Chrono advice
I am looking at adding a chrono to my small and fairly new collection and really like the look of the Tudor Heritage Chrono as well as the Tudor Grantour Chrono, but find very little info on the internet about their movements, except a few posts on other forums expressing concern about the durability of the Heritage Chrono's movement. Can anybody help please?
Or should I rather look at an Omega Speedmaster? Or any other recommendations in similar price range? Or wait until I can afford a Rolex Daytona?
Your comments will be greatly appreciated.

ElPrimero

The classic 3570.50 is a winner...
...priced well and an icon. I also enjoy my El Primero, though I sought an older one out, one that used the 400 movement (as used in the older Daytonas).
the Speedmaster is an Icon and the one i'd go for.
the El primero is a great movement, but it may be better to get the speedy first, study the different properties and benefits of different movement beat rates then perhaps get the El Primero as your second chrono. we all have different opinions which is w...
I agree 100% with Graham
A Speedmaster Moon is a fantastic looking watch with a dependable movement (not COSC) and wears perfectly. As a second option any El Primero chronograph is also be a great chronograph but, recently, I feel that manual wind watches carry more fun. Cheers
