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! I've chatted with Simon, their showrunner/master watchmaker - he's the best. 10x more character in a Hanhart, whatever that's worth. Both are exceptional watches though.
