Best Chronograph on Earth and in Space

I know my title is bold, but for the price, this is by far the best value on the market when it comes to luxury watches. When you buy the Speedmaster Professional, you are buying a watch with a rich history, a reliable track record, great brand recognition, and an overall very attractive appearance! It's also a great size- not too big, not too small. It shows a far more refined taste than many of the leviathans you see on peoples' wrists today. I like the steel bracelet. The watch's dial has a classic look, and with a different strap, the watch may look too vintage for some. But, with this newer style band, the watch has a very attractive combination of vintage and modern which allows it to look great on anyone's wrist for any occasion. Classy enough for a suit, casual enough for the weekend. The only drawback I can possibly find with this watch is the somewhat shotty accuracy. But lets get real, who buys a $4,500 watch for timekeeping? Buy a quartz watch at Target if you want accuracy. And I can always get the Speedmaster regulated/adjusted if it gets on my nerves too much. But as long as it stays within 10 seconds a day, I'm happy. Also, I've heard it takes the watch a month or two of wear before it "breaks in" and keeps better time. I've been wanting to purchase my first luxury timepiece for some time now, and after hours of research, I settled on this piece. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, this is a great value. It's true luxury, not imitation like the garbage Tag Heuer puts out (seriously, look up how they use Seiko movements). Sure it's not Rolex, but to be honest, you're getting a watch that looks far more attractive than any Rolex in this price range. So if you want to enter into the world of higher-end watches, I would recommend this as your first. You won't be disappointed. NASA wasn't. If it's good enough to get us to the moon, its good enough for me.Read full review
