Man, i was out of shape and it took me ages to make the change without scratch the watch.
Especially the "inside" end links made me sweating bullets

Nice "cheap alternative". I really like that chrono with the date.

Panos, Just B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!

What do you think of my cheap chrono, now when I have changed the dial, since I like this version so much:





And here with another cheap alternative to the very cool 1680 in the background:



It wasn't until I owned a bunch of Rolexes that I ventured into Tudors. Also, it is the Tudors that gives me nice comments from other people.

Once again: Great pictures of (IMHO) two of the best chronos in the world, one because it offers so much bang for the buck, and the other because it is simply the best chrono caliber there is. Both of them very accurate, sturdy and reliable.

(Also, the Tudor Jubilee is super comfortable!)

Best,

A

I confess that I was wrong. Tudor does make some really nice Rolex knockoffs.

Some ppl never learn

Panos, funny thing is that the 'other' thread will go into the 'idiot-thread junkyard' and yours will seem totally irrational That's OK, most of us know better

Big Congrats buddy for the dial change
Both combos look great but this dial is more readable than the black

I am so envy of you Tudor Sub (especially the unbelievable condition)!!!
An all blue Tudor sub or one in the condition of yours is must next target. If you ever decide to sell it, i am the first on the list

Nobody will ever tell me that they are poor relations, absolutely stunning watches. The first " Rolex " i ever owned was a Tudor. Man i long for that watch now, because at that time of my life (30 yrs ago ) i felt that i was indestructible. " Wishful thinking huh "
