there are alotta nice chrono's out there...and i'm a big fan of these chrono's they're all somewhat within the same range....and they all fall into the sports category......

if the daytona didnt exist what chronographs would u lust after...or would want, buy, instead of the daytona....please post pics!!

Starwalker · 9 March 2009, 02:22 AM

i'm trying to decide which one to buy next, which watch to put on the top of my hit list....all inspiration is welcome!

JJ Irani · 9 March 2009, 02:23 AM

Where's the NONE option? Chronos drive me nuts with their stationary centre sweep and over-cluttered dials.

scottschoe · 9 March 2009, 02:39 AM

No to the Cartier / Bvlgari for sure.

walds11 · 9 March 2009, 03:18 AM

I'd go for the Cartier Roadster chrono.

Kirby · 9 March 2009, 03:38 AM

Voted for the Cartier, because I love mine. If your budget allows, I'd take a look at the VC Overseas Chronograph.

Starwalker · 9 March 2009, 04:06 AM

the VC overseas is really a very nice watch tooo....they're are couple watches i forgot to put on the poll lol,

-VC Overseas Chronograph
-AP ROO
- JLC Master Compressor Extreme
- Hublot Big Bang
- Breguet Transatlantic XXI
- IWC aquatimer Ti Chrono, Pilots Watch, Spit-fire, Top Gun, etc....

Starwalker · 9 March 2009, 04:06 AM

duplicate....

Mosco · 9 March 2009, 06:02 AM

VC Overseas for me as well! Or Breguet XXI (which i already have!) or Glashutte Evo Impact

BondandBigM · 9 March 2009, 06:13 AM

I bought a TAG Carrera, much better watch than it is given credit for.

The Tag Carrera is a GREAT watch. Their level of machine work and quality parts takes a back seat to no one.

WatchTimes · 9 March 2009, 07:11 AM

bvlgari is horrid....

Omega, Breguet, Breitling, AP Roo, really all depends on your budget.

aelvin · 9 March 2009, 07:15 AM

Ap roo!!

JF23 · 9 March 2009, 07:53 AM

PAM250

mretzloff · 14 March 2009, 09:33 AM

I would never choose the Daytona as a chronograph to begin with...

In my opinion, the best chronographs are the Lange datographs and the VC Malte series chronos.

Mike B · 9 March 2009, 08:25 AM

Omega Speedmaster would be my choice !

argee1977 · 9 March 2009, 08:43 AM

Well i had the one i loved, the PAM 74, to be fair i don't think many people use a chrono function these days, but if i were to buy one it would definitely be the VC Overseas Chrono, it's a work of art and really is all that the Daytona should have been by now.

DSJ · 9 March 2009, 01:53 PM

VC Overseas or one of the Breitling.

Esquire · 9 March 2009, 06:31 PM

Omega Speedy (pre-moon) or for a toned-down chrono my IWC Portuguese :)

Starwalker · 9 March 2009, 06:41 PM

dammit, lol i forgot to add breitling tooo

lol big fan of IWC!

BigHat · 9 March 2009, 08:51 PM

Vc

jay_kay · 10 March 2009, 08:22 PM

For me the other chrono of choice is this. 1964 re edition Heuer Carrera, mine is from 1996 and I love it.

The white one is nice too, haven't had chance to photograph my black one properly yet!

Jamie

AIKO · 10 March 2009, 10:55 PM

Starwalker · 9 March 2009, 06:41 PM

Psmith · 9 March 2009, 11:35 PM

I'm not a huge fan a chronos, but if I was going to get one it would be this...

I have also been looking into getting a chrono watch and as much of a fan i am of rolex, the daytona simply does nothing at all for me. Keep those suggestions coming guys! i appreciate it

Mosco · 10 March 2009, 04:00 AM

My favorite sports chrono - and not small either, almost 48mm in diameter!

kyle L · 10 March 2009, 06:44 AM

This Speedmaster

Welshwatchman · 10 March 2009, 07:35 AM

Not a fan of either dial on the 116520 SS Daytona.
