[IWC or Tudor] Mark XX or Black Bay 58? (alien.top)

Am debating between a great condition pre-owned blue IWC Mark XX with steel bracelet vs. new navy Tudor Black Bay 58.

The former would be at a price comparable to the latter.

Would love to get this forum's thoughts on either via any vector (opinion on looks, feel, store of value, quality, etc). Very torn so wanted to stir the pot a bit.

I'd get a pre owned Tudor BB. No need to get that watch new.

I have the BB58 the and am borrowing the mark XVIII on leather from my dad. I’m a relative novice, but I would rate the quality about equal. I find the the Tudor in black and gilt more interesting, so I wear it a lot more. I don’t think you could wrong with either.

I have both watches so I’ll chime in. The BB58 is a great watch but the Mark XX is a step above and can cover any situation. They are a truly a GADA watch.

I personally think IWC charges way too much for their watches.
