Choronographes (Next)

[asad]

Hi

I needed an opinion in getting my "NEXT"

Earlier this week I got my very modified IWC 3717 Pilot, Which blew me away, As the quality of this watch is out standing and it sits next to my Gens; quality wise.

It has hindered a chip on my Panerai obsession due to the reason, As living in Arizona, its already summer here, and during summer its hard to wear a big watch with a leather strap as it soaks up all the sweat.
(Panerai rubber strap gives me an itch so that wont work and there bracelet pulls my hair. Either i am just rebelling against Panerai's or i might just be sick of them). Sorry none of my PAM's are available for sale, so please don't P.M me!)

So i am currently looking for a, as good or better quality chronograph to my IWC 3717!

I have looked at the new IWC Aquatimer Chrono code name (SLEVIN), as it looks to be similar product and would make a good addition next to my 3717.

Also looked at the AP ROO, Dewitt Academia, Graham Chronofighter, Hublot Big Bang. But would like something smaller like 42mm.

Any more high quality suggestions? would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Asad

Omega Seamaster Pro Chronograph... This one is very good built with good lume on hands. I would highly recommend it for the price (less than 200USD shipped from major dealers here).

Or... Another watch worth considering. It's my nomination for Best Rep Out of Box 2007:

Chopard Mille Miglia Chrono GMT. Best work on the dial, decent lume, great readability and looks stunning on the wrist.

I UNDERSTAND what you are saying about the rubber strap... but TRUST ME!! The Porsche Design rubber strap is not like a tight hugging uncomfortable strap.. .you cut it to a length that you like... and you really should consider it!

But... sticking with your request I could not recommend the Tag Aquaracer more. It is the most comfortable watch I own and I LOVE it.
It is one of the nicest replicas made and is extremely close to the gen. The newer Baume & Mercier is member pix's picture. You can find his review on RWC here: http://replica-watch.cc/forum/index.php ... 35.new#new

take a look at the montblanc timewalkers

Be careful of this Timewalker... Dial looks very big. Don't let the size alone fools you... It wears big. I have a GMT version, rarely worn... looks big on my wrist.

:lol: That's a good one, tnik. But really... The Timewalkers looks big on the wrist. It has dial size bigger than Panerai.

Thanks, though i have had alot of Tags and the aquaracer chrono is a bit to heavy for my every day casual wear.

take a look at the montblanc timewalkers

Thanks, I am sorry to be so picky, But I don't like Montblanc as a manufacturer in watches.

Thanks for the information, I don't have a very big wrist to support a big watch.

timewalkers carreras, navis

Thanks, I have had a gen Carrera, so that wont be interesting but the navis is a great suggestion.
