Sporty chronographs?
Discussion
Normally I'm a dive watch type of person and my collection has always revolved around that sort of style. But more recently I've seen a few colourful chronographs catch my eye.
I normally steer away from them as generally (A few exceptions) they look 'cheap' with the classic triple dial faces and various iterations of the movements across fashion watches and mid-range brands.
So.. having normally stayed away.. these two have recently caught my interest and thought I'd open it up for alternatives.
Up first - the Bell and Ross V2-94 Racing Bird:

And the Tudor Heritage Chrono:

As you can see, they are not a million miles away from each other and I clearly have something for Blue, White and Orange!
Price wise they are pretty much identical, although the B&R is limited edition.. so maybe supply is an issue.
Anyway.. thoughts? Alternatives?
My current collection is an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean (42mm black dial with orange numerials, black bezel) and a Tudor Back Bay Steel and Gold on a leather strap... so I feel like another dive watch might be overkill.
