Hi there. I am new to this forum. I already own a Breitling Crosswind Racer and love the watch. I would like to purchase another watch and I have my mind set between two watches and can't decide. Can you help. Which would you prefer. I like the Chronospace Automatic Steel but I also like the Chronospace Ana/Digi Black Steel. They are both about the same price. Which one would you choose ??

NOOOOOO. You not helping, Can't afford both. Like the Black Steel idea. But also LOVE the Automatic !!! Grrrrrrr... Can't decide. I just learned about a Omega Seamaster Broad Arrow that also looks good to me. Slightly cheaper than the Breitlings. I DO love the Breitling brand !!!

i just bought the auto a couple of weeks ago, and love it. i bought it on the ocean racer, but will def. source the mesh bracelet to replace it.
its a nice size at 46, between a navi and a SA, dressier than an avenger, but sportier than a navi. i thinks its a good choice

Two great watches, both with pluses and minuses. Which one do you like? Imagine it on your wrist and think about how you use a watch. It's all about that; neither is going to be an investment toward monetary gains, and you won't be disappointed with either.

The black face Blacksteel hasn't been current for over a year (replaced by the green faced model, which I think is now discontinued itself), and is getting harder to find new (but not impossible, by any means). The green version wasn't my cup of tea.

I went for the black faced Blacksteel, second hand but in 99%+ condition. Saved me well over 50% than if I had bought it new a year and a half ago (I was tempted; I wanted a bigger blacker version of my B1). I really love this watch. It's by far the most accurate and by far the easiest to tell the time, of any watch I've owned. Super legible! If there's any light, the super shiny chrome (?) outline of the hands and hour markers lets you see the time instantly; if there's no light (or almost no light), the lume shines away, even 8 hours later.

And after a month, it's almost a quarter second fast.

Well I guess. In the end I followed my heart. I ordered my Chronospace Automatic from my AD yesterday. I love the idea of Automatic. I ordered it with a black face and Brushed Steel mesh bracelet. Can't wait !!
