Oris or Tudor?

Hey all! I’ve been a lurker, now turning to the community for some input. I have two pieces in my collection that I enjoy (Hamilton jazzmaster + Tag Aqua). They are both on stainless.

I’m looking to add another as a birthday present for myself in a month or two. My budget will be right around the $2500 mark. Willing to hear some options if there are recommendations outside of the two brands mentioned.

However, the next addition will either be an Oris (like that their vertically integrated) or a Tudor (makes me feel like there is value behind the craft under the Rolex brand).

I wouldn’t mind something on rubber/silicone but also love stainless all the same.

Typically only go for 41mm +, can be persuaded into 39mm.

Any options, feedback, suggestions is very much welcome!

Thanks to all you merchants of time in advance.

    Oris makes some chonkers, if you went with them I’d definitely go with their in house 400 calibre movement and the 10 year warranty they back it with, and would stick to 41.5 mm max.
    Tudor is fine, it’s not gonna knock anyone’s socks off. If you were gonna stretch the budget there I’d save up for the 41mm panda chrono. Mine was $3500 and that’s very cheap. But you can get an Aquis with a solid gold bezel and their in house movement for well under $3k.
