Why The Tudor Heritage Chrono Is The Smart Person’s Daytona |

[@anamisidro8453]

this Tudor is one of the most beautiful watches I have ever seen. Amazing.

[@UnNamedTrucker]

The Tudor Heritage Chrono is my personal Grail watch. It's gorgeous and for me it makes sense. I can see myself spending $5k as my top end for a watch I would feel comfortable wearing.

[@Claus-L.Mueller]

Hi Christian, Tudor is doing very well these days! The slogan "Tudor is the smart man's Rolex" is going to become more and more the truth. Best regards, Claus

[@TheoandHarris]

I absolutely agree! Thanks for watching, Claus!

[@Samson518]

Bought this for my son's birth year 2013. Sits waiting for him. I wear it once in a while. (42 is a little big)

[@TheoandHarris]

That is so awesome!!!! He'll love it one day!!

[@lloydyoung571]

Always love watching your videos, great enthusiasm, content - pulling the plug on Heritage Chrono blue tomorrow - much appreciated from those in the UK

[@gatorfan15wp]

Why can't Rolex bevel their watches?

[@jasonacreman]

hey Theo...just getting into this whole watch collecting scene and have been watching both you and the urban gentry channel non stop.....both are great and really informative. keep up the good work 👍

[@TheoandHarris]

Thanks so much for following along, Jason!!

[@stevenrobertson7643]

It's a great looking watch. I had one for about a year. When you opened the crown and moved the hands you could feel the movement moving inside the case along with the dial moving slightly. In addition it lost about 15 seconds a day. So in my opinion you are not getting Rolex quality with Tudor but it's much cheaper. At this price though I didn't expect the movement to be moving inside the case.

[@Stallionfragrancereviews]

I've been looking at Tudor a lot , this is one of the models that has my interest, I like how this one and the diver look really vintage, since I prefer vintage, but it would be nice to have something new

[@mikesierra5087]

I don't fancy chronograph but that's a beautiful watch and if I do come across one I would buy it , thanks for sharing.

[@vinsonquiris8579]

At first I preferred the blue watch, but lately started to favor the grey dial for more versatility. Agreed though would've preferred a 40mm case

[@gulfmen86]

Found your channel from the TGV video and Im glad I did because I am absolutely CLUELESS when it comes down to vintage watches. I definitely want vintage watches in my collection but I think it will be difficult finding many options since I dont like anything smaller than 39mm and I prefer steel.

[@TheoandHarris]

Glad you found us!! If you have any questions, let me know!!

[@gulfmen86]

Theo and Harris I have tons of questions but I dont want to bombard you with them LOL so I'll ask two questions. 1. How does one know if all the parts in the watch are authentic? Especially the old watch brands that may have gone out of business 2. I'm not a small watch kind of guy... I prefer 42mm but I dont mind 39-40mm. What is my best option for a vintage watch that size in steel? Thank you good sir.

[@azhawk516]

I think this is a cool looking watch. The price is getting up there for a ETA based watch. Not a deal breaker. I think the Hamilton Pan Europ chrono would be a less expensive alternative. It would be cool if Hamilton would bring back the Pan Europ Chrono. The Pan Europ kind of fit into the same category (fun watch with, throw back design cues) as this watch at a much better price.

[@TheoandHarris]

Great point! And I think you're absolutely right.

[@jigrodrigues]

+Theo and Harris i am absolutely in love with this watch and I ve been saving for a nice piece. Now my problem is to choose between the speedy pro and this one. But I ve got to ask, isn't the fastrider closer to the daytona? (despite the more garish color scheme) Great vids, ive subscribed

[@SuperRamenman]

Have you heard of the ARSA Super Sous Marine? Around the same time in the 1970's ARSA produced a chronograph using the exact movement as the original Tudor Monte Carlo -Valjoux 7734 manual winding. ARSA actually owned the company that once produced the Valjoux calibers, so in fact could be considered an inhouse movement version of the Tudor Monte Carlo, which in turn is using a 3rd party movement! If you are after a value for money chronograph with the similar design as the Tudor but at a fraction of the price, I would consider the ARSA.....And now for the best part -The 1971 Tudor Monte Carlo sells for around $30K-$40K on chrono 24. The contemporary Tudor Heritage chrono is around $12K. ....The ARSA is currently around $1000. Do a google search on ARSA. They are still in business today and are the leaders in making braille watches for blind people. They have a great history of watch making. ...Happy hunting. www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/arsa-precision-super-sous-marine-1774465716

[@Spiederia]

azhawk516 - Yeah, until you try to sell that POS Hamilton. Tudor vs Hamilton is eggs vs onions.

