TAG-Heuer Glasbox vs Breitling Navitimer B01 and Premier B09

[njlam]

Trying to decide between these three chronos (all on straps):

1. TAG-Heuer Chrono Glassbox 39mm Reverse Panda

2. Breitling Navitimer B01 41mm Ice Blue w/Black subdials

3. Breitling Premier Chrono B09 40mm white or pistachio dial

I know this is a subjective decision, but what are the pros/cons of each of these watches?

Obviously the easy decision is to get them all, however if you had to buy one first, which one would it be?

Thanks.

My hierarchy is:
-Breitling Navitimer B01 41mm Ice Blue
-TAG-Heuer Chrono Glassbox 39mm
-Breitling Premier Chrono B09 40mm

I know on paper the Breitling probably wipes the floor with the Tag, but I think the glassbox is freaking gorgeous. It would honestly be my pick.

I seriously think the PM glassbox rivals the Daytona in pure aesthetical beauty and no I haven't been drinking.

Yet.

I agree the Glassbox looks cool. I especially like the reverse panda with the date at 12.

That being said, I already own a TAG, so I may want a Breitling (which I don't own any), before getting the Glassbox.

I think the Navitimer is more classic/historically significant, however, the Premier looks like it will age well (will look like a 1950s Universal Geneve).

Hard to pick...

Depends on your use case and what the rest of your collection looks like. For my collection, I’d pick the Premier, since it’s quite a dressy Chrono. Next would be the Navitimer for the dial variation and classic looks.

I've always liked the B09 with pistachio dial. It's unique.
