New Watch! Love this chrono dial!

Absolutely love the now discontinued Tudor. I think it’s a future classic that will appreciate. Looks spectacular and feels about the same size as my Explorer II. Planning to put it on a nice leather strap as the only thing I’m not a fan of about the watch is the riveted bracelet.

How thick? New chrono is pretty darn thick.

It’s 14.9mm thick to center of the glass but the bezel and glass are smooth and tapered so it really does not feel as thick as the measurement would insinuate. I’m a taller guy with slightly larger wrists than average and it fits perfectly. The proportions are perfect.

Nice watch and a strap magnet for sure. But I still like the rivet as part of the list of options.

Congrats, it's a nice one!

Not sure about appreciating though (beyond inflation/possible rising prices of watches over time I mean). Still a great watch!

How wide is the bracelet? I just realize there's no taper at all on it.

It’s 22mm and there is a taper of at least 2mm
