With you all the way, Brandon I wondered what was the point of a chrono on a dive watch. A GMT complication I can understand (and one I would go for if there was one with a ceramic bezel) but not a chrono. I did ask the question in the boutique and the chrono cannot be operated under water so it seems a little pointless unless it's dual purpose piece whereby you go diving in the morning and head off to a racetrack in the afternoon.

I very much prefer a date too; I do struggle a little when it's my Daytona's turn in the rotation.
