Beautiful watch and good price for a chrono...but i have set my mind on a Ball that i missed last time.
So i will wait paciently to the Ball arrival!!!
If I were to prioritize a short list of all the watches I'd be willing to dump a grand on at this point, I'd have to confess that thing above wouldn't make the cut.
On the other hand, this one definitely would!
RayFI'm surprised that Alpina doesn't show up here. They make high quality watches at reasonable prices. It's not a common brand in the US, which I think is a plus. I think of them as a prudent man's IWC. I have a vintage Hamilton from the 1960s my dad gave me in HS. This was of course long before they were part of Swatch and still manufacturing in the US. My dad liked the brand from his army days in WWII.
mcloseMy father was a Hamilton fan too, back then they just another American watch company, good, but not considered fancy. I agree with you about Alpina, and what about Certina as well? So many brands, so many watches--it's a lot for the average Joe to keep up with!
BoorishBarrister6 months ago they were on ebay new for $650. They took these pictures form those listings.

Very small, thin chronograph. Just wish they stuck with day and date and went with a sapphire or mineral caseback since it’s only 50m water resistant. I’ve seen these around on various sites, and this is a decent price.
