Hello All,
I have been talking to a seller about the Tudor Heritage Chrono watch... It's in rough shape Do you think it can be cleaned up? Some of the the scratches are deep too... I showed the Pics to a Watch Repair guy I know and he said it would polish up nicely....What do you all think?

MARTIN1264 · 9 February 2018, 03:53 AM

Pics....

If the price reflects the condition, it might be worth it. There are a lot of these out there, it's easy to find one in better condition. I'm thinking about getting a blue one myself, so I really like the watch. But I wouldn't get a beat up one to save a few bucks.

Jhowton23 · 9 February 2018, 03:56 AM

i dont think thats rough at all. if the price is in line with the condition i say go for it. i wouldnt polish it either, i will take scuffs and clean edges 10/10 times over potentially rounding out and changing the shape of your watch with a polish. I say buy, wear, and enjoy. looks like the previous owner did

I find the dial on the Tudor a bit too busy with the multi color scheme. As far as the shape. It can be easily cleaned up.

The safety lock on the clasp looks bent or warped a little, otherwise it looks ok. I wouldn't be in a rush to polish it either, it's barely worn in.

MARTIN1264 · 9 February 2018, 04:13 AM

below 2k without box and papers...

ArtNouveau · 9 February 2018, 04:17 AM

I agree it can be fixed...but high $2000’s will buy you a like new safe queen with full kit.

MARTIN1264 · 9 February 2018, 04:19 AM

Thanks you Guys.... I guess I will spend a little more and get a better one.

These are on my radar as well. I have seen a number of these in better condition with box and papers in the 1800-2100 range. I would say if you can snap this one up for 1350-1500 that's an alright deal.

I love the looks, but have had bad luck with the DP movement.

That's a shame. What happened with yours? My Monaco has one as well, but luckily I've had no trouble with it (except for a $700 service bill!). I do tend to get lucky with these things, though. As a result, however, I'm very unlucky in love and in Scrabble. Can never get the letters I need.

stratguy · 9 February 2018, 05:24 AM

I think the watch looks fantastic as it is!!! Buy and leave it alone.

jnelson3097 · 9 February 2018, 05:32 AM

If that's the one that was posted for $1650, then I'd buy it.

Dirt · 9 February 2018, 05:46 AM

Never.
I would just go and pick up a speedy.

watchwatcher · 9 February 2018, 05:50 AM

Oh sure...it can be fixed up, no problem.

The bigger question, for me, is that if this is how someone treats their watch, what else is wrong with it? Or could be?

HORNBLOWER · 9 February 2018, 06:08 AM

Just needs a light polish.

MARTIN1264 · 9 February 2018, 06:22 AM

I passed on it....It's on another forum. I'll wait for a better one in my price range to become available..... Thanks to all

Awesome watch. Have it cleaned up and you are good. Like someone else said, you could find one in better condition.
