Post pics of you'r favorite Sport's chrono
As you may know I've been looking for a chrono for a while, last week we bought a breguet xx, a speedmaster alaska project and a GV milgauss, and between my father my brother and I we made a pact that when the watches arrived we would see which one each of us liked more, and we didnt give it much tought when they got here, my dad took the breguet, my brother the alaska project and I the GV, It was a little hard for me, love the white dial on the alaska, love the caliber and love the acrylic, but the GV won me over in the end, so i'm still a rolex only guy, but looking for a sport chrono other than an ss daytona, because I plan on getting a WG one in the future. So please post a pic of your favorite sport chrono, with the name and if you have the price, include it as well, I'll start with what I liked so far. I think I'll be Buying next week
Corum Admirals cup 44, the first one in the link. http://www.swissluxury.com/corum-wat...less-steel.htm and this http://www.vialuxe.com/Blogs/wp-cont...evo_impact.jpg does anybody have the price of tha glashute

Wish it was mine... I mean, I do own it, but it was purchased with intentions of reselling. I toyed with the idea of keeping it, but we have twins coming in May - so my collection is on hold. -
That is why I stuck it as far back in the safe as I could - every time I look at it, I fall in love with it just a little more... It is EVERYTHING I would want in a sports chrono - from a beefy case to shock-absorbing Incablock, to an in-house movement... Damn, why do we have to be so friggin fertile!

My favorite sport chrono's. Not sure about current prices.
The vintage Tudor is something you don't see everyday. Another favorite is the traditional black speedy pro. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of this one. |

Thank you. I bought this one in KL one day last year when I was just itching to buy a watch. I tried on both SS Daytona's, a various YG Daytona's and a AP Royal Oak Chrono. I'm very happy with my choice. |

I read somewhere that this measures to 1/8 of a second, and I really like it, i'm getting one for sure, just not crazy about the titanium on the amg, and not crazy about the bracelet on the SS. can someone confirm ti measures to 1/8 of a second

quote from the IWC site where the AMG appears "When measuring factors like this, a sports watch capable of one-eighth-of-a-second precision makes all the sense in the world." and also "quality is measured in one-eighth's of a second", how are the IWC anyways? what do you think of the company and their watches in general.

I think I finally found a Chrono that I love, and IWC is just a top notch company, I just love the AMG ingenieur on a strap.
