I stopped wearing my Chronomat 39mm Bullet/UTC because I find it too small!
With the addition of the SA, the BS AS, the newer Chronomat and the Seawolf to my collection,
I totally lost interest in this once amazing watch; a watch I used to wear quite often.
Is the size of the newer Chronomat more important than the UTC/bullet combination of the older and smaller Chronomat?
I vote for the newer Chronomat.....

Well I went with the older one. I love the combination of a UTC and the Rouleaux (bullet) bracelet. I would prefer it if it had a non baton dial, and I do prefer the relatively larger subs of the newer version, but for me the UTC and bracelet is the clincher.

The guy at the bar who is calling you outside.
The size of the tree about to fall on your house.
The scratch on the crystal.
The dot on the x-ray.
The person sitting next to you in an airplane.
The pothole you are about to drive into.

Need more? :nana:

I voted for the newer one. Sure the UTC is very nice, but I like the pilot bracelet much better than the roleaux bracelet. That, and the overall appearance you get with the TT and the larger size.

Not when your waistline measures 38" (post Christmas food 'n' drink blitz) and all of your pants are 36!

I'm with the big one too
