Tudor Heritage Chrono size comparison

Calling out all Heritage Chrono owners who also own a current GMT or Sub

Could you post a few shots of your Tudor next to a Sub-C or a GMTIIc for size comparison?

Tried on a Heritage Chrono a few weeks ago at an airport and it seemed okay for my small wrist. However, I was in a hurry and didn't have sufficient time to have a good look.

Thanks!

Thanks Sam! Was actually thinking of sending you a PM, but then you magically appeared

How are you liking yours btw? I am looking for a sturdy everyday Chrono companion to my AP ROC and thinking of getting the heritage. I think it's a cool homage with a nice contemporary touch.

Chris,
Sorry, no comparison pics but Sam will take care of you.
Love my THC. The dial is highly detailed yet extremely easy to read. The rotating bezel and chrono feature make this a do all watch. The super solid construction makes it a rugged package.

Good thing you didn't my PM box is full as usual To be honest Chris my THC does not get the wrist time it deserves, however, it's a fun piece to own! It is very sturdy and well built! I it! Here is one pic to tie you over!



Edit: Mr. Pierce already beat me to the punch! I still when I see DP's pics! Ahhhhhh Damn! Beautiful!

Thanks Dan!

From the short time I had it on my wrist I also got the feeling of solidness, which I really like.

Thanks Sam! Your "amateurish" shots are much appreciated! We can't all point and shoot flawlessly like Mr. Pierce you know

Confirms my own assessment when I tried it on. Bigger diameter than the GMTc/SUBc, but about the same case length. It hugged my wrist quite well and I guess that's due to the non-protruding case back. Love the Big Block look!

Nice Rolex cloth btw Thanks again!

Dan and Sam: Unfortunately you were such competent enablers that I will probably be posting an incoming thread by the end of the week

This disease I tell ya... If I keep this up, I will be bankrupt in the foreseeable future

Sam, perhaps I should just have taken yours of your hands, considering it isn't seeing much wrist time anyway

Btw, being a serious serial watch acquisitor yourself, how do you contain yourself? Oh wait, you don't!

I'm trying to justify my actions with the fact that this will be the "most affordable" watch I am getting since I bought my old trusted Omega SMP 14 years ago Now what do you have to say in your defense? Skydweller or 5070J... choices, decisions, choices, decisions...

Kidding aside, I think the Heritage Chrono is such a nice watch and unless I find it too big for my slim wrists in the long run, I think this will take away plenty of wrist time from it's elder Chronograph brother, the AP ROC

Chris believe it or not I do practice self constraint! The pieces that have enteresd my collection have been through research and back and forth trying to convince myself that I need it. Some have been upgrades like when I traded my SS TOG for the TT RG one Oscar was selling... The 5070J and/or WG Sky Dweller will become a reality if/when I can find a serious buyer for my 18946, anyway I digress... As Dan and otger THC owners can attest to the THC is a phenominal chrono for the money. It's no Valjoux, however, robust enough to carry the rigors of our day to day activities! I gather you will love it!

Depending on what AP it is, I would say forget the THC for now and get the AP! Good luck!

Too late, the THC is already paid for Should receive it around this weekend

The AP was a 15300 priced to sell. No wonder the seller was attacked by a herd of interested buyers from day one. It got sold even before I had a chance to set up a meeting with him Oh well... my wallet is relieved
