Chrono: like them a lot and choosing which one to wear is hard

[Bernard]

Going out for dinner with my wife, now I'll have to decide upon the watch.
Recently, I have been more into chronographs, so I decided to wear one, but not sure which.
Choices, choices...

1965 Speedmaster Ed White 105.003


1942 Universal Geneve Tricompax


Baume & Mercier Transpacific chrono (Lemania)


1988 Ebel "Don Johnson" Wave bracelet El Primero


Universal Geneve Tricompax sport

Die Qual der Wahl :)

Lovely options you're having. Btw, what's the strap on your Speedy? Looks gorgeous!

Thanks, it is a shell cordovan 19 mm by Rios.
I got it from horlogebandenspecialist (Dutch seller, just google the name!).

Great Chrono collection and very cool UG!

I have worn it for days in a row.
Honestly, the Speedy isn't the best chrono there is: limited WR, low speed (18.000 bph), handwound, but it is a piece of work!

Great Chrono collection and very cool UG!

Thanks, but which UG do you mean?

[Neil.C]

That vintage UG is a thing of beauty Bernard.

Thanks Neil, one is 72 years old, the other approx. 40 years, both not exactly new ;-)

I have been offered another quite rare UG (non chrono).
Currently thinking about it...

That strap looks phantastic. Just been on the durch site, the three Rios Cordovan straps looks all a bit different from your pic? Is this Chicago, New York or Springfield?

I would go with the 1942 Universal Geneve Tricompax, which is just pure class.

It's a New York, but they all differ a little bit, due to the differences in the base material. I'll try to upload another picture of the band before leaving for dinner!

[Glenn-BE]

I would take the Speedy! Great piece!

Best! Glenn

BTW: veel plezier, geniet en laat het smaken! :)

Tri compax wins this by a mile and a half. Gorgeous.

I do like Speedmasters, but that Universal is very attractive.
