I like left [I'm a sucker for those silver dials] and right best, middle coming in a close third. But would be proud to own and wear any of them.

I love the far left one....to me it has the best contrast with the subdials and rotating black bezel. Plus you have to like the gun metal grey hands that just set it off!

To me these Tudor Chrono's with the rotating bezels are the best combo. Its like a Submariner and Daytona combined, with the cyclops, bezel and lug holes of the sub, as well as the style, pushers and chrono of the Daytona.

Fantastic trio!!!

Mine is no BIG Block and its a Tiger, but I love it all the same!!

I have always been partial to the "reverse Panda", black with white sub-dials. I almost bought one recently, but was given a deal for a Daytona that I couldn't in good conscience pass up. Thank you for showing a beautiful collection. You must be pleased at how values have steadily increased now for over a decade.

Far right then middle for me. The far left one looks great but it's a little too common
