This is the only chrono currently in my collection, and the one watch I will never sell.

My favorite (besides the Daytona) is the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Chronograph that Chip has - man I really dig it. I wish I had a few more $$$ and I would pick one up in a heartbeat.

I used to have two of them. Sold one about two months ago. I love that watch!

Nothing too fancy but... This watch speaks to me at some level and gets lots of wrist time.

As I expected, all the beautiful chronographs, new ones, some beautiful vintage ones ( GJ I love that Seamaster!). I really like that Breguet, awesome! And I almost picked up a Sinn not to long ago, they kind of "speak to me" too! Bill

The Breguet has six hands, and no two are the same.

I think I counted 7 hands, George. Three subdials and 4 hands on the center spindle. The 6 and 9 subdial hands appear to be the same; all told there are 6 different hands.

Here is my Favorite (i.e., only) chronograph. A very recent addition to the family.



I like the feel of it - very comfortable on the wrist.

Absolutely! If I tried that, all I'd get would be an out-of-focus photo and a wet, nasty Rolex!

Thanks for the compliments Allan and JJ - I think it is nice to have a little scenery with the watches - try to reflect that I actually wear them. I really love the beauty of the outdoors, hence those type of pictures...lol

The speedmaster is a 2005 with SELs. I really like it. The first day I wore it, I felt like I was cheating on my GMT! I don't think it will get anywhere as much wrist time, but for the time it does get, I'm really enjoying it!

You're more than welcome, Brendan. Just keep those artistic pics coming....we love 'em!!

One of my favourites - the Sinn 142 D1, Titanium, LE.




And one you don't see often - the Sector 1000M Dive Chrono.
