    a challenge would be starting all the chronograph second hands and getting them all synced up too

    and then try to get all the chronograph second hands to sync up with each watch's actual second hand...all at the same time

    and then I'd go all fucking OCD and get the minute and hour registers to all match up along with the second hands

    I'll consider it a future 6-beer challenge

    WTF's lineup has be salivating on my keyboard. Totally all my style.

    Also finally convinced my pops to sell his Bell and Ross BR-02 that he rarely wears and replace it with a Navitimer for daily around the house use. Also think I sent him down the Rainbox Daytona rabbit hole which will be interesting to see how that plays out.

    Yes, beautiful pieces. I really like some of the older models (non-metal bands vs bracelet)

    Goin through some pretty intense life bullshit so I've decided to "treat yo'self" to keep what little sanity I have left.

    Between a Omega Speedmaster



    or Breitling Colt



    Or any other suggestions for an under 3k watch. Thnx

    I've got the silver version of that Speedy Date and it's a fantastic piece....10 years old, never serviced and is dead-nuts accurate

    for new under 3k you're into a Mido chronograph

    if you've got an Oris retailer near by...go have a look and wait until boxing week sales....I got 50% off my big crown Pilot....was over $2k in savings for brand new....although you have to pick from what they have on hand

    Between those two I'd go Speedy for looks and value but disclaimer is that I'm not a fan of Breitlings except for one model and it's not that^^^ one.

    I have a buddy in the watch business who can likely help you track down a nice pre-owned (genuine) timepiece if you're interested. They take in units from customers who are upgrading or they can source specific pieces from US sources if hard to find in Canada.

    As mentioned, Oris and Mido are nice options as well.

    I "think" there's an Oris retailer nearby, may have to stop by and peruse as thats a brand that always pops up for me and then I forget it. As for Mido, can't honestly say I'm familiar with the brand. The Speedy Date to me is just a timeless piece but worried it's too similar to my SS Daytona, but I'd be able to wear it more. Appreciate the long term feedback, looking at used on this one to keep price under radar, was even considering a much earlier vintage Speedy but those are creeping in to territory I don't want to spend ATM.

    I have a SS and Gold Chronomat and just talked my father in to a Navitimer. Honestly trying to steer away from the Colt for fear of being labeled a "Breitling Guy"
