  • Do you own any other watches in your collection? The safe bet is the SM or Santos and i would imagine majority would say this. The Santos is probably the most versatile since you can change out bracelet and straps but I’ve never personally owned one but seems to be one watch many recommend.

    I have owned a SM300 in the past - nice watches but the HEV I didnt like to ended up with a 1957 SM Trilogy which I enjoyed a lot.

    Unless you have a specific tie to Cobra or own one then I’d pass on the Brietling. They have some other options which i personally think are nice but never owned which is the B09 Chronograph with pistachio dial but again never owned one.

    Finally the Monaco - personally the dial variation shown probably isnt my fave - I would lean to the older Heuer dials with the Calbre 11 movement. I’ve owned the grey Heuer and that was one of my all time favourite watches. It is a little thick but it is such a fun watch and has rich history.

    Definitely recommend trying them all on and seeing which one you connect with the most and that should be the one you get.

    Good luck!

    I actually went into the Chopard Boutique today and checked out the AE. They had the slate colour, the black titanium and XPS. They are stunning and much more than I thought. I also checked out the gold ones with the navy and forest green dials and wow!

    I am going to get a XPS somehow haha

    The AE is really growing on me! When you stop comparing it to the other integrated bracelet watches and look at it on its own it’s actually an amazing watch for the price point. The date is still abit hard to get over haha - hopefully they release one with out it! Would be parting ways with cash in an instant
