The WB is getting close to twice the price of the Shunbun isn't it? OK not quite twice but definitely not in the same ball park. If that's not a factor then great! But it's not really an apples for apples comparison :)

Yes the clasp is small and simple compared to the large milled examples we've become used to on other sports watches, but in use it is dead simple and gives a clean unobtrusive look to the bracelet which is probably more in keeping with the GS / Japanese philosophy.

commented on Someone is gifting you one of these two watches (see picture). Which one would you pick and why? (It cant be because you already own the other one) ·

I am pro Tudor, but the chrono has never done anything for me. The Tag just looks better, I think.
