I’m being drawn towards one of these, nice simple design, anybody have any experience?

Had the chrono- was a thick set thing, but strangely comfortable. Never seen another and regret selling it.

I wasn’t sure about the Chrono, the buttons seem to protrude a long way?

Doesn’t feel as bad as it looks - but it’s a good 6-8 years since I sold it.



It’s a secondary module I seem to recall. The pushers sit higher than the crown.

I have owned both versions, the date version for 17 yrs before selling it. A lovely watch with fantastic legibility but just too small for me at 36mm.

The Chrono version I only owned for a short period, I could not ignore the Chrono module piggybacked onto a standard movement that led to the pushers and crown not being aligned. It just looked naff to me.

Dubois-Depraz addendum chronograph module on the chrono. It is as ungainly as every other iteration. The new Dynamic is pretty small in diameter and quirky in appearance.

They sold for relative pennies ten years ago. I nearly bought one for work.

Bought mine brand new skiiing in Italy in 1999. A great watch for the price, comfortable on the wrist a nice size 38mm from memory.

I love the face and was looking for one when I found there was also a chrono. I like chronos, so bought that.
It's a nice size, subtle but a bit too tall and easy to catch on something and not having a bezel, easier to damage.

For the price you can find them at, I think they're a bargain, buy one.

Did you end up buying one?

Asking because I just bought a Dynamic Chronograph which I'm picking up tomorrow. (christmas present to myself wink)

I used to have a Speedmaster reduced before, which I liked the size of very much, but it wasn't a "real Speedmaster".
With it's quirky dial, the Dynamic has a personality of it's own and I'm very much looking forward wearing this beauty!

Also compared with other stuff, there are very good deals to be made...
