Tudor Heritage Wins
So, I'm in Europe on a business trip and I see that because of the dollar-Euro exchange rate, and the fact that I won't need to pay VAT, that I can get amazing deals on new watches. After visiting several high-end shops in Hamburg and Vienna, I ended up with the new Tudor Heritage, which was the most beautiful of many watches I tried on, including several Rolex models and the new Panerai PAM359. I know there's been discussion about the movement, but the fit and finish and overall aesthetic appeal of the Heritage is stunning. I've never owned a Tudor watch before and I had some pre-conceived notions, but I find the quality _ on the outside _ every bit the equal of my Rolexes, and better in a couple of areas. The way the Heritage case and bracelet fit on the wrist is actually more comfortable than my Sub because the caseback is completely flat. The Heritage's curves and lines, and height of the case, gives the watch a big wrist presence. It's also quite heavy, but in a good way. It feels very substantial, if that makes sense. The dial is straight out of the late '60s-early '70s, and if you like that old-school look, this is your watch. Highly recommended, especially if you can buy one in Europe and bring it back to the States. The savings are significant.
