Is the Daytona your favourite of these 4 chronos?

^^^ This.

[artschool]

the speedmaster that is just out of shot is the best one.

And I believe it's probably about 25% thicker, which is the problem for me. Most Breitling Chronos are on the chunky side and don't play well with shirt cuffs...I prefer the watch to go under them.

If they would flatten out the Blackbird (brushed version), I'd probably still have one.

I wear the Daytona with a suit or for best...the Breitlings are awesome too though plus I have 8" wrists.

Very rude. Control yourself. You won't be here for very long if you can't.


To the op consider an omega speedmaster. But the daytona is my favorite one. You're Breitlings look great tho!

Irony as in I don't respect his opinion calling my watches hideous?

[RichM]

Just went back and looked again and forgot to mention, great collection of Chrono's Gary.

You're asking him to respect your opinion, but at the same time you're saying you don't respect his because he disagrees with you? How does that work?

I don't think he disrespected your opinion, but he could have been a bit more polite. At the end of the day we are all big boys and it's probably not a good idea to solicit opinions if you can't handle the odd negative response. The rest, from what I can see, are all very cordial.

He could have said 'personally Breitlings aren't for me' the words and attitude in his post were bang out of order.
Trust me if he'd have insulted me to my face I would not have been so polite. No need for it at all.

[NSmalls]

By a long shot

How do you measure ''equally as good''?

[h20addict]

Of those four Daytona by a mile. Now throw a Speedy Pro in the mix and things get more interesting.

[brucethemanlee]

Daytona

[watchwatcher]

I actually had a Tag very close to your model...and loved it. What a great watch. I stupidly sold it a while back.

It remains one of a very short list I wish I had back out of all the watches that I've flipped.

But...the D500 would have to take top honors for me from that group.

[The Joker]

yes

[Robbyman]

Yes by a long way, I like the 41mm Chronomat though.

[Pict]

No need for me to hum and hah on this one..........Daytona

I mean the accuracy and reputation of the B01 movement. The quality of the craftsmanship overall, the look of the watch and I think the pilot bracelet is as good as any out there and I've owned an AP on a steel bracelet.

The Daytona is my favourite watch don't get me wrong but those 2 Breitlings are also outstanding.

My wife bought me the Tag Heuer for my 40th birthday so I treasure it and will never sell it though it doesn't get much wrist time.

Breitlings make the best leather and croco/gator straps for my money.

Yeah, I don't understand the disdain I see for Breitling around here sometimes. They're not my thing, personally, but they have quite a history.

I'm pretty sure this guy out earns most of us in these forums, and he collects Breitlings.

I love those Brietling bracelets for comfort, but all that shiny metal is a bit too much for me these days. I like the looks of the Tag face, but I personally find their bracelets grab too much arm hair.
