IWC chronograph (movement 89365) problem

I have a LE IWC chronograph with the 89365 movement. I’ve had it for about two years, with no problems.

I’m lucky enough to own all of the bottom row, but if money was no object I’d only swap one of them for the one above – which one?

Looking for direct experiences more than general opinions on this watch

This watch was certainly inspired by the Seiko Tuna and yet it is different .
