Pull trigger on Tudor Black Bay Chronograph?

Got call from AD and have opportunity to pick-up a Tudor BB Chrono Panda dial on leather strap.

Do I pull trigger or wait for GMT-Master II (and keep powder dry)?

Saw it in person and much nicer than I expected. Wasn’t in market for chrono (already have speedmaster pro), but this was great looking watch.

It's a nice watch. Recently got a Panda on a bracelet. I'm so tired of waiting on Rolexes. It's getting stupid.

Kind my thoughts. Get Tudor Panda and then focus on next piece (Patek or Lange ).

Get the Tudor chrono because your heart makes you, not as a placeholder.

absolutely pull the trigger on that BB Chrono while you wait for the GMT......it's two totally different watches and works well with each other in a collection

I love my BB chrono panda but it’s a pretty chunky piece so I would encourage you to try it on first.

Your gut will tell you what to do.
