Re: I've only gone and done it...a non Heuer arrival!

Nice one Rich, I like it. Very striking. I remember the conversation we had about me using my Panerai for everyday wet duties. That Panerai has gone however and has been replaced by... another Panny. It is an automatic chronograph though so I'm not completely deserting to the dark side!

Enjoy your Tudor and I look forward to having a good look at it over some jam roly poly soon.

: Having toyed with other brands and watches over the past few years
: i have finally taken the plunge for what i think may be a keeper
: to join my Heuer collection.

: I owned a Rolex Red Sub (too small), a 1655 orange hand mk1 (again
: too small, although this lasted the longest due to the cool
: hands & dial) and a week with a new ceramic sub, good size,
: but weird lugs and somehow also a bit dull for me after our
: groovy Heuers!

: So my requirements was for a true holiday watch, one for the
: shower, the pool and sea (i'd never take my vintage pieces into
: this territory) and this Tudor Heritage is great. The dial pops
: out at you, the matt grey paint with black subs is a real looker
: and the dauphin hands and hand applied hour markers look great.
: Size wise... well it wears slightly larger (maybe 5%) than an
: Autavia and sits very well on the wrist. The bracelet is also
: very nice, with a very impressive feel and great clasp,
: certainly better than the Rolex's imo. The detailing on the case
: and pushers is also impressive and i prefer the bevelled edges
: to the new ceramic sub wide flat versions.

: I think it’s a cracking watch, ok so the movement is nothing
: special, but it will i'm sure be perfectly reliable workhorse
: and COSC precision is not my thing (i expect it will keep better
: time than my Monacos, perhaps i will compare soon!) for me the
: look and feel of the watch is more important and at a smidgen
: over £2k i think this is so much better value or money.

: One satisfied customer!

: Cheers
