: Chuck: Jeff…

: great comparisons; great chronos; nice
: photos!! Great Competitors … In my
: opinion, Omega and Heuer have had the
: longest rivalry in the Swiss Watch industry.
: Sure, Heuer will spar with Breitling with
: their Pilot's, Omega will spar with Rolex
: for Chronometre awards, but in the end they
: are always runnin' at one another...

: if I had to pick one of the eight that you
: have posted, it would be the Carrera 12 . .
: . sure, the Seamaster is rare, and the
: Speedmaster is a classic, and the Audi guys
: love the Audi chronos, and the
: rotating-bezel crowd guys like the Autavia,
: and the Lemania guys like the later Carrera,
: but that Carrera 12, with the decimal
: minutes . . . that one is the favorite.
: ¿8? ¿eight? It's a good thing you're not a
: numbers guy because this is the second time
: this week your countin's been off...

: I posted 10 separate watches: Two each: Audi's,
: Autavia's, Carrera's, Seamasters,
: Speedmasters for 10 total...

: 10 different choices... Probably not a bad
: choice among them, although the Audi's are a
: bit of an acquired taste. Great competitors
: all.

: thanks for the interesting and wide-ranging
: comparisons. also, thanks for suggesting the
: Scan Day theme. if you'll promise eight
: chronos per week, you can keep naming the
: themes for the Scan Days!! This is a
: topic that bears repetition... I picked out
: 10 Chronographs and compared them head to
: head in a certain specific way. I could have
: gone dozens of other routes with this had
: just as much fun and had a completely
: different look. We should consider
: revisiting this topic in the future.

: Jeff Cheers!
