Oh damn!!! I am a gear head!! While imports are not my thing I've always had American muscle cars and trucks.
I won't lie I have seen all of them once they hit HBO & run 24-7 for a month or so!!! Shhhh don't tell anyone!!!

As for the date I guess it's just a habit to have watches with them but I only need it for two things in my life. Writing a check...... ever since online banking I do that about a dozen times a year!! Signing documents, which I do on a signature pad so it's all generated & if I actually sign one with a pen I'm sure whoever I'm signing it for will know the date or I can look at my phone!!! Lol

I've owned the JLC in the past and I'd definitely choose it over the B&R. The case is wonderfully done. The movement is accurate and well constructed. And I very much enjoyed the aesthetics. It has a vintage feel without veering too far into tacky-ville. Another watch I'd consider along with it is the Blancpain Bathyscape Chrono.

I don't wear suits much at all but I also think the JLC can be dressed up or down. That was one thing I liked about my Moonwatch. It was great with shorts or a tie!! Having to wind it & no date made it short lived in my collection.

I actually like manual wind a lot... creates sort of a bond between you and the watch. Love automatics too... but to me, manual isn't a deal breaker.

I've had two manual in the past. The moonwatch & a titanium Panerai. Both of them were cool for there own reasons & not cool for others!!

For a daily watch there's something to be said about grabbing it of the nightstand & starting my day. It's just one more thing I don't have to remember or fuss with in the morning. As a weekend watch or special ocation watch it wouldn't bother me but I try to keep my Mon-Fri as simple as possible!!! Lol

Yeah not a huge fan of the fuax vintage!! But B&R does offer it both ways. I do think the JLC is a better watch. But trying to explore all options before I pull the trigger!! I did look at a Blancpain its cool & has a date but not sure I like it better or the same as JLC. If there's one thing I've learned go with your first choice or it'll be up for sale & taking a loss in a short time!!! Lol

When I think of a chronograph only the speed master and Daytona come to mind.

Out of the two in the OP I'd say the JLC

The more thought I put into this makes me think speedy auto or another Rolex sports model. Since I'm fickle about watches sometimes I feel like I can't go wrong with another Rolex if I don't like it I won't loose much & everyone likes a speedy!!!

Personally I would never buy that B&R, the design is unbalanced IMO.

JLC is the way to go.

I've now been distracted by the blue face speedmaster '57!!!! Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't even look at watches!!! Lol

We will always keep finding things if we keep looking. The trick is to stop looking when you have something good ( good luck with that)

Right!!! Lol

I'd pick the JLC, if pricing was similar. Doesn't Sinn make something along these lines-- maybe the 103?
