    This is very much a first world problem, but I am looking at 3 choices. Most of my small collection is automotive or motorcycle-themed, so a lot of chronos.

    Which one of these would you pick? I am trying to go for presence and rarity with my next purchase.

    Jaeger Master Compressor Chrono, Rossi edition
    Bell & Ross, B-Rocket, CR03 (motorbike tribute)
    Bremont MKII (E-type tribute)

    BTW, I really want a Breguet La Tradition, a Lange, a Glashutte, or a Patek, but these purchases will have to wait....

    Thanks in advance

    Ditto. I'm a big Jaeger fan though.

    Thank you! Jaeger is a fine movement, indeed. I will call the seller on Monday to see if something can be done.

    Definately dont get a new watch if you want to save up.
    A nice used Breguet Type 21 would be in the flavor of your 3 choices and you can get almost all of your $ back when you move up.

    indeed. Further complicating matters is the appearance of a fourth choice.

    A Glashutte Sport Evolution. I think I am off to Union Square in San Francisco to see how many of these I can find in stock and let the personal inspection help guide the next purchase.

    Out of all four, I would get the Glashutte.
