Don't know what sales are like in the US, but over here in Asia, they've always been seen as the "poor man's Rolex" with numerous sub-models like the Subs, Prince (Oyster Perp Jr) with stepped and plain bezels, and the old Rander (Exp I Jr).
Murphy:
Your observations are correct. A lot of Tudor dealers in Singapore are also adopting the vibrant Art Noveau look of the new website, a clear delineation from the more stoic, prestigious Rolex site. Same goes for the models.
The new Prince models have a different bezel design to make them a little more "umph" and the Hydronauts now bear very little resemblance to the Subs. The Chronos are also farther departed from the Daytona look.
Looks like a step in the right direction.
