| Post subject: | Yet another post, Transocean Chrono? |
So you may remember me from this: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=41074 As you can tell, I love Chronographs. When I was trying on the Navi, I noticed the Transocean Chrono. It is exquisite. I thought it was going to be far more than it was, and was pleasantly surprised when I found out that with just a little more saving, I would be able to afford that instead. It is far and away my favorite watch right now, and the only thing I considered close to it was a Zenith Chronomaster Open T, but it was used and I'd prefer new. The B01 movement is incredible, and the display back seems like an added bonus. Does anyone have any issues with it? Or have an alternative that blows it away? There aren't too many threads about it here, and the reviews online are all extremely positive, but I'd rather hear from a daily user and actual owner. I only heard from one on a different watch forum. Any and all help would be appreciated. |

I've had mine since December 2011. Runs within COSC, actually +6/day on its side and +5/ day face down. I tested to 69.5 hrs on a full wind. Looks great, right size definitly recommend deployant with strap. Only set back so far is that on my first 24hr chrono test the second hand did not reset to perfect top centre. It's just a hair to the right. You really have to look at it well to notice it. IE meat mortals word not notice it, but Breitling enthusiasts would! Even though it's still under warranty, I'll jus wait until servicing in 5-10 years!! After all it is mechanical and nothing is ever 100% fool proof. I've got LE silver face with brown croc. Tons of stares at work if thats a factor for you! Cheers Brez |
