I don’t see them many. Probably because developing your own chronograph movement is hard and expensive and buying off the shelve one makes the watch pretty big and thick so it’s not easy to sell. But i do love a good proportion chronograph from a smaller brand, it makes it a bit more special.

Can we bring them out in this thread since i have trouble finding those gems?

Stowa makes them, but it’s big and thick at 41mm, 14,7mm thick and 50,2mm lug to lug.

Chronograph from a microbrand with a price tag between 2.5k and 8k.

I noticed I’m missing a watch for weekend or mid week activities. Nothing special, family hiking day, dog walking, cycling… I like to wear a watch and mostly don’t care for smart watch functions. I use Seiko Astron and it’s fine but it’s titanium and i would prefer silicon band.

So I can go smart watch way and buy Samsung smart watch, Garmin smart watch or go WIS way and buy something cool and sporty, maybe G Shock or something. I don’t want a big watch.

Any cool ideas?

I did my share of bashing Rolex sales model. I’ve put myself on the list for Yachtmaster (Rhodium dial) 2 years ago at two ADs and got no call.
I’m not sure any more if i would still like to buy this watch if i do get this call. I mean, i still like it a lot, but if i would really love it, i could go and buy it grey for basically the same price that is in a boutique. And i didn’t go yet. Did you also cool down after years of waiting for a watch?

I did turned down another watch months ago…

Passing up opportunities to buy a watch?

I own the “Pepsi” version on a jubilee bracelet. The one basically. I don’t have it for a long time but it’s my every day watch right now since i got it. It’s got some color but it’s subdued, not sticking out at all. It’s so comfortable and easy to wear that i simply forget i wear it and don’t even take a glance on it like i did on other watches. It slips under a sleeve without a problem. No hair pulling, great size. It’s basically perfect. So perfect that you forget you wear a watch. So…

Rolex GMT is such a boring watch

Post your favourite Chronographs with Moonphase function that are not crazy big or thick. I’m talking 42mm or less in case size and less than 14mm thick.
My personal favourite is probably Breitling Datora but it’s 15.3mm thick at 42mm case (50mm lug to lug) so it’s a bit of a brick.
