hackR Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I decided to solicit feedback/comments on these 3 classic chronos...As i wanted a dialog, i decided against a simple poll... These three are on my "near-term short-list" of purchases...i may, in time (pun intended), buy them all... As a comment, i like this style watch...i have a VC 1755 Jubile (needing service, but gorgeous, nonetheless) and a Lange 1 in the air...i find that these watches can be worn for formal, work and play...sporty, classy, elegant...textured and refined... Please feel free to comment on these with preferences/etc and also to suggest any others that fit this "category"... 1. A.Lange & Sohne: Flyback Chronograph 2. Breguet: Classique Chronograph #884 3. Vacheron Constantin: Malte Chronographe All these watches are advertised as "lemania" movement with working chronos...the Lange is 42mm and the Breguet and VC are 40mm...sapphire crstals front and back...and all cost less than $250usd...i am using Ruby's pix - but all these are available from most of the dealers... ahhhh...classic chronos, NFL playoffs, Amstel...

Toadtorrent Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 There's a VC Malte Chrono with Lemania that is beautiful as well. I like the Breguet the best in this lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobs1971 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 the 2nd patek or the breguette talk most. I fully agree All are very nice and classy dress watches, but I would stay away from the Lange. The first thing a watch lover would ask for is seeing the back of the Lange....

Pylon Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) I fully agree All are very nice and classy dress watches, but I would stay away from the Lange. The first thing a watch lover would ask for is seeing the back of the Lange.... Forget the caseback, there unfortunately aren't any Lange reps out there which look like a gen Lange even from the front. The rep Lange Chronos for example have the complications in the wrong places (at the 3 and 9 instead of 2 and 8, etc.), mostly because the complex custom movements A.

mjmurphy926 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 adding three more Patek classic chronos... I know very little about Pateks, and I have no idea how accurate it is, but I really like that first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I almost pulled the trigger on the Breguet a while ago. I would definitely choose the Breguet. Very nice and rare watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg1459 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 i've bought the malte chrono for a friend and i must it really looks and feels like a 10k watch in real (except strap) i think also its the most accurate compared to other 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasGirgenti Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I love the classical bicompax of PP VC ecc.. But this reps are not good, for me. As copy they are incorrect, but the great defect is the quality The gens are very very beautiful, perfect dials, hig quality hands ecc... A correct rep is not possible for $ 250,00. Is necessary a super rep, as ultimate Hublot. But the reps - people prefer sport watches and a PP super rep is a phantom... PS I think that a MBK PP Worldtime whit a good plating ( 20 mcn) is the best rep of the world, but dont exist :cc_hang: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