[@azhawk516]

Spiederia ha ha that is true. The Tudor will definitely have a better resale value.

[@dcann1578]

Tudor is at the price point (relative to most middle class salaries) that Rolex was at about 10 years ago. Subs and GMTs used to be expensive, but totally obtainable for most skilled professionals and office workers with a little savings. Now Tudor is stepping in to fill that price point and with their return to the US market in the last few years I think you will see Tudor start to really find a place in the mainstream watch world.

[@TheoandHarris]

I love the sound of that!!

[@pennfootball71]

For this price point I would also look at the Omega speedmaster Mark II getting a 3300 coaxial with a silicone spring and a column wheel chrono would be the movement nerd choice. If you want style I would also look into some of the Sinn Navitimer Chrono's as well.

[@ItsTimePictures]

Uncle Donnie speaks!

[@pennfootball71]

Matt Stevens Yes I do! I only recommend watches that are regulated in 5 positions and at COSC or better time keeping even if they are not COSC certified!

[@TheoandHarris]

Great tip!!!

[@trevbarlow9719]

I like the design of the Sinn Navi, but after trying both watches on, the thickness of the Sinn is just a tad too much. The Tudor, however, is just at my limit. Plus the color. I can pick one up new grey market for under €2500.

[@FC-xc3zy]

Tudor needs to build a bright white dial with black bezel of this model.

[@BLKMeSa]

Great video, thanks. Always enjoy these. Tudor is coming up big and IMO is overtaking its parent in the way you mention, heart. If they made this chrono with an in house movement with a larger power reserve, it would grab the attention of movement nerds as well. I agree with your theme of "heart of Rolex" - I really love the older Rolex and Tudor subs. They're more casual and tough looking and look better than the current Rolex subs. The new subs are almost too dressy; too shiny. I like the heritage BBs but they're actually quite dressy in person because of the smoother coin bezel. If Tudor came out with a snowflake sub in the older washed out blue color or something along those lines, they would kill it IMO. I'd buy one immediately. They should make the teeth of the bezel on the heritage BBs lines deeper and more aggressive. Anyway, I'm expecting big things from Tudor in the coming years. I'd love to see Rolex make a retro sub in a slightly bigger size (I have larger wrists) - something along the lines of 41 or 42 mm. A nice ghost bezel with the new 3255 movement would be incredible. But they're probably not going to do that and just rest on their laurels and leave the sub as it is for another 5 years!

[@TheoandHarris]

I should forward your message to Rolex, you'd be a killer Tudor design exec!! Thanks for watching!!

[@BLKMeSa]

+Theo and Harris Haha! Cheers!

[@ItsTimePictures]

I tried it on a couple times and it really is quite nice. In fact, it's fantastic on the wrist.

[@TheoandHarris]

Glad you liked it!!

[@dwaynegriffeth7800]

I have never been a big fan of chronographs or any watch with a busy dial. But I really like the vintage feel if this watch. And I of course respect the Tudor line. My current "Grail" watch is a 1970's Tudor Prince Oysterdate with the coin-edge bezel.

[@TheoandHarris]

Thats a grail for sure!!

[@fallenangel226]

Very smart analysts, totally agree with you about the brand Tudor and the features of this model. Great fun and too big for me also chronograph.

[@eco8gator]

Agreed, the big block and vintage MCs are the ones I like. The new Heritage is great too...I prefer it over the Black Bay.

[@tcdevotie]

Enjoyed the video on this watch, it really is a great looking piece. If one can accept the thickness, I think it's just great and satisfies the chrono-itch. That 45 minutes counter is so odd and cool at the same time. This will be my first mechanical chronograph.

[@TheoandHarris]

It's a stunner!!

[@amroalwardani4098]

Great video my friend👍🏽 definitely one of the watches I really love, and the only reason that I didn't go for it is that it doesn't have an in-house movement!! other than that it's one of the most sportiest gorgeous watch out there, and probably if Rolex put one of the new in-house movement that they have for the new Tudor's.. even if the price increase to $5000 or $6000 I will definitely go for it, it has the heritage The history and it's beautiful+ it screams fast cars

[@light1531]

Absolutely spot on, the GMT bezel is also very useful. BTW what is the best value in semi-perpetual calendars, do you rate the Breitling A19030, A19330, A19340 and A19350

[@TheoandHarris]

Thanks for watching!! And I'll make a video on it!!

