Daytona, gets my vote, for me personally its a grail Chronograph.
I've tried and failed to find a reason to part with this Zenith, but I think it may be something that I can actually hold on to.
Why I thought about parting with it is anyone's guess, it's got the El Primero movement, near perfect dimensions making very comfortable to wear, I'm not likely to see anyone else with one and it looks great on the strap or bracelet.
What Chronograph get's your vote and why?

Here are a few. Current -
And past -
And a couple I'd like in the collection -
Well, this one does it for me...
The watch is mine, but the wrist is someone else's...
...and then there's this one, of course...

Here you go, these are my two that do it for me. Both recent acquisitions.
Step-dial Speedy.
Tudor 79280, silver dial.
Have owned a Speedy Moon in my time, and I know it's almost heresy, but engineering, build, durability and quality wise this blows it away...
My favorite chronograph (right now) The Linde Werdelin SpidoSpeed.
POC 9300 for me. Fantastic automatic movement (possibly the best out there right now), dead easy to the read time or chronograph, independent hour hand so time zone changes don't stop the watch, 600m water resist with pushers that work underwater, modern stylish looks - the list goes on.
The Ti version is the best of the range, and my favourite watch of all time...
This one every time for me

- It's got the El Primero movement,
- Near perfect dimensions - 40-42mm is the sweet spot for me
- Very comfortable to wear,
- I'm not likely to see anyone else with one
- It looks great on the strap or bracelet.
Hang on...

A rugged, accurate chronograph which is actually easy to use and not a puzzle with lots of error margin to read out, complete with b&p, stand et all:
As long as you stay away from me too we will can all feel exclusive - I have only ever seen one Rainbow in the wild and that was in Italy.
I snagged this for a little bit o' nothin', mostly because it's a lesser known forum non-favorite. But the fit and finish is superb and with a 7750 how could I go wrong?
As well as my Rainbow Fly Back which is very colourful I also have this which is devoid of all colour so sort of the opposite.
A pink gold Longines 30CH Flyback? Well it works for me!
An old favourite:
My dressy chronograph?!
Calibre 11 but shocking iPhone pic:
Rarely-worn quartz (Seiko VD57) chrono that will be part of my collection consolidation:
From my modest collection, two chronos stand out for me, the Omega was a 50th birthday pressie, rare and colourful and just large enough for me not to have to squint at the dial....

and my first significant watch purchase, the Tag Heuer Monza 36cal which I bought with some of the gratuity when I left the RAF. Bit small by todays standards.....but I just like the symmetry and the case shape is superb.

It's large but stealthy. The way the light reflects on the dial is great but difficult to capture.

Hard not to like, imo.
I'm surprised I don't have more really...
I really like that Bulova (Rather Heuer Monaco though!)

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
This one - because of the movement & legibility.
Strela on one of Eddie's straps.

Nick
an old one:
and a new to me one (acquired face to face from a TZ'er last night !):
Much as I love my U-Boat above, this is my all time favourite:
Something a bit special, IMHO.
A
I've got quite a few 3133s but these are my favourites:
Does this count as a chronograph? I hope so, because it's a lovely watch ...
Here's my 2.
Il play...
Rolex daytona
Paul picot rattrapante...eye watering rrp

Nice collections presented so far!
Although 4 of mine have been sold recently, I still have a few...
Cheers!
Nice modern retro.
I rarely (if ever) use the functionality of a chronograph, but pretty much every watch I have ever bought has been one!
Handsome watch.Il play...

Love them! And I did think about your Zenith but as you can see from below I already own an El Primero
Here goes.
Two IWCs (the Pilot is now on a Kevlar strap and the Portuguese on a brown alligator strap):
Two Issued Seikos:
An Ed White:
And my grail chrono (and a few other things!):
I'm quite partial to a chronograph, crappy wrist shots coming up!
I like the legibility of my Fortis B42. Easier to read quickly than my Speedy Pro.
Try as I mightn't I cant see anything wrong with this.
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."
'Populism, the last refuge of a Tory scoundrel'.
From a couple of group shots, my favourite is probably my first Heuer, the older Monza:
That is very nice indeed - I think you did the right thing! For me a O&W 7750 Mirage......thank you Sr Wajs - excuse the sticky little fingers....good band in the day....gawd I feel old!I snagged this for a little bit o' nothin', mostly because it's a lesser known forum non-favorite. But the fit and finish is superb and with a 7750 how could I go wrong?
