My favourite owned chrono would be a tossup between my Speedy Pro and this vintage Heuer Carrera.

This is a little seen watch that I really like. I actually like Blancpain very much but never seem to buy one. How's the reliability? That and service quality would be my only reservations.

Great choices and great pictures.

I like the Speedmaster with a display back. Iconic and affordable.

My first chrono love is the Speedy Pro.

Then I discovered this JLC, but the silver dial variant...

Paulie my friend--it is number 3 on my list behind these 2! Of course that also excludes a certain vintage one I have a fondness for.

Have a great day buddy!!