[@light1531]

+Theo and Harris A rival watch channel, not talking about this watch, but perpetuals in general, said that such watch with 500 pieces need more regular servicing, so you should be even more careful in the preowned market that the seller has done some assessment of the movement and can back their product.

[@markusjenni4804]

I got it lately, really cool summer watch especially with the Tudor Nato strap....Tudor gets really emancipated from Rolex these days.

[@williamcoolidge9884]

Love your videos and watch them all but a suggestion: if you know you are going to add a graphic or photo, shoot with video with an offset frame so you have room to show the overlay but still see your face. Federico does this all the time and it is much easier to watch. Keep up the great work!

[@TheoandHarris]

Great feedback, William!! Thanks so much!!

[@bearclooneywatches4186]

I fully agree with you and I bought one. I own Rolexes (sub, deepsea, gmt) and all three new Tudors, BBB, Pelagos and Chrono blue. Rolexes... I respect.... These Tudors... I LOVE! Nice review! Tudor = Smart Man Rolex

[@TheoandHarris]

Thanks so much for watching, Mike!!

[@mjaywalking9731]

They got everything right, except for the movement. the modular 2892 DD module chrono movement leaves much to be desired in terms of reliability, performance and above all serviceability.

[@TheoandHarris]

Great critique, man!

[@gatorfan15wp]

Shashike Jaywalking and thickness

[@veebeem953]

For service, you send it to Tudor / Rolex and they will fix it. You could also let it service through any good watchmaker. If it had a in-house calibre, service would surely be more expensive. The only one who really benefits from in-house is the producer, not the custumer.

[@freegibran]

I purchased this watch today. Great points.

[@xql22]

One that, what do you think about the big blocks or the later prince date chronographs?

[@pedrocbdias1]

I'm not a big fan of the Daytona because I think is too overpriced... but this movement does not make it totally for me, it's a shame because I love the design. What you think about the B01 from Breitling and what's the best bang/buck from their line with it? (of course the Navitimer is an icon and in a couple of years we can get an amazing deal on pre owned market). great video. Cheers Christian.

[@80sruler]

I'll be untested when they upgrade the movement like they did with the Pelagos

[@dufferjuice]

Great review. I really appreciate your prospective. Random question... are you a Gary Vaynerchuk fan? I see his influence in your video style. I miss watching the thunder show... anyway, great work. Thanks!

[@TheoandHarris]

Damn straight! I love Gary and this show is 100% based off of his advice! Thanks for watching!!

[@generalpatton272]

Hey new subscriber here, I'm happy to have found this channel. Awesome video, I think Tudor is a cool brand, gotta love the resurgence. What's a good winter watch? I've see a lot of options on summer watches.

[@TheoandHarris]

Thanks for following! And hmmm I often opt for a great dress watch in the winter - something to really add some refinement to a sweater!

[@washingtonfootballfanwgil8392]

I am rather new to watches and I have a question: When people comment about the Tudor being a watch for teenagers, where does that way of thinking come from? The fact that I really like the Sinn 103 better than a Daytona and the Tudor is a reflection of my economic class or, my horology ignorance? I wear what I like. What about this hobby do I have yet to learn?

[@jigrodrigues]

This watch is giving me a lot of trouble because of how good it is...

[@ttmhog15]

Hey!! New sub, love the vids. I was wondering if you could do a comparison between the Daytona and a comparable Speedy (price-wise). Thank you for all the hard work. Max

[@HywelOwen]

I like your wall telephone.

[@TheoandHarris]

Thank you!!

[@tomace664]

Nice rotary phone!

[@TheoandHarris]

Hahah thank you!!

[@mikehoward5004]

Steinhart has a very similar watch for 40% of the price of this Tudor. Budget friendly alternative.

[@itsKibbleTalksWatches]

Great video! I love the dial of the Tudor, so nice :D

[@TheoandHarris]

Thanks for watching, man!!

[@jeanlefranc3817]

Is it me or is the image blurred ?

[@DrSpeedNL]

Dutch team colours! Now I have to buy one... Regards from the Netherlands.

[@TheoandHarris]

Thanks so much for watching!!

[@trevbarlow9719]

You, my friend, are Dutch!

[@edwri9759]

Great watch but they didn't taper the bracelet, that ruins the look for me.

[@TheoandHarris]

Great eye! I agree!!

