My €€ are leaning towards a Chrono from the 50s. 😉 I wear my original one - tomorrow eg when shooting with my bow, US-made from 1968!
Man, I need to get back into archery. Haven't shot much at all since our kid was born, but he just turned 8, and he can almost follow rules well enough to not be terrifyingly dangerous on the range ...

Picked up the blue/grey over the weekend with a 20% discount. Love the old skool 80's alarm, just the same as my H558 & H556! Picked the blue as it's always been the one I've associated with astronauts but the others look great too.

I've seen them all. I don't know which one to buy.

By the way, I would have preferred a made in Japan.

As I said before:

""The yellow would be my favourite - the red one - in original- I have already ;-) ""

I'm very happy with it. It's a very faithful reproduction. Even the bracelet pins were easy to work with - got it resized in 30 seconds. They are usually they are total pain.

My only complaint is that the alarm is a little quiet. Loud enough for a daily reminder, but I suspect I might sleep through it.

Ended up getting it for about $350 including shipping from Jomashop.

Looks great, nice pickup, I was tempted by the yellow! Just added this '82 original to my small space collection. 😀
