What am I missing? Chronographs between $5-8K

[sierra11b]

Not entirely sold on the Daytona that I have actually considered a Pre-tiger or Big Block. Heck, maybe even a Tiger if the price is right? Afterall, they have a date, are a third of the price, have more dial options if you're patient enough, and more and more people seem to complain about the modern Daytona legibility.

I owned a 3570.50 and loved the watch for what it was but hated the non-hack and WR rating. But for the price NIB it can still be had for a bargain which has me thinking of going back to Omega. I'm not really sold on the other Speedmaster models as I wanted the quintessential moonwatch. Plus owning the moonwatch was the only reason for me to go back to Omega after having problems with them (another story). I dunno... maybe the co-axial should be considered after all based on my criteria?

I have nothing against the Valjoux in the Tudors but at Big Block prices I might as well consider Zenith 36.000 VPH. I know with a discount I could even start looking at the Striking 10th for under 10k.

So what other Chronographs am I missing? Anyone have an new El Primero on bracelet? I really want in-house, 100WR, and something somewhat versatile and sporty in the 5-8k range.
