Help me choose

Breitling Top Time the limited edition “Zorro”

Or

Tudor PO1

Like them both, anyone got any thoughts?

[AJB88]

I'm a big Tudor fan but the P01 is a big no from me.

Serious answer.
Flip a coin. Heads Breitling, tails Tudor.

When you're done and not before open and read the spoiler.

How do you feel?
Excited? Go out and buy the watch the coin flip chose.
Disappointed? Go and buy the other one.
Still in a quandary? Neither watch really hits the spot. Buy neither. Or buy both, wear them, enjoy them and learn why neither was quite perfect for you. That way your next watch will be a better fit for you.

Nicely done

That Breitling is awful, quite like the Tudor though...

[romeodelta]

I have no brand affiliation here, but they’re both quite ‘challenging’ designs IMO.

The Breitling is probably the nicest though, I just can’t get past those Tudor end links.

Buy the one you like most and enjoy.

Great answer Mike

Flipped coin it came up Tudor... just... you cant change the strap on it!

Why’s that? I think it works so well, just 30m water resistance worries me.

Think it’s really well executed vintage chronograph

Why not? You can’t change the daft end pieces but the strap itself is attached by regular 20mm springbars.

I just don't like the "zorro" bit over the dials. To me, and I won't pretend to be a great judge of style, it cheapens it. Is the 30m resistance really a worry if you like it?

Fair I guess it is a bit marmite

30m I always think of as being “splash proof” no more. A few years ago I got caught in a down pour in Bangkok and my HMT holiday watch fill3d up with water lol
