Sub Date.

Anyway, the price on the Tudor chrono is way too high. They are nice, buy way too thick for my tastes.

The Sub Date would be a great partner to the GMT...

...or (just to help ) how about a lovely black dial Exp II ...?


Good luck with whatever you decide on

Cheers

X2. The Tudor Chronos are not getting any cheaper. They are way underrated and valued. Far less were produced compared to a Rolex Sub. The Subs are a dime a dozen and one can be had anytime. Tudor

The sub seems to be the better buy but the Tudor is the nicer watch IMO.

Sub, but you can find them much cheaper than $3900.

I would get the Submariner, but I don't exactly understand why the GMT II can't be a daily wearer. I also think the Chrono price seems high, as others have said.

Submariner Date all the way, Tudor is over rated, it is a ETA in a watered down rolex case, it is the cheap line. I'd take a speedmaster over a tudor.

Tudor is NOT a Rolex, Just like Swatch is not an Omega!
