2 Tudors squared equal 1 Rolex.

CJ, I was thinking that the Chrono hands would make the other watch look even so much more vintage . . .

Unsure. It couldn’t hurt but I think as a diver the lolli hands fit more period and function correct.

I would actually buy Tudor if it weren’t for the square (snowflake - square snowflakes?) hands. I like their movements, cases, and bracelets. Clasps not so much, but those hands put me over the edge.

Tudor is a strong brand for people who don’t mind that look.

I've got history with the snowflake handset having previously owned a vintage blue 9411/0. These were a cool variant to the standard mercedes handset typically used. So it might be easier for me to accept Tudor using it now as branding identification.

I will agree the new chrono should have come with the same handset found on the Heritage chronograph. That and silver sub dials would have been a home run.

Dan - you have some amazing Tudors, and I love your passion for the brand. No disrespect meant by my original post or follow up. Tudor is a great (probably best) value for money, especially with their in house (and excellent tech) movements.
