Best working chronograph available

[docdoc]

Hello,

I wonder what would you suggest as a nice working chronograph. I saw the Oris Carlos Coste Limited Edition from oris which looks really nice but it also looks very thick ! Can you even put your arm in the air whith that kind of watch on your wrist?

So I would definetely like to have some buying suggestions from other members.

thanks

If you want a large diver type watch there are several good examples such as:

Breitling Superocean Heritage

Panerai PAM 187

Graham Diver

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore

And many others :-)

Of course the Breitling is not a Chrono :-)

Oris is GEN! Are you thinking of getting a GEN? There's hundreds of them! It all depends on your taste and your budget! Now if you're talking about reps and plan to use it for timing and such, I won't trust any of them! Most of the REP chrono

watches are just showpiece.......not unless if it has a SWISS 7750 and its derivatives! Some members will probably dis-agree, but it's just my 2 cents! That's how I treat mine and I have several! I have a GEN Breitling, TAG, and Casio for real Chrono use!

I was thinking more rep than gen

I use my speedmaster for timing things at work, never had a drama.
