Incoming Tudor Chrono

After looking for the past several months I finally found a Tudor Chronograph with the blue dial. Given this is only available from the Tudor Boutiques, it is hard to find for those of us who live in smaller markets. I was able to get it at a reasonable discount to MSRP, especially since I did not have to pay sales tax. It is used and has some small scratches on the clasp, but nothing I can't polish out. The watch should arrive this week and will post pics when I pick it up.

A big congratulations! The new Tudor blue chrono is quite the beauty! I got to try on an exhibition piece at the boutique. Definitely more stunning in person than in photos or videos. I know you will love it! Looking forward to pics and first impressions when you receive it.

The Tudor Boutique in the Meatpacking District of NYC had one a couple weeks ago. Definitely a looker but I’m holding out for a pink one.
Per their website there are only 11 Boutiques in the US. More than I thought but still not many sources.

Congratulations. I got on the phone when it was released and was able to get one immediately from a Boutique. I also had purchased a Chrono Pink from my AD. The blue is nice and reminds me of the color in the Omega Speedmaster 2020 Olympic model.

I'm looking to add one/both. Which one do you prefer and go to more often?

Nice! I am on the fence around the Pink Chrono as I still need to see one in person. Did not stop me from buying the blue chrono sight unseen!

Congrats! I picked one up while in Las Vegas in Sept, and am very happy with it.

Unable to source one locally, and happened to get lucky when the boutique made it availble to me after their buyer failed to pick it up in the three days they allow. Thought it was interesting that they allow that much time - that wouldn't happen at a Rolex AD...

I like the novelty of the pink more but wear the blue 3x as much. The 5 Link bracelet makes it very comfortable and with the on the fly adjustment it just works so well. I bought the pink, as it was offered, but based on wear I probably should have passed.

Sorry it took a while, but my flight coming back into town was delayed. I picked it up from UPS yesterday afternoon with 5 minutes to spare. Love it!

Congratulations!

I haven’t seen the blue dial in person, but it looks great in your photo’’s. I wouldn’t get polished yet so just enjoy it without any worries.

I have the black dial, but would have bought the blue or pink dial if they were available a year ago. The white dial was just too yellow/creamy so I went with the black dial.

Just in time to make some good memories during the holidays.
