Tudor Heritage...enable me!
Trying to convince my self I should sell my 8500 PO black with orange and put some of the cash towards a Tudor Heritage Chrono. I already have an older Sub and just took delivery of a Hulk so no real need for a 3rd diver.
I know you guys love to enable so feel free to push me along |

Great pics, great watch...bought mine new last month from a local AD and it has made me smile everyday. The ETA is also keeping great time within COSC specs. I even had to wait 4-6 weeks to get it new as apparantly they are still in quite high demand in North America.

GAME OVER courtesy of DP I'd definitely add it Mike. Stay true to the original and go for the grey dial.

That was my biggest dilemma, so i had the AD bring in both, as soon as i set my eyes on the grey dial, it was GAME OVER as Goog53 mentioned.

Another note: The new THC does not have the cyclops, but it sure looks good with one. Thinking of having someone install one.

Hi Dan,
every time I see your beautiful pics of the THC, I fell in love with this stunning watch ... I'm torn between the THC and the Black Bay ... in september, when I'll back home, I'll take the final decision on which of those two watches I'll invest my money ... Ciao Engi |

The THC is one solid timepiece and handsome but the only Tudor i have now and can sing praise is the BB:

Based on these pics I'd say the PO is history.
Good luck!!
