Didn't say anything about commonality with the 6263 to the extent it’s a mirror image, or a pretender.
I said it “takes after” the 6263, the common perception of watch reviewers and enthusiasts in the major watch forums. That’s why white is in demand.
On its own, it’s a great wearing and looking watch for just RM20k, an amazing price point and value for money.
And no, I don’t feel like Paul Newnan wearing it, but my Paul Newman is much safer in the safe.
The BB58 Blue was hype and hyperbole, but lived up to them. The Chrono was sprung on the market without any promo blitz like the BB58 Blue, but the watch community was instantly drawn to it for the above reasons, fueling a strong demand.
In short, the Chrono is a cheap watch relative to Rolex but punches the weight of Rolex.
