But I know that some "watch people" like to buy chronos just to have a complicated watch. As complications go, I tend to go for automatics, GMT and alarms, calendars (because I can/will use the feature), minute repeaters, or maybe a moon phase if the watch offers something unique in its moon display and I feel really, really compelled by it. (for aural and/or visual pleasure)

Here is another review of the watch. I haven't read it, but ABTW often offers wearability impressions and experiences.

The only Omega I have is a Constellation and I've had not one single negative experience with it. Tons of folks like the Speedy offerings, so I can't say as I'd think you'll be disappointed.

Here's some thoughts on the 9300 movement inside the case: http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/2012/1/...chronogra.html
Thanks Tony, that ABTW review was helpful.

I think I'll wait for the dealer to bring it so I can try it on, at 41.5" the dial size is definitely to my liking but I'm not sure about the thickness of the case.
