Tudor Heritage Advisor
Hey Gang,
Just wondering if anyone could tell me anything about the Tudor Heritage advisor. Just read a very short blurb on it and saw the pic. Beautiful watch. Any input for you guys would be appreciated. Thoughts, reviews. pricing? Thanks. The white dial was so cool and clean looking. Tom |

I would prefer it if it wasn't so big

I've seen the versions with the white dial, still waiting to find one of the new black ones. What I found surprising was that while it is a little larger, but I think it wears nicely. It's light too, thanks to the titanium body. It doesn't look like it, they did a nice job with the polish, it almost looks like steel.
The crowns are pretty easy to use. Nothing too out of the ordinary. At 2, you have the winding crown for the alarms mainspring, and the setting mechanism. At 4, there's the main crown for the movement, while at 8, there's the pusher that turns the alarm on and off. The alarm, honestly might be a bit of a novelty. It's definitely useful, but I can't see myself adjusting it and resetting it for different events during the course of the day. I don't really use it on my Aerospace, I probably wouldn't use it on the Advisor. I can't remember the pricing exactly. Either $4150 or $4450 is stickin' out in my head. |

Just saw one in New York City and fell in luuuv with it! Size was just right for me (7" wrist), lots of presence. The pointer date subdial was also easy to read which is usually a problem with these subdials.

Right on guys thanks. The watch looks incredible to me. Simply stunning! I heard they are not easy to source in the states even now with Tudor here.

This is one of my favorite Tudors. It's an absolutely stunning piece and one day I will add one to my small... but growing collection. I also find the alarm very useful and would frequent it often when traveling.

Nice timepiece, I much prefer the vintage advisor... I believe retail is over $6kUSD.

Nice homage piece. I don't mind the size but IMO it is overpriced. Especially in comparison to the rest of their line up.

I like this watch a lot from the pics I've seen. But I'll echo some sentiments above that perhaps it is too big (40mm would have been perfect) and pushing the price.

I like the black dial version of this new Heritage Advisor.
However, for that price I think I would prefer a Pelagos and have some substantial $$ left over.
