If you can find them LNIB and don't mind a "used" watch, you can step up beyond all 800k+ brands and get a real collector's brand watch. Some worthwhile Chronos are:

VC Overseas Chrono with Maltese Cross Bracelet

Breguet Transatlantic

Girard Perregaux Ferrari Chrono

My top 3 choices for everyday use if I had to choose today:

Rolex Sub (black/black)
Omega Seamaster (blue/blue)
Tag Aquaracer 500M (black/black)

In your mind maybe. Breitling is a "look at me" watch in my mind, but you would never hear me say that to someone who owns one. They are just way too "busy" for my taste. But that is the thing about watches. They are a personal piece, and as such, it makes no sense to degrade or denigrate what someone chooses to wear.

To the original poster...the way to decide is to go put all three of them on your wrist. One of them will sing to you. That is the one you buy. If none of those babies sing to you, I guarantee you there is another one out there that will. The hell with everybody else's opinion.

Well put.
To me, as with cars, it doesn't matter what you end up with as ultimately, you will always see another one you like more by way of a newer model.

Rolex,

You know you have arrived when you can afford a Rolex. Is it the best watch out there? No, but I think it has the biggest name recognition as a status symbol.

Tiger use to be with Tudor/Rolex and is now with TAG.

Most people don't know that TAG is an acronym.

I've never really been into the Rolex scene, but I love my Breitling and wear it daily. Looking to get a IWC Portuguese Chrono soon though.
