Model: Tudor Heritage Chrono
Movement: Quartz
Maker: unknown
Dealer: Hont
Gen:
Rep:
First impression:
The watch is a great piece of design (but that's just my opinion
). The casing is well executed, the engraving on the bezel side, crown and pushers is spot on. The bezel rotates with crisp clicks, the pushers and the crown are solid. The paint on the bezel has some imperfections that can barely be seen with naked eye. Only weak point is the bracelet: I found it too light with the inside part of the clasp without any engraving, all in all it feels cheap. On the other hand the links are fixed with screws (not cheap pins) and the outside engraving of the clasp is crisp and nice.
The dial, even with the wrong subdials placement, is the nicest part of the watch: it has a beautiful black/ matte paint, while the subdials have concentric rings as per gen. The markers are well aligned and the prints are very crisp, as you can see in the close-ups.
Lume is average, no pics though, I'm still struggling with my new camera
Biggest tells:
As said wrong subdials position and some imperfections on the paint of the bezel are only flaws I could spot. Can't say anything about the case back as I've never seen the gen.
Well, of course this rep comes with a quartz movement, while the gen is obviously automatic, however this may be a tell only if you open case back or listen to the watch ticking, as there's no moving hand unless you use the chrono
All in all, coming for less than 100 usd, this is a good rep with good value. I love this watch very much and I find it a real pity that no maker has made a proper rep of it yet, should it come out I would be the first to buy it. For the time being I enjoy this version :yes:
Some shots to compliment the wording:
As usual feel free to point out anything I missed or any inaccuracies stated, I will update the first post accordingly.
I would also ask you for feedback whether the pics are displayed full size, they seem to be cut to the right on my phone
:cheers:
