I offloaded my SMP recently, as I just fancied a change. Now I wear a fitbit on my other wrist, I am much more happy to wear a no-date watch, and certain avenues opened to me.
A Tudor Heritage Black Bay in the original red came up, and I grabbed it. Never had a Tudor before, and I love the idea of near Rolex quality without the price or notoriety. I like the size (tad bigger than a sub, close to the SMP actually), and the look is great. Retro without being a clone of something old, and with its own identity.
First impressions are very good. It wears comfortably, and the size is spot on for me. The burgundy bezel and crown ring, with the gold accents and dark brown dial lend an overall warmth to the watch, which is very pleasing. Quality is excellent as you would expect. The bezel clicks with a snapping sound that is very reminiscent of an old typewriter! The ETA inside is in its top grade, so should be reliable and longlasting. The bracelet is again high quality, equalling he best I've had.
Very happy, all told.
