Cat fancys next purchase?

Have you ever considered the Omega Speedmaster Racing as an alternative to this? They aren't comparable at MSRP, but on the secondary market, the price difference is much closer. I picked up mine for $7,400 CDN (< $6K USD) last fall, and feel that it's a much better watch than the Tudor. I'm one of the few people who actually use the chrono feature, and really appreciate the fact that Omega combines both the minute and hour counter into a single sub-dial, allowing for recording events up to 12 hours versus the 45 minute max for the Tudor. Whenever I see a photo of the Tudor chrono it reminds me of the Speedy Racing, so I thought I'd mention it, but I do realize that it's not exactly an apples to apples comparison.

One thing that's always drawn me to the Tudor Chrono over the Omega is the 200m water resistance. IIRC the Omega is only 30-50m which seems a bit antiquated for a sport model from a high end brand in 2022. Does the Racing model have any improved water resistance? (It's literally one of the few things holding me back from picking up a Speedmaster, not that I intend to ever go in the water with it, but just for the peace of mind)

The Speedmaster Racing is only 50M WR, which I personally find totally adequate for a chrono. I find the screw down pushers to be a real pain in the butt, and would rather put up with less WR than having to unscrew the pushers, but that's just me. For people who spend a lot of time swimming with their watch, I'd have to agree that 100M or more would be the way to go, but I have my divers for that.

definitely food for thought , I mean I will not use the chrono function to be honest, plus I have a seamaster soo trying to keep the collection  spread annoying brands. 

But I have never seen that watch before , but if a hidden gem :)

I think this Tudor is great and it’s on my list to acquire.  The 200m is awesome for a reasonably priced chronograph.  I’ve already ditched my Speedy Pro with no regrets.  I would take this Tudor over most Omega. 

fairs , why did you ditch it ? I have heard some people say that if your not really into the history of the watch it can become a bit of a bench warmer. 

I wasn’t a fan of this watch from the start because it has those snowflake hands. I’m okay with them on a dive watch, but that giant hour hand covering up the subdials for long periods of time is not well considered. When the hands are not over the subdials, it looks like legibility may be an issue.

I thought the crown and pusher arrangement was a terrible design.  For a watch that needs to be wound pretty much every day, I feel the crown should be big enough to grip firmly and have enough range of motion to turn the crown reasonably comfortably.  

Some people may love struggling to wind their watch every day and consider it “interaction” with the watch but I simply consider it poor design.

I love the way it looks but I find completely dysfunctional as a daily wear. 

If you can find it, buy it!!!

seems pretty easy to get now the hype has died down , at least in the UK 

I first thought it was an obvious ploy by Tudor to cash in on the Daytona hype from its older brother. After seeing it over and over again in various media (but only once in person from someone picking it up), I'm hooked and want one. Why are all the watches I want hard to get (at retail).

As for the Speedy talk, my Speedy is my favorite but I don't have the Tudor (yet). Also, I don't get the complaints about winding the Speedy from many (unless it is related to the fact that buying a manual wind watch means you have to wind it) but I'm old. I never had any problems actually winding the Speedy with my fat fingers (I like that it's not the free spin of my Seiko autos or the unscrew first and "am I winding it or not" with my Tudor and Rolex). To each his own here. 

I agree , I think the Tudor is growing on me day by day , will prob bite the bullet and pay a bit over retail if  required but hopefully I can pop in the AD and just get one 

Not where I’m at in the states. Only one I’ve seen is the black dial. Pull the trigger on that.
