I know this is a old thread, but here's my thoughts for future buyers. I owned the new BB Chrono and sold it. For me it was just to thick of a watch, it felt like a slab sitting on my wrist as opposed to a Speedmaster wearing and forming on my wrist. I found myself always tucking it back in to my sleeve. Also found it hard to read (White Dial). After 6 months of ownership, it was getting less and less wear time so decided to sell while the market was still hot on them. I can say it was a beautiful watch and I did love the look of the Opaline dial. Tudor did a great job on this watch, it just wasn't for me.
