I have a Tudor Prince Date Chronograph. It's a great watch. I bought it in the hope that it would satisfy my urge to buy a Zenith Daytona. It didn't:

Same story for me. Got my Tudor ref. 79280 while partying in Amsterdam back in '99. Held me off from a Daytona for 16 years. When I finally got a 116520, the Zeniths were harder to find and more expensive.



My opinions on the Tudor, not that anybody asked:
- Love the brushed lugs and center links on the bracelet, which I prefer over the Daytona. However, the bracelet is not as well mated to the case lugs as the Daytona.
- Love/hate the dial. I like that it's basically the same as a vintage Daytona 6265 dial, but I'm actually not a fan of pandas. Purely subjective, but I think they look great in pictures off the wrist, but a bit cluttered on the wrist, viewed from afar. For example, I prefer the design of the Speedmaster Pro dial. The non-contrasting sub dials looks great both in pictures and on the wrist, and is probably the most legible chrono out there, IMHO.
- The date is practical, but messes with the symmetry. Likewise, the cyclops is practical, but adds to the overall 'clutteredness".
- The Tudor is noticeably thicker than the Daytona. I prefer the proportions of the Daytona.
- The Tudor has a signed Rolex crown and caseback which I think is cool.

Overall a great watch! I think Tudor did a great job effectively giving us a Daytona with a date, with nods to the past and keeping the design as clean as possible.

Can anyone do a side shot of a THC? Curious as to how tall it is.

It has a thick case but the flat case back makes it hug the wrist.

Thanks, Dan.
Was a bit worried about the 7753 thickness. Haven't worn any of my ETA chronos since buying an Omega Speedy due to height. Funny, I still love my Pams..... They're plenty tall too. Go figure.
I'll get onto checking these out, you guys sure do make it hard to stop buying watches!!!

No need to worry about the 7753 cause the THC has a different movement incorporating an add on chrono module. I would have preferred the venerable 7750 but my THC has run like a top since 2011 at a consistent +4 sec per day and I'm very pleased with it's preformance.