[@jfm562]

Ed I like the wide bracelet. I have a large wrist.

[@JensonSLee]

Boom, I liked your video.

[@thesilverphist6483]

it's all about the le cresuet 😁

[@perezpepito104]

This is a manual wind? I thought it was automatic!

[@philipallen2730]

Beautiful watch amazing colours

[@TheoandHarris]

I completely agree!

[@ferisalgue]

Please do not get me wrong.... I LOVE the Heritage Chrono in Blue... but a smart man, would get a Speedmaster (3570.50) in that price range (Used), if one already has a speedmaster, Heritage Chrono is the way.

[@TheoandHarris]

Terrific tip!!

[@ferisalgue]

Thanks :) I just feel is more of a watch, more so if you find a 861 or even 321 caliber. Imagine having an original 321... *.*

[@j.s.3414]

Tudor Chrono is much more versatile. The speedy is very nice to wear, but the Tudor you don't have to worry about if you wear it doing anything your day throws at you...water, dirt, sweat, door frames...it's a wear it and forget about it kinda watch.

[@simeonaleksiev8690]

It needs tachymeter bezel fgs

[@ryanmanak4129]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can give me any advice on watches. I'm going to New York in 3 days and I'm want to buy a automatic chronograph. I don't care if it vintage or new but my max price is 300 usd.

[@ryanmanak4129]

Or a divers watch

[@ItsTimePictures]

+Ryan Manak don't buy in NYC. You are more apt to being ripped off than anything else. Not to mention the 10% sales tax. I lived there nearly 9 years. I know what I speak of. For $300 you are better off finding something that you can purchase online and have shipped to you.

[@ryanmanak4129]

+Matt Stevens (1783pictures) thanks for the advice. Do you have any watch recommendations?

[@ItsTimePictures]

Seiko SKX007 or 009. Not expensive. Can take a real beating. No they are not incredibly accurate, but if that is what you want you should buy quartz. I do not know anyone who has been disappointed wit the SKX. Get it on rubber and find an after market bracelet.

[@ryanmanak4129]

+Matt Stevens (1783pictures) thanks! Do you also know of any chronographs?

[@thewatchaficionado641]

100% absolutely! Daytona is overrated in my opinion

[@TheoandHarris]

Thanks so much for watching!!

[@divinewind86ful]

I thought og rolex daytonas had zenith movements in them

[@TheoandHarris]

Not all! Valjoux, Zenith and Rolex!

[@ajaxforever5473]

I don't believe you when you say you would get the Tudor.

[@TheoandHarris]

Hahahah fair enough! But believe it or not, it's the truth!

[@stephenrhodes7758]

I should like this as i absolutely adore Tudor as a brand but this piece does nothing for me.

[@TheoandHarris]

All good, man!

[@angelusavila2409]

love the intro

[@TheoandHarris]

Thank you!!

[@LobstarNZ]

Try it on, it's way to thick. Otherwise an awesome watch, pity😤

[@veebeem953]

With 13mm, it is one of the thinnest chronographs available.

[@nickg2954]

its only for Mets fans

[@BobEMart]

Can anyone identify the watch on the chick with the superman jaw at far end of Archie? i.imgflip.com/19j0it.jpg

[@divinewind86ful]

isn´t tudor going in house ?

[@TheoandHarris]

In some movements, yes!

[@biglocksmith]

It's an amazing watch! It would be so Painful if you had that watch and something was to happen to it. You would have to take a lot of pain pills to deal with it. Lol. But be careful you might rub your nose raw. Lol

[@yousif4646]

Discontinued

[@PiranhaJaw22]

you talk too fast. its annoying

[@rajmahbubani3025]

And rubbing his nose every now and then. Annoying.

[@MrTaib-kj4ib]

I think it's fine

[@Ggma8989]

why the hell would anyone get a tudor? it's basically saying "hey I can't afford a rolex, but I'm a tryhard"

[@TheoandHarris]

Thats a fair perspective but I think, if youre interested in the opposing one, you should talk to some Tudor lovers! I think theres plenty to love!

[@j.s.3414]

This is like saying "I bought a Porsche because I couldn't afford a Ferrari". None of it is true, and oozes ignorance and snobbery. I own both a Black Bay and a Sub...I wear the BB almost everyday because it is more reliable, versatile, and frankly...has a hell of a lot more soul and character. People ask me about my Tudor...nobody cares about the Sub because they're a dime a dozen.
