Heritage Chrono...where to buy? How accurate?

[greg325i]

Hey guys, I have a quick question. I saw a member here, markh, selling his Tudor Heritage in the for-sale section. It looks like a great watch, even though it's quartz.

My questions are:

1) How accurate are these reps? I've compared to some gen pictures, and the numbering on the subdials seems to be off. Is it a flaw, or is this just a rep of a slightly different vintage where the gen's number is repped accurately?

2) Who sells these? Are they offered with the NATO too?

Thanks!!!

I don't know about the accuracy. I bought the Nato strap separately. Got it from Gnomon watches. The Heritage takes a 22mm one. Here's the link.

Mine was about as good as it gets today. Quartz....looked right but functioned incorrect. I cant remember who sells the NATO, I got mine from a friend.

Yeah, it looks like the subdials are off - numbering-wise. Here's both old and new Gen's:

I had one - got it from Supermirrors/Sead. Hont has them too.

And mine was his......

I dunno.......quarz and wrong working chronos/totalizers aside -- this rep looks off and cheap. Can't exactly fathom why, though. But looking at pics of the gen (no photoshop'ed pics, normal daylight pics on chrono24) it looks............well, off and cheap....

Having said that, even the 2nd hand gen that I handled today at a local watch trader didn't exactly strike me as a high end quality watch, looking and feeling more like some sort of a "Super-Swatch", def. NOT like a 3k luxury watch....

I DO kinda like the look, but it's not a luxury watch in my book.

Hence, the 100$ quarz rep completely stinks off IMHO.....

I've since abandoned this idea based on the completely wrong subdials. I'm just going to keep my eye out for a 7032 if one ever comes along.
