I agree that the Aqua Terra chrono is a gorgeous watch. Both it and the Broad Arrow have the Piguet column wheel chrono movement (which hopefully by now has had all of the "bugs" worked out of it).

I like the bracelet on the Broad Arrow a bit more because of the brushed/polished contrast, but I'm not fond of the tachymeter around the dial. The Broad Arrow also costs $800 more, ad I'm not sure what I'm getting for that extra $800 that I'm not getting in the AT chrono. I need to find a local dealer that has both in stock so I can look at them side by side. So far the AT chronos have been in short supply down here in Orlando.
