my choice for a 'higher end sports watch'
« on: April 23, 2015, 08:53:51 PM »
At one point, I was considering these:
Cartier Calibre Diver - ss on bracelet: too busy
VC overseas 3 hander - white dial: date window placement & shape kills me
Breguet Marine - the one with the blued hands: it will scratch the moment u breath on it & the
GO 70s in blue
with 3 of them having no functional bezel...

This one won easily...although I am super keen on a blue dialed VC overseas chronograph



perfect size. classic lineage. one of the best chrono movements ever.


great design, curvy and sexy as hell








the red adds a dash of character




i like the PCL on this




wore this the most after the SubC


coupla other favorites

this trio should cover all needs eh


wrist shot

All 3 Rollie siblings looked great; but for a Chrono, you can't go wrong with the Daytona  :thumbsup: Wear them in good health, mate!

Just curious as you already have the 116523, does owning a 116520 seem too similar?

no not at all.
it ends up being classy vs sporty.
enough wrist time for both

i think it if were just a black vs white dial it would overlap.
the 2t adds that touch of class.
