following tozzle's presentation of his chronomaster xxt open, i literally could not stop drooling everytime i saw those pics. i kept bothering t.o. through pm's with my newbie questions. i did alot of research about the brand/movement, went to a couple ad's and tried them on. in the end i felt the "openness" of the chronomaster is a bit too big for my liking, and i've always favored the more sporty arabics...so i went with the grande class open in white/silver!
watch wears a comfortable 44mm on my wrist (the extra 1mm on the chrono made a diff imo). almost quartz-like accurate, the el primero has fluctuated between 0-2 sec for the whole week depending on the power reserve! right now it's +1sec as of last thursday
. i hope the watch eventually settles down 
been raining cats and dogs so just a couple pics (even worse than usual w/minimal lighting)...it's beautiful in person (more so than the iwc 5001 imo). going off-trail again, thinking of a ulysse nardin or glashutte bracelet next.
