I'm debating between a Bulova Lunar Pilot and a Timex Waterbury Fly Back Chronograph, so I'm wondering what you all think about the relative merits and flaws of either, and if there other affordable chronos I should be thinking of.

If it helps, I don't want a leather strap, I do want a tachymeter scale and I want a totalizer of 60 minutes or preferably more.

Thanks for any ideas or reasons for preferring the Bulova or Timex.

Cross-posting this from the 24-hour watch forum, where it languished. (I hope that's OK.)

Other than the obvious differences in how they look, are there any significant differences between the Glycine Airman so-called Vintage (GL0376 and similar) and the Glycine Airman Purist Contemporary (GL0494 and the like)? If there’s anyone who has experience with handling or wearing both, I’d love to hear your impressions. Thanks!
