I don't believe this is the 1st time someone has modded a 6497 to being a chrono movement,but I do know that Tudor does not use a base eta...the eta used in the Tudor is a top grade modified with KIF shock system,same shock as Rolex,so simple it isn't imho,and come on...CW is not even in the same hemisphere as Tudor...I like the CW ,but for $4000. I would rather have this chrono on my wrist...

I'm not defending CW there. But the 3 points KIF shock system is not buying me for Tudor.
Chronoswiss, Alpina and others been doing mods on the 6497 but it never went as far as a one pusher chrono.
For sure this achievement is not the moon and it seems like CW wanted to reach some spheres with it. Again, I agree that the price is high but for those who wonder about the famous KIF, here is a pic who will show that this feature is not so much as it seems and certainly don't deserve to be compared to the work of the 2 men who conceived this CW chrono.
This told, I'm not here to bash Tudor: I was just naming it because between yesterday and today, I saw one Pelagos and one Black-Bay hitting 4-5000 buks and it's just funny as hell for me who don't worship Rolex or them under products as it was falling from the hands of a god...
You get me there I hope
As for what I could get for 4K: YES, I'm with you about the Speedy or even another comparable snack!
Here you go for a B.Bay: 4000$ in Norway with today's change.
