TOC for me................, but only because I'm waiting on a slightly larger in-house Navi, otherwise I'd have gone with the Navi 01.

Easy one for me- my favorite and the only one that isn't too long lug end to lug end.

Navi, TOC comes close, Chronomat should be honoured to be in the same conversation.

I voted Navi. Although I'm not actually a huge Navi fan, I recognize that the 01 is perfectly done, and the one current 01-based model not to have some fatal flaw. The TOC is a great watch, but for me it's kneecapped by the long lugs, lack of proper bracelet, and awkward bracelet/case transition, such that the mesh (or strap) looks awkwardly stuck in there as an afterthought. And of course, the problems with the Chronomat have been flogged to death in these parts.

Pretty much a toss up for me between the Navi and the TOC. The Chronomat is left on the starting blocks; in fact back in the sheds; in fact it failed the drugs test (at least the designer did).

Maybe Breitling should introduce the Chronomat 44 Ben Johnson LE. It gains 9.79 seconds a minute, while its manual proclaims it is the best chronograph on the planet - end of discussion.

44 for me, just more my style. (casual-sporty) Not that the others can't be that too, just a matter of how each watch sings to ya.
