 The bottom half of the dial looks comparatively "bare" IMHO, but it is a cracking watch! Cool gray sub-dials (or is it my monitor, or just wishful thinking wowzer.gif) and Tudor is really getting its game on with the latest variants in the range. A fave in their new range is the Grantour - but I WISH it was 44mm, and not the smaller size.

I suggest this new Heritage chrono is a modern interpretation of the old Tudor Monte Carlo Oyster date "Home Plate"  - itself a rare old bird which regularly sells for north of $15K USD for a good one. Manufacturers - notably Omega (Ploprof), TAG (McQueen re-issue) and many other "re-issuers" are really harking back to times when they HAD a direction and a style that was all their own. I like it - sorta puts the old classics back into the "attainable" and "warranteed" range, and yet still doesn't make those who paid fortunes for their old classics, feel hard done by.

BRP - gotta agree - there is kudos in the name and this is probably a good way of amplifying it!

ANOTHER one I want! mistake.gif

Cheers all - IanM
