: Professional

: Chronograph. The purchase would be a new watch

: Thanking you in advance and kindest regards,

I am a fan of the Speedmaster - various models. I am, like all of you, a watch fan. I have two Tag Heuers (one quartz, one chronometer), a Cartier, Datejust G&S Rolex, old Hamilton and Movado and various others...and now, my new watch...a longtime favorite, a Speedmaster Automatic Date! I love the look and history of the Pro, but have a small wrist. Been checking the time against Time.Gov...and it has been consistently accurate since I got it on Christmas Eve. Either way, best wishes with your purhase, but I'd go with the Speedy...especially considering the others in your collection.
