Hi. I'm looking for additional watch for my daily rotation and have been searching around finally this is my results
Omega Speedmaster professional 9300
Breguet XXI Titanium flyback
Zenith El primero stratos flyback
Omega and Zenith are open case back, which I like most and Breguet XXI has a beautiful dial and functional. Which is the best out of three watches? Any other brand, style of chronograph better compare to these brand. I also like Blancpain Leman flyback, main concern is the case 40mm a bit too small for me but lovely movement F.Piguet 1185.

I am a big zenith fan but in this case I would take the Breguet.
After the Breguet, the zenith.
Omega is a brand I just do 't like.

You can check out the Vacheron Overseas chrono at 42 mm with a F. Piguet movement. Great looking IMO. The new Speedmaster '57 is another nice one.

Of those choices Breguet without a shadow of a doubt. I own the VC overseas Chrono, and that's a great choice as well.
Good luck

I did consider to pick up VC overseas chronograph sometime at end of this year or early next, that will be my ultimate goal so I will save it for last.
Right now I'm finding a piece that can beat around without heartbreaking too much. Something under 15k and open case back will be great.
I want to ask, is it displays case back important and more joy to own?

Both the Zenith and Breguet look nice, but I would think hard about Blancpain before making a decision. Omega is not a brand I am into, so would rule it out immediately

From the posted pics, the Breguet is too busy/blingy.
The Zenith's subdials are too close together..movement too small for case.
I vote for the 9300, better yet the Darkside

Which Blancpain would you recommend? Leman flyback?
I like Breguet but after a tons of research I find out that Breguet used lemania 1350 movement isn't proposing a column wheel movement in the type XXI but a cam operated, its quite a disappointed, correct me if i'm wrong here.
