It can't be a Daytona, an AP or JLC

htc8p · 15 June 2013, 06:05 PM

no comprende...

just spent it on a jlc

your next choice would be:

a zenith pilot or el primero and get a lot of cash back
omega speedmaster darkside

i hope others would chime in soon.

The new Omega Speedmaster dark side of the moon?

unknown · 15 June 2013, 06:59 PM

a chronograph ... is there another option than a Zenith El Primero ?????

jackwebb · 15 June 2013, 07:08 PM

You've eliminated the only two I would consider with the Daytona and AP. how about a Tudor but if you have 10k you could get another watch at the same time. Maybe the new THC and a Speedmaster

iWC or vintage omega moon watch

Friedl41 · 15 June 2013, 09:58 PM

They just posted a blancpain flyback for 7200 instead of 15k .... Looks great.

Z-Dweller · 15 June 2013, 10:02 PM

For a chrono, I would recommend something with a manual wind and display back. Then you can see the ingenious movement that makes a chronograph so special. The rotor of an automatic gets in the way!

The ALS 1815 Chrono is sublime. Something more affordable is the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional. There are others out there!

Or go for vintage, like an early Breitling Navitimer. A Classic!

bcacncnc · 15 June 2013, 10:08 PM

I've never been a big fan of chronographs. But I do like the look and how the Daytona wears. Bit over budget I know. Otherwise the Omega moon watch would be nice choice.

Zenith New Vintage 1969

I'd try to get Ken to part with his chocolate Speedie

rejj · 15 June 2013, 11:59 PM

I'd say a Speedmaster (and still walk away with a lot of leftover cash) or a Zenith.

codecow · 16 June 2013, 12:05 AM

What about something like a Breguet Type XX? I like the Speedmaster suggestions as well, personally I'd go with the classic moonwatch. The new ceramic one is nice as well.

Not in this lifetime David and price would be a lot higher!

kilyung · 16 June 2013, 12:41 AM

Speedy

lig · 16 June 2013, 12:44 AM

If it had to something other than a Daytona, AP or JLC _ probably Linde Werdelin for a change of pace.

Survivor · 16 June 2013, 01:53 AM

Either one of these.........

iim7v7im7 · 16 June 2013, 05:30 AM

43 mm
Pilot Style
Ardoise (gray) dial
Caliber IW89365 Flyback Chronograph
Minutes, Seconds totalizers (hacking seconds)
Excellent Lume
60 m WR (swimmable)

powerfunk · 16 June 2013, 06:02 AM

Zenith triple calendar moonphase chrono + vintage Speedy Pro.

If it has to be one watch....make it a vintage RG Speedy Pro!

For less than $10k, I recently picked up a Type XX and a GP 4956 chrono. Both are in very nice shape, have classic looks, and I ended up with a white dial and a black dial chrono.

incontrol · 16 June 2013, 07:08 AM

The new Zenith Striking 10 th would be my choice. I love the color of the sub dials!
