hi all,

need to the site. i am looking to pick up a new watch. i currently have a breitling colt ocean automatic with a stainless steel braclet and white face. i also have a black tag carrerra automatic as well.

i am looking to spend between 2-3k and would like to get a watch in the 40-43MM face size, automatic, chronograph if possible in a stainless steel braclet with a white face.

i have looked at breitlings but i do not think one that is different enough from my existing one would be in my price range. any suggestions on another watch you might recommend? i havent looked for a watch in some time and was introduced to Oris. Anyone have any experience with them?

I am open to suggestions. Thanks for your help.

Jay

Omega seamaster chronograph

Omega seamaster chronograph - JB series

they are of execellent quality, brilliant look, verstail functionality and within the price range

not with a white dial but still lovely watches

Oris is fantastic value for money. You may not find quite what you are looking for, but you'll get a great watch from them.

Don't have personal knowledge of Oris but they look good for the money. Search the forum as I seem to recall a few people here have commented on them.

2-3k what? £, US$, €, Yen? I'm assuming US$, please correct me if I'm wrong. Lot's of great watches in this price range. Probably won't quite run to a Speedy Pro but here's a few alternative ideas for you, mostly based on an ETA 7750 movement.

Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon

Fortis B-42 Flieger (crap pic but you get the idea of the design from it)

Hamilton H32616153 Jazzmaster

Longines HydroConquest

Sinn 903 (my favourite!)

Have fun choosing!

I've been looking at picking up a Capeland S from Baume & Mercier. I think it hits on all of your points:

41mm
White Dial
Chrono
Strap or bracelet
