Here's another thought; if you are interested in a Tudor chrono, and the big block seems too large to wear comfortably, consider a small block chrono (79270 is my favorite). Same 7750 movement, but much easier to wear. All that being said, the blue sub is a great looking watch.

here's my big block panda to see if it helps your decision. I find it very comfortable.

Love it when a super-old thread comes back to life!

Big Block for me, although you need good eyesight to read that busy dial.

I actually enjoy the rotor spin. I find myself flicking my wrist to feel it.
