Tudor Chrono Size vs GMT?

Hi All - any one own a Tudor chrono pre Tiger (non big block) and a GMT?

I am looking for the height and weight variance. (I have owned a 16710 and now a 16750 and 14060 and they all fit my wrist perfectly)

I think the Tudor chrono is approx 14mm high - need to determine if the Tudor chrono sit too high on my wrist.
Thanks
Russ

Height has never been an issue w/ me on any watch, so take that in consideration. The non Big Blocks might be 1mm less than the Big Blocks. I don't think they sit too high and doubt you'll notice too much difference. You'll be too busy admiring your new chrono.

I have pre Tiger chronos & a 16710, although the Tudors do sit slightly higher
the difference on the wrist is imperceivable, you'll be fine

I agree.

They have the same length lug to lug. The Tudor is 14 mm thick vs 12 mm on the 16710. The Tudor has a bezel diameter of 39.5 mm, whilst the GMT is 40 mm. The dial is larger on the Tudor (32 mm vs 30 mm), so the bezel is thinner.

The rounded case of the Tudor makes the watch sit very nice on the wrist compared to the sharper edges of the 16710.

I'd say that the difference in look is more important to take into consideration rather than the difference in size (or rather height).

Best,

A

I had a Tudor chrono and flipped it because it was too thick for my taste, I felt it sat up too tall. I also have a 16750 and find it quite comfortable.
