It’s also in the same position as the originals.

Nice duo, CJ!

I would actually buy Tudor if it weren’t for the square (snowflake - square snowflakes?) hands. I like their movements, cases, and bracelets. Clasps not so much, but those hands put me over the edge.

Tudor is a strong brand for people who don’t mind that look.

I have the same question - I would think the case would be really marked up from metal skulls bracelet worn directly against that watch. I don’t think it adds to the look either. Beautiful watch.

I've got history with the snowflake handset having previously owned a vintage blue 9411/0. These were a cool variant to the standard mercedes handset typically used. So it might be easier for me to accept Tudor using it now as branding identification.

I will agree the new chrono should have come with the same handset found on the Heritage chronograph. That and silver sub dials would have been a home run.

Dan - you have some amazing Tudors, and I love your passion for the brand. No disrespect meant by my original post or follow up. Tudor is a great (probably best) value for money, especially with their in house (and excellent tech) movements.

There was a time when older Tudor's were just "old Tudor's", it's nice to see that they are now "Vintage Tudors". Is my 30 yr old Tag now a Vintage Tag?

Is that a green canvas Barton strap? If so, how are you liking and how’s the quality?

It's from Hadley-Roma, bought off ebay. The one I have has a synthetic leather bottom, so it's thicker and not as pliable...maybe not broken in enough.

The Barton looks like it may conform to the wrist better without the extra material.
