Aha, great choice, I have one as well it’s an absolute stunner. You and I have 3 watches in common now 226570 Polar, Sub date (mine is the older ceramic model) and now the 40mm Explorer which I picked up in March. Wear my Explorer 40 more than any other watch.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 congrats! Excellent choice, Breguet and Omega sink like a tank if you want to get rid of it. Us watch enthusiasts always keep saying we are not flippers, I will keep it for life, and that Rolex is for snobs, but that’s a bunch of BS when life hits you with unexpected lemons like it did for me, then you’ll find the same friendly dealers turn to savages, you’ll find out which pieces you’re able to move soon and which ones will make you feel like you threw away your money for. I’m forced to keep a Breitling Colt I bought for $2.5K because the most I got offered was $700 dollars, yet I fell out of love and sold a Date-just 41 back in 2021 and made a thousand dollar profit that I didn’t anticipate. I’m sorry if I’m triggering a watch nerd somewhere out there, but I do value my hard earned money. You should go for the Daytona since you have a good spending history and good luck!

However, I simultaneously hoped u getting Speedmaster too since u haven’t added any decent chronograph watch in ur collection yet. I mean, u’ve got a dive watch, a field watch, and a gmt watch. So I guess ur collection will be completed once u add a decent chronograph watch next!

I do really (need) want the chronograph, but like you saw on the video I went to purchase the Breguet, I wanted the Breguet. That fell through and I'm still a little on the fence about the Speedmasters water resistance of only 50m. I think the Breguet type XX is the perfect fit for a field chronograph watch and the Speedy more of a around town watch.

@@cheynewallsDo not let listen to this guy. It’s complete nonsense. I’ve been collecting watches for years and the speedmaster was the very first watch I bought. It’s still part of my collection to this very day and I still wear the hell out of it. The 1861 movement is nearly bulletproof, and the newer 3861 is even better. My speedmaster has never even been serviced and it still keeps better time than all of my Rolexes at 1 second/day. The only drawback is the lack of water resistance. That being said, 50m is good enough for the vast majority of things you’ll be doing. Some people even swim with them, which Omega says you can do. Just don’t go diving with it and you’ll be fine. The speedy is an awesome watch. Outside of my Explorer, it’s probably my all time favorite.
