As many of you already know I love chronographs. Always find reasons to take advantage of the timing function such as how long to smoke a particular cigar, drive times from city to city, and cooking just to name a few.

I especially love chronographs w/ 2 tone sub dials.

It makes identifying a chrono, and occasionally a brand, easier from afar and adds an air of sophistication to the wearer, imho. Although I realize most chronographs are rarely used.

Now lets see your chronographs and their ultra cool sub dials!!!

The only chrono I own is a 15 year old Swatch but nice pics, Dan!

I'm not much of a chrono man (cro-magnon maybe) but here are some of my favorites:

And one incoming soon.

It is not that hideous platinum chronograph from Rolex? What is it called Deedona, Daynona, or something...

Beautiful pics by the way guys.

Tudor66 · 10 October 2013, 02:06 AM

Great thread Dan.. Here are a few of the chronographs that have slipped through my hands recently via sale/trade... If I kept every watch I admired then I would certainly be "living in a van down by the river..!"

vukotab · 10 October 2013, 04:50 AM

I had couple of chrono's in my time...now most of them are gone...

jokr82 · 10 October 2013, 05:47 AM

adsusanto · 10 October 2013, 04:11 PM

Browner · 11 October 2013, 05:14 AM

Im thinking of trading up with my Chrono and have a crush on the IWC S/S Chrono, Spitfire OR the Omega Aqua Terra Chrono - grey dial with black sub dials!! Hmm, decisions, decisions........

changzilla · 14 October 2013, 12:16 AM

Dan, love the Seiko with the crown at 12. Which model is that?

Thanks, Steve!

It's a 6138 0040, nicknamed the bullhead.

They came in this color scheme as well as brown.

Sadly,my 50 year old eyes now struggle to see the sub dials!

G8RDPM · 14 October 2013, 12:14 PM
