Tudor SUPERB !!

Tudor makes great watches for the price point. Just wish they would work on their other models in the lineup instead of investing a majority of their resources on the Black Bay. Imagine the reverberation throughout the watch world if they made a heritage Ranger/ North Flag with dual time function. That being said, I have held the BB S&G chrono and it is handsome watch! Especially on the regular leather strap with deployant.

InB4 captain obvious comes in stating Tudor isn’t Rolex

Awesome in theory. Awesome in the hand. Enormous on the wrist (at least for folks at 6.75 and below). Wish they’d commit to BB58 case variants.

Too thick. Wish there were a decent sporty SS chronograph on the market that is mechanical and around same thickness of daytona.

This. If it were thin and actually wearable, it would be a home run. Love the concept, but sadly couldn't get behind the execution when I tried it on.

I like snowflake hands, but I still don't like how the snowflake hour hand blocks out the sub dials for certain hours in the day.

I tried this on the other day at a Tudor event my AD invited me to. It is a real stunner, for me the watch on the leather / bund strap was the one I liked most

Agree. My AD had one on steel and for this particular watch the TT bracelet just doesn't work as well as a solid strap for some reason. Looks amazing on leather with or without the bund (I prefer without). The price is what kept me away from it. Wound up picking up a used Moonwatch for half the cost of this, but the Tudor is a gorgeous watch for sure

Love it on the strap, not a fan of the bracelet. I might be the only one, but IMHO chronos on straps just go together beautifully.

Not to mention the dial is stunning, very similar to the PN dial on the 116528.

They’re unscrewed in the image. Screwed down they resemble the old Rolex/Tudor chronos of days gone by.
