Tudor Heritage Chrono?

Before I was a contibuting member of this forum I had an aversion (albeit uneducated) to Tudor watches. Over the last couple years my mind has been changed both by the stunning designs of the watches and this communities wealth of knowledge regarding them.
I am now stricken by the Tudor bug and cannot get the Heritage Chrono out of my mind as my next purchase. The only decision left is gray or black dial. If someone could post pics, wristshots, bracelet, nato, zulu, anything...it would be greatly appreciated.

Brendan,
Here's my THC with added cyclops. It has exceeded my already high expectations. Love both dial options. The dial is multifaceted, very detailed, yet extremely easy to read. The bezel allows for a second time zone, so great for travel.

Here is my black dial on a leather strap.



On the bund cuff



After I added Cyclopes



Both dial colors are cool so tough choice.

Thanks, David! The black dial looks killer on a black strap.

And thanks for the cyclops inspiration.

I'm a big fan of the THC as well. Either dial looks great, good luck with your decision. Can't wait for the incoming wrist shots!

That is a very tough decision. However I think I would go with the gray dial. Love both!

Dan, can you tell me how big you are?

lol, seriously though. that watch looks fantastic on you and every time i see if, it makes me want one.

BUT, i feel like it would be too big for me. i am not a small guy at 5'10 and an athletic 180. but still concerned. what do you think? thanks

ps. i sold my 42 mm explorer, because it was just too big for my liking.

What the............?

I'm 6'4", 175 lbs with approximately 7 1/2" wrist, give or take. It sits really snug against the wrist because of the very flat case back. Not sure if that makes a difference or not compared to the 42mm Exp.
Here's another wrist shot while enjoying spring in Cleveland.

I'm 6' and have small writs at 6 3/4" and it fits me fine. I have several watches in the 40-42MM range and they look great it my opinion.

Here is the Heritage on a Nato...Dan no drulling.. which I have on today!

I believe you may have been the first one to post this watch and I never tired of seeing it, Dan.

Just ordered a THC myself, Grey dial. I said I'd treat myself to one of these a year ago but decided I wanted it for nothing !!!
So for the past year I've been buying & selling a few watches, making a few quid here & there, then today I sold a Black Bay & the THC fund is complete : )
Makes me feel a whole lot better knowing that I have worked hard to finally get my THC without the 710 moaning about taking money from the joint account.

What's the time keeping like on these ? I noticed that the couple of Black Bay's that have passed through my hands have been running a little fast, approx. 15 seconds per day, but then I've only had them for a few hours so they may settle down.

Anyway, can't wait for it to arrive, a good stable mate for my SubC I think

Mine has run +4 sec per day since I got it last year.
