 I have a chance to pick up a second hand Tudor Hydronaut for about $1000 Canadian...  Seems like a good deal, but I don't know much about the watch.  Anyone have any experience with it?  Thanks!

 1000 CA is not to bad a price. Not a bad watch from what I have heard. ;)

Here is a review that may be helpful and informative for you.

 They appear to run, new, for $1500 - $1800 USD on the bay, so $1000 CA for a gently used one would be a great deal imho...

 The Tudor Hydronaut is a great watch and as Steve pointed out run in the $1500.usd range....but is the one you are looking at a midsize 35mm or full at 40mm?....big difference if you are not into small watcheswatch2.gifThe Tudor Hydronaut is similar to the Eterna Super-Kontiki but has the Rolex blood line if it is a 35mm version I would personally pass knowing I would never wear it but at 40mm I would be all over ithand6.gif....my 2cents

Thanks Oscar - it is the 40mm... I was REALLY tempted to buy it yesterday!  But, I didn't for one major reason - it looks a heck of a lot like my Submariner.  I guess I'm having justifying a watch purchase that is so similar to one I already have ...  I dunno ... Still hesitating..

 If you call it a Submariner or a Hydronaut the name means the same thing as far as i can tell. Rolex probably did not want to call it a Tudor Submariner ( to avoid confusion )hence the synonym.

 I picked one up here a while back for $750 USD. I just picked up a ladies version for the wife for $550 USD. The price you were quoted is still a fair price though. I got lucky on that find. I normally pay more than fair value it seems.
