Space for 2 chronos in 3 piece collection?

I'm on the waiting list for the white Daytona C but have come across these two speedies that have caught my attention! My only watch currently is an SD4k so near term it would be a 3 piece collection. Thoughts on the C2998 limited edition?

Bonus GS snowflake shot as i am in tokyo and had to stop by the seiko boutqiue!

I think a Sea Dweller, Daytona and Speedmaster would be a pretty epic trio!

Personally I'd get a traditional Speedmaster though and not the LE version.

In a 3 piece collection, i would prefer 2 divers and 1 Chrono instead of 2 chronos. Purely because divers tend to be more durable and everyday watch.

My math skills are a bit off as you mentioned you want the 3 piece collection... However, Sd4k + traditional speedy + GS + Daytona = Perfection! I also love the 2998. You can go wrong with any of your options!

I did this to my ck2998. I think a speedie and Daytona make a great pair.

Love the dial of the 2998 but it does seem like it has a rather large/wide dial for the bracelet.

In my opinion a 3 Watch collection, I would pick Speedy Professional, Sub and GMT.

SD4K, White Daytona C and Speedy Pro Classic would be great lineup!

I sold my GS Snowflake to purchase my CK2998. My second chronograph watch will be the white Daytona white C. The BLNR and Tudor BB help complete my Favs.

More love for the CK2998....maybe consider the black Daytona to give you one light and one dark chrono if your worried about 2 lighter faces...as for 2 chronos, no problem!!
