321 vs 3861

Regardless, I feel qualified to give you my opinion as I went through this same conundrum last summer.

I always wanted to add a chronograph to my modest collection, but I never took to the Daytona. The Speedmaster seemed like a logical choice so I tried the 1861, and the 3861 both in hesalite and Sapphire. Not to disparage, they are great references but they just didn't float my boat for some reason.

After much research I decided to go whole hog, and pony up for the 321. The history, the finishing (@travelller can articulate vastly better than I ).

I won't lie, not being able to try one on or see one in the flesh was disconcerting to say the least but I'm certainly glad I decided to pull the trigger.

As a friend of mine likes to say, everyone deserves to have 'one good thing' and the 321 feels just like that. It's a very special watch to me.
