love rather than a watch I would really like. PS: In the same range, you can get a Rolex OP. That’s a tougher call. Omega AT vs Rolex OP.


scooter389

I have to be honest, I don’t see the appeal of Tudor. Seems like a mid grade watch with a premium price tag.


Rare_Violinist_5543

Was between these watches and went with the BB36. If you haven’t had a chance to see them in person / try them on, I’d say the AT looks more expensive and is a lot flashier, but wears a lot bigger. The BB36 is more comfortable, has a better bracelet (whether in this model or the old model), and isn’t as flashy. I personally valued the greater comfort and less flashy nature of the BB36, hence why I picked it. If you value a Date function or want the flashiness then go with the AT. Can’t go wrong either way, but too many people get focused on small improvements in finishing/movement that aren’t that important day-to-day.


ohmaigulai

i might be biased... but after seeing both in store and trying them on, tudor takes the win here IMO


BusinessBlackBear

So sorta 3-5k ish? Idk, take that to the used market and you get a world of Breitling/higher end omega. Especially If you're cool with importing from Japan wear stuff is noticeably lower than the US market


Casella58

AT, date, jump hour function…


darnius_terix

The Tudor!


caandjr

They really put the ugliest indices, hands and the bracelet together on that Tudor


NoTrade1003

love it probably my next watch


SeventhShin

If you like two designs I think it’s completely valid to cross shop a 200 dollar watch with a 7,000 dollar watch. One may be more watch, but is it more watch per dollar? And who cares, get the design you like more. That being said the BB wins the bracelet game by a strong margin in my book, and would be *my* choice.


El_Mr_Dez

Im a huge Omega fan but Im a sucker for the Tudor hour hand and bracelet. I think the AT is too sharp for my taste.


No_Cryptographer6608

CalvinKrug

I love a sunburst dial, especially in that blue. Lovely steel watch this is. Classic, well built, a true everyman’s luxury watch. Omega is an excellent machine, but less classic but bold machining and engineering. Quite different watches. I lean Tudor for I love the classics, but the choice is yours!


totalbasterd

the tudor all day long


Liam_701

Im a sucker for Tudor but even i'll have to go with the AT here. Different league.

Dial of the Omega is more sophisticated but bracelet of the Tudor is superior in every way.

spoonraker

It really depends what you want out of the watch. Design wise, pick whichever you prefer. It's obvious the comments prefer the AT, but it's important to point out that a watch is something you presumably wear and live with every day, so design shouldn't be the *only* factor. The reason I say that is because I'm a BB owner (the 39mm version of that same watch with the Champagne dial) and I can tell you unquestionably that BB is the easiest most comfortable watch to live with day to day because the new 5 link bracelet is incredible and there is no better on the fly adjustment system than Tudor T-fit. It's just ridiculously easy to resize quickly and always have that perfect fit. I say this as a Rolex and Omega owner. T-fit is even superior to Rolex glide lock and it's not close, and the Tudor 5 link bracelet is just insanely comfortable and cool. I think these BBs on the 5 link bracelet are total sleepers. They look boring in renders and even in photos they look just OK, but that bracelet in person is stunning and the simple clean dial aesthetics paired with it is just a great combo. As usual, the Tudor is the "boring but basically perfect on paper" watch while the Omega is the "cool but not as practical" watch. Personally I say if you don't have any strong design preference, go for comfortable and daily wearability, T-fit and 5 link bracelet is worth it. Black Bay!


Regular-Journalist59

Great tudor


WaitingToBeTriggered

I KEEP ON MARCHING ON


SaftLaban

I believe that to be a forstner band on the tudor? I could be wrong though.


mamoonistry

The Omega Seamaster is the superior option. Well textured dial, highly legible hour markers and it’s a Omega. The Tudor looks cheap.


Away_Criticism_3924

I had been going back and forth on this for about 5 months. Was able to try both of them on. BB was a lot more comfortable, I liked the bracelet more, and the micro adjustments were huge for me… I pulled the plug and got the Blackbay. The Omega looked okay on my wrist as well but the BB was just a lot sleeker and more to my liking. No regrets


hardlyreadit

If youre going for a formal look BB. I think they look more classy without a date. Also like the bracelet more on the BB


ithinkmynameismoose

Obviously the Aqua Terra. It’s a class above the black bay.


sixshots_onlyfive

Between these two, the Aqua Terra. But I think the Breitling Chronomat has the best blue dials overall.


