Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue: thoughts/pics??
As the title says, would love to know the group's take on this reference. Seems to be growing on me. Opinions are appreciated.

One of the VERY few tudors I like, I can't stand snow flake hand and all of the 'self winding rotor' etc on a lot of the models, cheapens the look for me.

Oh I love the Chrono Blue... if I can snag one at the right price it might be my next piece (and my first Tudor)

The aesthetics are not for me. Fine watch I am sure but looks like something the teenyboppers would love.

Nice looking toy, blue is more popular than grey, black.
Shouldn't need to buy new, lots to be had for 3k. I find them loosing novelty fast

i own one and have few complaints, if any.
aesthetics: its a 50+ yr design that works with ss or fabric/leather bands functionality: 4 complicaitons from a rolex/tudor + 150m wr and a good size for legibility and solid lume value: compared with other $3k - $4k competitors, not much competition in automatic wr chronos imop. doesn't hurt to have rolex dna with the rolex rsc option to service it. mod potential: add a cyclops for added retro chic and change the pushers to rolex ones from a daytona and/or sub crown and you've got a very unique watch. any watch tech can do it if you buy the parts. cons: power reserve is a little low imop. the oem cloth nato is a little weak. the enamel coating on the crown can peel over time (earlier models). |

I love mine, it is my only Tudor and I am very impressed. I will be adding a cyclops for the date. It is a very handsome watch and very well priced. I bought mine from David SW.

It's a geat chrono, very functional with the 12 hour timezone bezel. Having said that, I much prefer the grey version, for a varriety of reasons.

I like it but Tudor is my favorite brand right now. I am hoping they come out with an in house chrono next year at Basel.

Test drive one first. Loved the looks so I got one. First and only watch I have ever flipped. Something weird about it. Kind of a muted look through the crystal and uncomfortable as hell.
Looks great though in pictures. |

Not a fan, although I'd like to be. Just can't get into it.

Unfortunately I have had 3 Heritage Chronos and had issues with all 3. I don't share the same enthusiasm for the chronos any longer as a result. I am all for a new in house movement. Love it in my Black Bay Black and my Bronze.
