Is the Daytona your favourite of these 4 chronos?

I agree. Breitling is chronograph (Breitling invented the modern chronograph in 1915). The black is my ideal 44mm size, with a date and high WR. Hard to beat that combo.

Yes Daytona it is. But then again compared to those hideous Breitlings even a Timex looks good...

Those Breitlings are absolutely stunning and top top quality and to be honest as equally as good as my Daytona. The RRP is £7190 on each of those and £9100 on the Daytona. If Breitling aren't for you please respect others opinions and feelings and simply decline to comment if you're going to be down right nasty.

Of course the daytona, always prefer no date complication on my chronos.

I like those two Breitlings - the black dial in particular.
...or good manners, it would seem

Daytona by a distance, I have a couple of friends who prefer the Breitling and although they are obviously quality pieces they are just not for me. I wasn't actually a fan of the Daytona until the ceramic bezel. A great collection BTW

Irony as in I don't respect his opinion calling my watches hideous?

I don't think he disrespected your opinion, but he could have been a bit more polite. At the end of the day we are all big boys and it's probably not a good idea to solicit opinions if you can't handle the odd negative response. The rest, from what I can see, are all very cordial. |

I mean the accuracy and reputation of the B01 movement. The quality of the craftsmanship overall, the look of the watch and I think the pilot bracelet is as good as any out there and I've owned an AP on a steel bracelet.
The Daytona is my favourite watch don't get me wrong but those 2 Breitlings are also outstanding.

Yes for Daytona. But the Omega Speedmaster, not in the collection, is not far behind for less money.

To be honest aesthetically I like the Tag Heuer the best. Probably the best bang for buck as well.

No of the four pictured I prefer the white faced Brietling and it has a date on it.

Probably - all around better one for me. The Tag doesn't appeal to me aesthetically, and the Breitlings are bigger than I care for lately (but I do like them otherwise)

And I believe it's probably about 25% thicker, which is the problem for me. Most Breitling Chronos are on the chunky side and don't play well with shirt cuffs...I prefer the watch to go under them.
If they would flatten out the Blackbird (brushed version), I'd probably still have one. |