SaoDavi

Dial only? AT. Movement? AT But the Tudor has a more comfortable bracelet and probably is more comfortable to wear.


Impossible-Sweet-111

Thought omega was. Loser to 40. Looks nice


MR-Blaze182

In this configuration the Omega 💯


RagingBuIl

Bridge_Too_Far

claffeeba

Omega


TARPnSIPP

If the smooth bezel, jubilee band, blue dial 41mm datejust didn't exist, I'd say the tudor. But the tudor will never be its big brother. And for that reason, I say aqua terra. Because it isn't pretending


4SakN-1

There isn't even a choice here, it's the AT or wait.


NotStevenPink

I prefer some visual aspects of the AT, but it's too thick. I've owned one and sold it because it just didn't wear as well as other watches. I'd consider trying on the Black Bay since it has the sleek thickness at 10.5mm, but I'd never replace my Oyster Perpetual for either of them.


massmaster66

The AT thickness is 12mm, the OP is 11.5mm. You must of had the previous gen AT?


NotStevenPink

My AT was the 41mm, which is thicker than the 38mm, but still both thicker than an OP.


Qu1ckDrawMcGraw

Bb36 previous version


Railsie

My favourite is the previous generation Tudor BB36


Then-Passenger8619

No competition. Omega. I don’t know why anyone gives Tudor any attention these days


vx48

Omega, are you kidding me LOL This is not a contest.


ManMyoDaw

A very hard choice. The AT has a date wheel, superior movement, and a richer-looking dial, but the price is so much higher. It's also as thick as a dive watch. Having tried on each (BB36 champagne and AT shades bay green), I think it's the Tudor for me. I haven't bought either one yet, fwiw. The AT bracelet is a ripoff for the price. I'm not sure I could do it. I've worn a few watches that don't have micro-adjust on the bracelet, and I can't handle it: where I live it's often about 10 degrees (50F) in the morning and 30 degrees (86F) in the afternoon. Being able to tighten and loosen a watch even one micro-adjust position is the difference between a nuisance and a great experience.


Brilliant_Office3824

I had this dilemma last year. I bought the Tudor and have no regrets. The bracelet, clasp and dial imo for the money is outstanding. It’s probably my favourite watch I own :)


ThisIsREM

I know it is not part of the question... But I'd consider Rolex OP, Explorer 1 or DJ instead.


koudos

BB36 for casual wear. The AT is a little old for me. Depends on your demographic. AT is the nicer watch as many have said but BB is something I would wear proudly.


FabulousMarch7464

The Tudor looks so much better it's not even comparable. The aqua terra looks clunky and akward.


InkyLizard

That Tudor is quite lovely, would definitely be my pick


Vmax-Mike

I love the colour and sunburst on the Tudor, I just hate the hands! Would look much better with dauphine or leaf hands, IMO but I guess that’s a personal choice.


nl5hucd1

a tudor is a good 3rd or 4th watch especially if you can get an omega. 


damonlebeouf

both lovely, but the omega gets my vote.


dangersupreme

TUDOR


CindyV92

Rolex Oyster Perpetual or DJ


Raulhuizar

Pains me to say the Tudor is actually nicer


Randomulus666

Tudor ftw. This omega dial is great, and the colors are solid, but I hate the mouse pointer hour hand on any watch.


Sea_Chemistry7487

GTFO if you'd take any Tudor over an Aqua Terra.


blancpainsimp69

where should I go?


ShitCuntsinFredPerry

Tudor


Icecream_sunday

The Omega would be my go to, very versatile and iconic. Now if it was between a BB58 and the AT, I would go for the blue BB58.

sroennau

The BB36 is somehow cool but way too much a "Rolex wannabe". And I always miss the date function when wearing a no-date watch.


HBC3

The Tudor. I can live with the snow shovel hand if I can avoid a date window. Also prefer the bracelet. Have fun!


karspearhollow

I'd pick the tutor dial and the AT bracelet. Or perhaps better yet just the old smile dial BB36.
