Thank you for posting this side by side...
It really gives us a unique opportunity to compare and contrast. There are definitely a lot of differences between the two references and I think there's a place for both. Personally, I like the Hodinkee version better with the bare-minimal text on the dial and all the fonts being different and smaller - including the bezel. Can't go wrong with a fully brushed case either. Another owner of this watch posted that the H version does not have hacking seconds. Does the Tribute have hacking seconds? I'm assuming they have the same base movement but the Tribute has the date mechanism. My other question is: are mil-spec watches supposed to have hacking seconds?
Double Vision...
... it is not, only a first double wrist shot of the FF Tribute to MilSpec next to the FF MIL-SPEC for Hodinkee, both on custom Nato straps. Cheers Henrik ...
Strong preference for the Hodinkee.
I had no idea about the watch until after seeing it here and it was long gone. I might have otherwise jumped on my first Blancpain.
If there were no context, I would almost assume the one on the right is a poor reproduction of the one on the left..
Some of these manufactures really need to sort themselves out
Both look great but I must confess preferring the Hodinkee version...
I love in particular the brushed finish and the absence of engraving on the case. Best Nicolas
I prefer the shorter hour hand ...
... but the Hodinkee version overall. I just don't want to be ... in ... the ... grip ... of ... Hodinkee ;-)
Woohoo! Congrats on the new pick-up! I have to say seeing them both side by side they both looks great, I don't have a strong preference.
The Hodinkee version sounded like it was stepping all over the Tribute edition but seeing them together, I don't think there's a clear winner here. I'd be happy with either but if I had to choose I'd probably go with the Tribute.

Awesome! Mine says hi!
Love both natos! I have a few straps coming soon. OEM and some custom natos as well (inspired by your IG posts over the years haha) ...
Congrats, Henrik. Thanks for your side by side comparison of these two modern Mil-Spec. Both are gorgeous,
Mine is on her way too! Cheers and Happy New Year, Henry
