What new Tudor Inc Basel 2017 models
Hello all Im looking at purchasing a new Tudor. I would like one day to own a nice vintage / dress / chrono / sports. I will probably all be Tudor (maybe a vintage Rolex) unless I win the lottery. I muted on here a couple months ago I was interested in buying, pre ordering the new BB chrono and was surprised at the mixed reaction and this was confirmed when reading various other opinions.
I own an Omega planet Ocean and now looking at trading in against a 79180 Big Block. I will need a diver-(to replace the PO) so either a BB or Pelagos?? or something modern more everyday quite like the North flag... At the Mo the Big block will cover the Chrono / vintage -ish 93...(until I can find a nice Tudor 7020 day date) Can I please ask the community for a general vibe what in the range is credibale amongst the watch savvy. Many thanks Steve |

This is all about personal choice as all of the Tudor range is credible, they are a lot of watch for the money. The Big Block is a real winner if you can find one in good condition, I personally love the Pelagos but the choice of BB's is great. Good luck in your search

I like the pictures of the new Tudor Chrono and will check it out as soon as my AD has one. I don't think you can go wrong with Tudor, I own five at the moment. If I was a younger person and just getting into collecting it would be my choice as you get a lot of watch for the money. You can also change up metal bracelets for leather straps for NATO straps. They are a lot of fun. Rolex is my brand but Tudor gets a lot of wrist time.

The new chrono got a pretty harsh reception here, but at the recent LV get together/hedonist-fest, many members were wearing it and it looks pretty good, I wouldn't write it off. Also the new SS bezel BB looked cool, check them all out.

Big block is a good choice. I like the BB date with steel bezel among the basel 2017 releases.

I like the dial spacing on the 36 better for some reason. It just seems more inviting. Crown proportion much better on the 41 though. Both nice.

I have to say, I quite like the Tudor chrono also. That said, at the price point of about 3.5k I'd look at the speedy pro too if desperate for a chronograph.
