Since 2011, been running a consistent +4 sec per day, and has performed flawlessly. Extremely detailed, multidimensional yet easily to read dial with many useful features make it a wrist hog. Damn right I'd do it again.

Looking great Dan!
Who makes that strap? Have a photo of the backside?
Looks perfect on your THC.

Love the cyclops Dan and Adam added. Looks good on the THC Blue also. It really completes the package for me. Also, the hour bezel would be a lot more useful for me than the tach bezel. Great looking watches!

After seeing Danīs and Adamīs pics I really want to get one of those.

I only wish it was a tad smaller, around 40mm and thereīs something about the bracelet that puts me off in some way.

I highly preferred the blue version but after a closer look the black/gray one has some small details that make it more attractive to me.

Thanks! The strap is the Bonetto Cinturini rubber nato. Possible the most comfortable strap I own and a perfect match for 22m Tudors.

The cyclops has plenty of room at 6:00 and looks right at home on the THC. I use the bezel as a simple timer and more often as a second timezone.

I love the blue as well but the finer detail on the sub dials on the grey & black THC's makes me wonder why Tudor didn't do the same with the blue.

Nice looking Tudor. I owned the BB red for short period of time and at last sold it away since the case is too thick for me. I still love the red bezel a lots.

I love both colors but lean towards the blue! I've seen great deals on preloved ones! If I didn't already have a Daytona and a Navitimer01 to fill my chrono needs I'd definitely pull the trigger on one.

I would definitally prefer and original or possibly a 145.012-67 Speed Master BUT, Tudor did such a great job with this watch that I wouldn't mine it in my collection.

I think a blue Heritage Chrono + a Black Black Bay would be a great Tudor combo.

To the THC owners with a cyclops, did your ADs fit this to the watch for you?

The THC will be my next watch.

I was completely blown away by it when I saw it at the AD, when I bought my North Flag.

I might have gotten it instead, but the North Flag is the one I've been eyeing for so long and with Christmas near, the THC was just a bit over budget, by about a grand.

When I told the Tudor representative that I knew a guy from online who'd put a cyclops on his THC as an homage to the original version, I thought she was going to have a seizure and then started blathering about altering a original, genuine product or some such and wanted to know how that was done.

I told her that the cyclops is just glued on and that it can be removed at will and that some folks just switch crystals to keep the original and then switch them back if the need arises.

I then told her that some people just remove the cyclops altogether from their Rolex watches because they don't like the looks of it.

At about that point, I had to run across the street to the bank to withdraw the cost of the watch, because my debit card wasn't authorized for the full price.

It's a good thing or she might have lapsed into catatonia.

Quite the story, Grady. Bet I'm on Tudor's no fly list.

Congrats on the North Flag.

I've got about 3K in the watch fund...and I sure want one of these! Not blue, not black...the gray. Don't see them for sale too much, though.

Just lost the love in the looks of the piece, I've finally come to a conclusion that chronograph watches are not my style!
