Without a doubt, THC over the new abomination. It's a watch that just makes no sense and has numerous design flaws.

...OK the conspiracy part is BS but I meant the rest of what I wrote.

I love snowflake hands and am a major Tudor fan, but that hour hand does partly block the 45min counter from 2-4 o'clock.

I am liking this more and more..

I cannot stand how it looks but In house column wheel vertical clutch Chrono at 3.5k!

I'm not a chronograph expert, but I don't get the 45 min sub-dial, how are you supposed to know the elapsed time?
Edit: from the last pic, I find that the black hands offer poor contrast for the minutes and seconds sub-dials

Omega released a 60th anniversary 1957 Speedmaster with broad arrow hands. This also obstructs the legibility of the sub dials. Yet it's been a complete success at Basel and no one has complained. It's a design flaw which NASA corrected by replacing it with pencil hands.
The Snowflake is not practical but looks better than if it had pencil hands.

Its REALLY starting to grow on me.

I'm a big fan of Tudor and snowflake hands but to me this is a poor effort from the brand.

I think it looks great. I prefer 3-register chronos, but I like the overall look of the Tudor.

The same can be said about the THC, not as much but it does definitely block the view. FWIW.

Doesn't do it for me. Subdials illegible, ugly bezel, leather strap.. I prefer the Heritage chrono which looks gorgeous and can still take a dive in the ocean.
