I think that is a beauty! I also like the Speedmaster, but at 1/2 price, the Tudor is a fine chrono. Enjoy it and congrats!

Excellent choice.

And a good write up by Monochrome with links to the Tudor/Breitling alliance.

Very nice looking IMO. I had my eye on it for quite a while but had funds tied up for another watch.

Wear it in good health.

Congratulations. This one of my favorite watches and is very rugged and keeps almost perfect time. It falls outside of the typical BB lineup and is a pleasure to wear. The more you wear it the more you will want to wear it. I get the bracelet with the lack of a on the fly adjustment but that is also some of the old school appeal for me.

Quick question for you gents.

Did yours come with a blue nato strap? I didn't get one. I've read reviews where it says the strap is included. Perhaps my AD forgot to include it in the box?

So just an update, apparently the Tudor BB Chrono no longer ships with a free blue nato strap. It is now an option to buy one with the blue strap. Tudor stopped giving the free strap around 6 months ago. At least this is the story my AD has given me.

That's a heck of a watch with bang for the buck oozing out of it. Pics do not do any of the BB's justice, IMO. Congrats!

Also it looks awesome and with 200m water resistance it’s a chrono you don’t have to baby. Congrats! Man now I want one...

Tudor, through the AD's, now sales the extra NATO straps and does not include them with the deal. The straps are always part of my negotiations now as they want $330 dollars at msrp. The Pelagos still comes with the extra rubber strap included. The good thing is they will easily sell you a different NATO than what is suppose to be on your watch. I like the red/black NATO from the BB Burgandy to go on my BB Dark so now I just need to get one.

It's a beautiful watch and getting a new watch is always exciting, at least for me.

Congratulations!

That is correct. They will often throw one in if they have one on hand if you ask though.
