    I've been on my quest of collecting manual wind chronograph variations, and the next one on the list is "chronograph with date". Initially I had my eyes on Breguet Type XX, but this El Primero showed up a couple of days ago and I just couldn't resist it! It arrived last night and has been on my wrist since then.

    I know, manual wind El Primero, sounds pretty strangeā€¦ To me, a good watch is a good watch, and I absolutely love this one! Thin, comfortable, great dial, unobstructed view of the movement, and that slightly domed crystal!

    On a side note, it's easier to wind compare to speedy :rolleyes:

    These are stunning (on the bracelet) there were only about 2,200 and on the leather 1,900 made so quite rare as well. I think that there about 3,000 for the white dial version. Which would be less than the 50th Apollo 11 speedie as well. Good choice enjoy.
