Chopard MM? IWC makes nice chronos, too.

Budget?
New only or pre-owned, the latter more often than not offering much better value for your money?
Why ≥44mm?

You guys are wasting your time, as usual Megan's affordable choice punches a hole through the hard driving male ego and BLOWS THE COMPETITION AWAY......

I find the The Montblanc TimeWalker Manufacture Chronograph at 43mm very alluring though not available until September of this year.

JLC and IWC would be a no brainer here.

Hi Mr WatchfreakIt's me again. I am strictly following your criterias requesting a watch that has the form and function of the Chopard Mille Miglia

It's really super easy to name "No Brainer" Swiss watchmaker brands but that's naming watches within your own comfort zone.That's Boring ! Me ? I like to think out of the Box and dare to be different.I love watching History Channel's Counting Cars and the antics of the guys at Count's Kustom so that's where I get my inspiration and ideas about watches with racing pedigree.
The Baume & Mercier Capeland Cobra Shelby I posted earlier is available in Malaysia and a Malaysian Seller ( of all people ) is actually offering the watch on Chrono24 for around US$22xx

Now if you're are racing junkie, I'll show you another Baume & Mercier watch infused with pure adrenaline racing DNA. The watch draws inspiration from the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe of 1964 .This is the Créme de la Créme of the Shelby collection, an absolutely stunning handsome 44 mm Titanium + Steel blue-silver face chronograph watch limited to 196 pieces worldwide ( 196 mph speed record achieved by the car at Le Mans in 1964 ).I guess it's your lucky day because a German Seller has the very last BNIB for sale on Chrono24 going for US$ 86xx. The retail price is closer to 8 grand though.

I really hope they drop a reverse version.

Vintage 60's panda/reverse panda would be cool.

Well easy, Audemars Piguet ROO 44, you can choose between gold, titanium, ceramic and platinum, and if you are ok with used you have steel, forged carbon, and different dials for the gold and ceramic models, 3 different dials for the ceramic if I am not mistaken.
In any case the watches are awesome, and real pieces of art, check them out
