Additional thoughts

1 word before I get into details, I have not been able to put the watches together and judge them side by side, otherwise, I would be able to make a decision on the spot.

Good to hear everyone's opinion! Clearly I would always prefer the Chrono complication to a GMT one from a technical viewpoint, but the GMT's clean looks do it for me, so looks' wise, relatively easy. If only one could see the mechanism...

On the other hand actually using the chrono does appeal to me: I am of Greek origin and spend quite some time in "informal" settings on and around the sea and Greek islands (it sounds only slightly better than in reality, I am there for work as well!).

I also need to choose the bracelet, it will have to be caoutchouc simply because I have a small wrist and the whole watch would look out of proportions with it. I have not seen the "normal" one, just the titanium reinforced one. Is it much different, there is 10% additional amount for the titanium-based one.

Sincerely,

JAG

I was in the same boat as you just a couple of months ago. My very first post here in this forum was addressing the very same question. I tried them both on a few times at different occasions (at different ADs) and went with the one that felt the best on ...
