Speedy - but I love that some people feel the need to bash Breitling without any prompting.

I rarely get comments on the watch on my wrist. Yesterday I had the Daytona on and two diffferent folks commented saying what a beautiful classic the white face 116520 is. I. I have prefer it to a Speedy. Patek and AP are great but at a. I have greater cost.

The Daytona is the king of the chronographs, for sure.

How many companies even make a chronograph with an in-house movement?

To be king, I think you at least need a flyback movement.
