Best Blue Dial Chronometer
I'm interested in opinions as to what you think the best blue dial chronos are.

Please interpret "best" however you like. It could mean most functional, best quality, excellent appearance, great value, most/least expensive, ones that you own(ed), ones that you'd like to own, etc, etc...

So it is very wide open. Thinking about what possibilities are out there. Looking forward to your comments and thoughts!

Yes, you are correct, it should read "Chronograph". A clear slip on the keyboard!

The above mentioned watches are beautiful examples. Let's see some more.

Best Blue Dial Chronometer
In person, this $40k white gold, blue dial chrono is just beautiful.

Had it been in stainless and half the cost, it would be a home pic instead of boutique.

Then again, if it was half the cost and stainless, I’d never be on the list to get one.

Great thread. Props for seeing a UN in here. Not common and that thread on the FP CB is awesome. The VC is gorgeous as well.
