What would you choose

Having sent the Trainmaster back for a refund due to the lack of any lume and it running about 50 seconds fast over 24 hours I'm looking for replacement. These 3 are an option, or please suggest other options, I want to keep the budget between $1200 and $1800 although the first Storm Chaser is slightly under this.

Pre owned Omega Speedmaster hesalite on a metal bracelet. Hands down, a way better option in my opinion. Good luck!

Agreed - an automatic speedy is blasphemous and the rest, hmmm whatever floats your boat

Longines if it must be a chrono. Or 2600-3000$ for speedmaster.

Seiko Marine Master 1600$
Oris Aquis 600-800$

Ended up not choosing any of the above and went for a more simple look, Tudor Heritage Ranger on bracelet should be with me in a couple of days. That should give me time to find a nice strap.

Nice choice. I would prefer the ranger over anything pictured above.

I liked the Oris. I think that they make nice looking watches.
