Which one for an only watch..?
We've been down this road before but out of these two watches which would you choose to be an all arounder?

Tah heuer calibre 12 Monaco - McQueen blue (newest style)

Tudor black bay on vintage strap (not bracelet)


Lets see some opinions!

No contest.

The classic look of the Black Bay works in any environment.

The unusual square case and chronograph configuration of the Monaco are great for that vintage motorsports vibe, but less versatile in my opinion.

Neither. It has to be a non Tag with date function.

The McQ is an iconic watch, the BB is not, and its only 40mm so fine for everyday wear. Its also blue dialed and not black like every other watch ever made.

BB got my vote.

Reason: as an everyday watch I think it is more versatile. The Monaco, with the rectangular case, looks more dressier to me.

I have much love for BB but I have a soft spot for the Tag.

I think alot of us here on TRF enjoy watching you buy and flip watches. I think if you chose just one and stuck with it we would all be a little upset

Out of the two, I'd say go with the Tudor.
But the BB is a bit big for me...how about a Sub
