look into watches with the Lemania 5100 movements like this one...

It's nice, but unless I hit the lottery, I will have to stick to a G-Shock or something in a similar price range But hey, you get free shipping!!!

That is in the price range of good used lower level Rolex watches, btw. Nice looking watch, though.Actually you can buy an Omega Professional Speedmaster for the amount asked. That one has a chronograph built in.

But what if he's really interested in a Chrono.

As for the Valjoux 7750, it's not that bad. You get used to it.

Does the bezel of that Sinn read backwards for a reason?

Tony, I am completely clueless regarding the Valjoux 7750 movement. What do you mean by that?

I was addressing MelancholyMutt's comment:

He didn't specify Valjoux, but that's the brand behind the 7750 Chrono mechanism of the original watch.

It's basically a countdown timer, which is really what I'd want a bezel to do, as opposed to an elapsed time timer. I really wonder why other watches which already have chronos don't pick up this idea.

I agree that this is a sweet watch. To me, the best-looking Sinn there is. Now to see if I can find $1600 in coins in the sofa...
