POO on chronographs!

I just strapped on my new "current" America's Cup and I'm wondering why anyone would want one of the new chronographs, or any chronograph for that matter, in the first place....all those registers!

OR, why anyone would want a clunky metal bracelet when they can have a nice, subdued black strap which promotes the beauty of the watch head.

"These opinions are expressly those of the author and shouldn't be construed as an attack on anyone who happens to own/like/desire a chronograph or clunky old bracelet".

:-)

Now, if I can just get my hands on one of those black, sharkskin straps/fancy deployment clasp that some guy on ebay was advertising....

By the way, the clasp on my watch IS stamped "Swiss", along with a couple of other stamps. I'm passing that along with respect to a prior post.
