Thinking about getting a red chrono...

Hi guys, I'm thinking about picking up either one of my favourite red chronos, either an original red Tudor Fastrider Ducati or a red Ferrari (Panerai) gran turismo.
Which would you guys choose?

Personally not a fan of anything with the Ferrari logo slapped on it.

If you ever resell...be prepared to take a bath.

Hi not a fan of any gimmicks Ferrari is not involved with Panerai so is Ducati on Tudor

Buy a nice pre-owned Panerai if you get a 44mm pam005 marine logo or a submersible 47mm if you like to go big you got a lot of choices with Panerai true quality and present

As for Tudor for me personally only the black bay bronze

Speed is bang on with the fall of value if you want to resale this car ,bike logo watches

Same here. I detest co-branding. The Omega 007 watches leave me cold. And I would never wear a "Ferrari" watch even if I drove a Ferrari.

I don't understand partnering a chronograph watch with a motorcycle manufacturer. It would be physically impossible to actually use a chronograph while launching a motorcycle.

Still, it's a cool looking watch.

Just be careful. The fastrider ceramic case can crack if you smack it on something.

I love the Tudor with the racing stripe. Reminds me of old racing cars.

I'm not the biggest fan of either in red per se... But that Blackshield is pretty angry and I LIKE it! I still say TUDOR!!!

The red dialled Tudor Tiger has a really beautiful dial and can be had for a song. I would check that out as well.

That red dial 42000 is bad ass. I am looking at it's black dialed brother right now. They discontinued them in the US but I think still sell them in Adam's neck of the woods.

They're not on the website any more, but can still be found in ADs.

I think I was told that the AD's in the US shipped all of their stock back the Tudor USA who shipped it to Asia where that model was a better seller. But if they pulled it from your website/catalog it must not be that good of a seller?? Maybe for $2200 I should pick up the black dial complete (like new) set I have been offered??? Hmmmmm

But OP, the red dial is fantastic. Like it way more than the PAM which has the huge Ferrari logo on the dial.

The cars are nice...yes. The logo belongs on the vehicle, but I don't want it anywhere near a watch.

I would gladly sing a song or two and would even throw in a sax solo if someone would give me one. Lol

Lol, that is awesome Ben!! I ran across one around 9 months ago and was really impressed by the dial and the price was very attractive.
