The Tudor brand has been underestimated by watch collectors for years. Nevertheless, the interest in some of their vintage models has been growing recently. In particular, people realize now how interesting the Monte Carlo chronographs are. The definition...

Thanks Jeff
Thanks for this splendid post. I still wonder why people think that having Tudor in a collection is not a good thing. Fortunately, you're here to prove otherwise. So informative. Guillaume
Interesting review, Jeff.
I must confess that I'm more and more interested by this Chrono. Which one? One like yours seems to be a good compromise, while the Ref 7032 is my first choice. SS bezel, in all cases, please, for me. Mechanically speaking, it is not inferior o the Rolex ...
Nice review
Thank you for this review. I must say, this watch opened my eyes even more so to the tudor. I liked it so much i tried it on my wrist during my last purchase but decided to go with another watch instead. It is a very sporty without being so loud IMO. chee...
Fantastic review Thanks
I nearly got my hands on one of these not to long ago. I really had not considered them very much in the past but I am warming up very much to the idea. Thanks for a great review Jeff. Bill
I always come back to this review of the Rolex Tudor 7159
And it is a great read time and time again. Bill
This is a very interesting watch, and not only for aesthetical reasons.
Time for me to prepare something, on this one... ;) Best, Nicolas
