Heritage Chrono Blue

I just feel the other two remind me of other watches. The heritage chrono is a faithful representation not trying to be anything else.

Which watch should I get?

I am in abit of a dilemma now. Have always wanted to add a chronograph to my collection as it is something which I sorely lacks. I have done some research and have shortlisted the Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue and the BB Chrono. Reasons for choosing them are...  

For me BB Chrono. [nt]

BB Chrono for me too

It’s a much more interesting (and modern) movement. Long power reserve, column wheel, vertical clutch, supposedly designed by the engineers that also helped make Rolex’s Daytona calibre (albeit for Breitling). The black dial w/ steel case is a very safe c... 

One more thought

Also, it was designed with a focus on repairability, so it has some features that I think contributed to Tudor’s decision to use it; auto-centering of chrono parts, partially modular design, etc.

Another vote for the chrono

Don’t think you’ll ever get bored of it, classic design.

I am leaning towards one of these two as the BB Chrono date window and small sub registers somehow don't speak to me. The THC speaks to me more strongly now

I have tried the BB Chrono at least 5 times since its launch. But something always hold me back from pulling the trigger.

Followed by the GMT. For some reason I was never turned on by the bb chrono. It always seemed to be trying to hard if that makes sense. So many things going on at once

Yes I agree.. [nt]

recommend as follows; -Tudor BB Chrono - because it is beautiful, robust, water resistant, supermodern chronograph movement. Downside --> thick and chunky. -Tudor Chrono Heritage - stunningly beautiful but mostly in summertime i would say. Also a bit chun... 

Hello Aaron! If your main concern is to enter a chrono in your collection, I personally feel the Heriitage model is the one to go after.

... The GMT is a superb watch and beautiful design, interesting complication... but not a chrono. BUT... main thing in your purchase decision is which of these three beautiful watches is the one YOU like better! You can´t go wrong with any of them, but as... 

Yes I very much prefer to add a chrono as it is something which I miss having in my collection.

 
 By: singingbee : October 14th, 2018-05:31
Will definitely follow my heart for this purchase and try not to let the technical aspect sway my decision. Ultimately I must be happy to wear and look at the watch daily instead of just telling myself the movement is superior. Somemore the movement can't... 

Do you really need a chronograph?

What will you measure with it?

sorry but...

they are all to big for you're wrist, you need a 38mm or under chrono imho

If you buy the Heritage Chrono

Use the rotating bezel for second time zone

Will definitely do that! [nt]

I made my decision and here it is

 
 By: singingbee : October 29th, 2018-19:43
After a few weeks of considering, comparing and going to the boutiques to see the watches again. I have made my decision and here is the latest addition to the family. I am a happy man now. ...  

Is that because

It didn't have a waitlist?

I was only seriously considering between the Black Bay Chrono and the Heritage Chrono Blue

 
 By: singingbee : October 30th, 2018-07:38
Both didn’t have a wait list. The BB GMT is nice but ultimately I didn’t went for that as what I wanted to add is a chronograph.

Thanks Nico! 😊 [nt]
