I need some help. I can only afford one Breitling. I currently have a Crosswind and a Chronospace Ana/Digi. I like both very much and can't decide which one to sell. Please give me some advice. See pics attached.

I'd keep the Crosswind. Every. Single. Time. It'll stand the test of time far better than the Chronospace. Correctly maintained the Crosswind will easily outlast you (and probably your grand-children's children too). The Chronospace won't. |

Keep the Crosswind, it's a mechanical watch, a perfect one! |

Wow. Thanks. I have a emotional connection to the Crosswind. I like mechanical watches. Saying that I've just come back from lots of travel and enjoyed the Chronospace with all the different time zones, count down timers, night lights and alarms. I love everything about the Crosswind but the dial size. It's a little on the small side for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Crosswind, no contest at all. I would go and buy an atomic solar G Shock if you are still looking for time zones, chrono, timer, and a light. Your call, but I am going to assume most here will vote for the automatic over quartz any day! |

What's also Interesting is I also have some opinions from people (girls) in the fashion industry and they like the Bigger watch (Chronospace). If you ignore everything and include more modern looks only. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I must say. The fashion industry girls don't know watches that well. They would purely judge on looks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

crosswind. Or could you sell both and get a crosswind special? |

I would sell both and get a newer chronomat 44 or chronomat Evo. But that's just me. |

Crosswind for sure. Just a way more classic piece. |

Easy choice, I'd keep the Crosswind. |

This question doesn't even need asking. If "girls in the fashion industry" say keep the Chronospace then Crosswind is the obvious choice to keep! |
