How about the cheaper IWC and a plain Luminor Base or similar.. two for one..

The cheaper IWC, I assume you mean without the split minute, just looks that little bit too small for my liking - the reason for likeing the split minute one is just that its that little bit chunkier

They do it in a black and white, if the yellow is an issue for some on that one?

Do they? I know my catalogue is out of date, but they only show the split-minute in yellow on their website.

I think the chrono-automatic with yellow is titanium and the one with grey/white is stainless steel, but I could be wrong.

Ah very true... I think i just assumed as they did the smaller one in yellow or black, they would do the same on the larger one

The IWC is much smaller than the Panerai's if that matters (ie if you have popeye arms )

It's deceptive, they're both 44mm. Having previously only seen it in pictures, when I tried the Aquatimer chrono on I was suprised how big it was compared to my PAM 0111, and the chrono is smaller than the split-minute.

Ah, apologies. I thought the split minute was thicker rather than 'bigger'. How about an IWC Portuguese? Not as sporty but pretty timeless (in terms of looks, not functionality ) - www.blitzwatches.co.uk/productdetail.asp?productid=1518

Would need to be a metal strap - leather ones always go a bit minging!

Very nice, much more class than the others if I may say so. Particularly like the fact that the day/date wheels are white on black. For some reason I absolutely cannot fathom many black faced watches have blavbk on white day/date dials.

Favourite feature is th rotating bezel being under the glass..

Gets delived in the next few days, so not long to go

Delivered on monday - very happy with the choice indeed! Cheers guys
