Is the Daytona your favourite of these 4 chronos?

Yes Daytona it is. But then again compared to those hideous Breitlings even a Timex looks good...

ABSOLUTEY NO NEED FOR THIS!!!

Those Breitlings are absolutely stunning and top top quality and to be honest as equally as good as my Daytona.

The RRP is £7190 on each of those and £9100 on the Daytona.

If Breitling aren't for you please respect others opinions and feelings and simply decline to comment if you're going to be down right nasty.

Yes for Daytona. But the Omega Speedmaster, not in the collection, is not far behind for less money.

To be honest aesthetically I like the Tag Heuer the best. Probably the best bang for buck as well.

Probably - all around better one for me. The Tag doesn't appeal to me aesthetically, and the Breitlings are bigger than I care for lately (but I do like them otherwise)

No of the four pictured I prefer the white faced Brietling and it has a date on it.

Tag isn't my flavor ...
The Breitlings are really nice and I do like Breitling...
Although top choice would be Daytona C in this scenario...

I like those two Breitlings - the black dial in particular.

I agree. Breitling is chronograph (Breitling invented the modern chronograph in 1915). The black is my ideal 44mm size, with a date and high WR. Hard to beat that combo.

You are 100% out of order. You've slagged off my watches and now you are saying I am also classless 😳😳....just NO NEED!!!

Daytona by a distance, I have a couple of friends who prefer the Breitling and although they are obviously quality pieces they are just not for me. I wasn't actually a fan of the Daytona until the ceramic bezel. A great collection BTW

The way one chooses to disagree makes all the difference.

They are all great and historical watches. There is no bad choice for a WIS.

Yes, Daytona is my choice of those pictured - like the heritage of the Breitling but not their designs so much.

I'd pick the D500, but I've owned 2 Breitling chronos, very good watches and the pilot bracelet was probably as nice if not nicer than the oyster when sans glidelock.

Nothing wrong with Breitling or Heuer, but I much prefer the Daytona out of those. Also, Breitlings look better on strap IMO as I don't like that bracelet design. YMMV.

The Daytona by a mile! The Breitlings are far too cluttered looking and the Tag, well it's a Tag.
