Hi all, I’m looking to purchase my first mechanical watch in the next couple of months and am seriously considering either the Hanhart 417 ES 42mm or Tudor Black Bay Chrono. I really love the reverse panda. The Hanhart is quite a bit cheaper than the Tudor but the Tudor has a few advantages such as 200m water resistance. Which would you choose?
Hanhart every day. 10 times more interesting than the tudor.
Tudor, no question.
Tudor all day every day. I’ve never liked the knurled bezels on the Hanharts. Not knocking it, but I like the Tudor a lot more.
hanhart is way better looking
Hamilton mech chrono!
tudor black bay chrono for sure, it’s a classic with great water resistance.
Hanhart for sure! Love that coin edge bezel, so much more unique than that commonplace chrono bezel. The hands on the Hanhart are so much more stylish. I would never buy a Tudor just because of that huge snowflake hand. I just cannot ‘unsee’ it, lol. The field style numerals on the Hanhart are classic. Indices on the Tudor are diver and Rolex wannabes.
Hanhart by a mile on this one. Definitely a cooler piece.
What’s Hanhart??
Hanhart no question
Tudor, but on bracelet, not on the bund
Hanhart, wow that is nice.
Hanhart, that dial is amazing.
I’m a big Tudor fan but in this case the Hanhart is a better looking watch for my style.
Great choices both. I would get the Hanhart, because I like the bezel and markers better.
The water resistance is, for me, usually a persuasive way to choose, but not here, cause I’m not submerging either of those bad boys, so it’s moot.
