Decissions, decissions, decissions......
My AD is offering me a great deal on a Breitling, but I'm can't decide between the RG Transocean Chrono or a RG Transocean Unitime...... tell me which you prefer?

Geez Don, that's a very tough choice!
Both look very nice but I think I prefer the simpler dial of the first one, I can't see you making a wrong choice here though.

That unitime looks gorgeous! But agree that it seems big at 46.

The Unitime does look nice, but don't you already have one in SS? The chrono looks amazing with the all silver dial, that gets my vote.

LOL, yeah I do have the Unitimer in SS and love it... I agree that the Chrono has a clean dial, and is a very classic looking watch... however that Unitmer just seems to pop with that blue globe on the dial.... decisions, decisions, decisions....

By way of some background, I was at my AD's last week when I noticed the TO Chrono, tried it on, and he offered me a great deal on it.... I told him I would think it over, however all weekend I kept coming thinking about the TO Unitmer he also had is stock so I called him this morning and he offered me the same discount on the Unitimer..... so I'm left debating and going back and forth.....

46mm gold is a bit too much in my book, and the B01 movement in the chrono is widely considered to be one of the better chono movements developed in a long time.

Transocean IMHO. I've seen one in person and it's truly amazing!

The Unitime is an amazing movement and I would have bought one last year but 46mm is too big for my wrist.

The Unitime is gorgeous in person but too large IMHO.
The Transocean gets my vote. It's gorgeous.

I want to thank everyone for their opinions on this matter, and I am happy to report that after 3 trips to my AD this week to compare and contrast the 2 watches, I have finally made my decision...... I will be picking it up tomorrow afternoon, and will of course post some pics.
