@Benzsiam,
Once you've had the weight of a PM Daytona on your wrist, how do you go back to wearing the other ones?

That’s all I have are Chronos.

Thank you, sir!

Sadly, I forgot to add my vintage chronographs, including my namesake.

I am a fan. I find them mechanically and historically interesting with the different approaches to achieving the complication.

P.S Great collection

I had a chance to try the S&G recently and was also impressed with the quality. The crowns screwed down very smoothly. A bit big for my wrist but the S&G is my favorite one in the BB line up.

Oh it’s just the previous Gen sapphire sandwich modded with a mitsukoshi dial.

Very nice I’d love to add a zenith one day. It’s clearly the missing piece in My collection.

I forgot about that edition. Is it an OE dial or aftermarket?

OE one. I was lucky to pick it up.

I appreciate chronographs but having owned this one for a little over 2 years, have come to find that I use the rotating bezel more than the actual chronograph.

Hope Tudor updates the THC and I will likely get that.

That Tudor Chrono is gorgeous

As a racing fan I enjoy using them to calculate lap times and speed as intended.

I wear all my timepieces in rotation, I don't feel that much difference, I get used to it.

Harry-57 · 9 January 2022, 10:28 PM

It's a function I used to use often but tend to use less now. I've got a Carrera and a Speedmaster X33. That's all I need. There are plenty of stylish and pretty chronos to chose from but none more user friendly and above all legible, than the ones I have.

Since I bought my Carrera I have been increasingly working across multiple time zones, so I now have a selection of GMTs, which if I had to make a choice, I would keep first.

inadeje · 10 January 2022, 01:31 AM

I am a chrono fan and have been ever since I saw the first Daytona and Speedmasters back in the 70s. They just sing to me. However, my appeal is aesthetics, since I have rarely used the chronometer to time anything.

I’m also finicky, because to my eye the two subdial variants like say the Tudor don’t compute in my mind, I’m left confused with “where’s the missing subdial”

Furthermore, those variants in which there are 3 subdials but where the movement has been turned 45 degrees (with subdials on the left) don’t appeal.

Basically, to please my aesthetic tastes there must be 3 subdials in the lower half of the dial that are nicely spaced, e.g. Daytona, Speedmaster, AP RO, Zenith chronosport, etc.

My 2 cents.

Agreed I don’t like the 7750 style layout.
