If you only could own one watch - which would it be? Three watches to choose from; all 43 mm, chronographs with in-house B01. |

I voted for the TOC. For me, the Top Time is just an absolutely classic chronograph, and the TOC channels that model beautifully. |

Depends on which TOC we're talking about. If it's the original limited edition version with the panda dial then I'd vote for that everytime, but if it's the all black dial version of the TOC, then I'd vote for the Navi. |

Probably the Navitimer 01. I owned the TOC before, and it didn’t sing to me after a while. In fact, I had thought about replacing it with a black-dialled Grand Premier, but my tastes have swung away from Valjoux-layout dials to Compax-layout dials...so, although the Navi 01 is not my favourite Navitimer, that leads me back to it out of the three you have suggested.

The Navi 01 gets my vote but only slightly ahead of the Transocean. Driver8 wrote: Depends on which TOC we're talking about.

Don't forget the newer version of the TOC with the panda dial with the red accents. I always forget about this model. |

The 8 looks like a fossil watch. Short of the Breitling logo it has no distinguishing look to differentiate it as a Breitling. |

I voted for the Navi as I think the TOC is too similar to my Speedmaster. I would choose the 8 as my second choice but only after see it in the flesh which I have not. Navi for me any way. Frank. |

The Grand Premier is one of the best secret favourites, wonderful dials, ideal 40 mm case, made only for one year (1999). 7750 dial layout does even have advantages too, e. g. the "normal" date font direction together with 12 H collector. I've collected both dial versions and enjoy them despite wearing them rarely. |

 After owning both, I will go with my Transocean first.. You can't beat a 1461 with mesh. Amazing watch. |

To this day, that is still a complaint about many other watch brands. |
