A friend has one of the green face chrono ones - https://www.tourneau.com/watches/breitling/premier-b01-chronograph-42-ab0145371l1p1-BRI0194119.html

I'm torn between a Breitling or another Tag - I'm leaning to the Monaco with the stem on the left side. They originally did it to show you didn't need to wind it.  https://www.tagheuer.com/us/en/timepieces/collections/tag-heuer-monaco/39-mm-calibre-11-automatic/CAW211P.FC6356.html

For some reason I seem to prefer blue face ones. This is one of the good knock offs. I swapped some ammo at the height of the shortage for it so I've only got less than $200 in it. Even the second hand moves correctly. https://www.deepreplica.nu/rolex-cosmograph-daytona-950-platinum-904l-steel-ice-blue-dial-diamond-markers-ceramic-bezel-40mm-swiss-replica-watch.html

That is quite a knock off!  "Swapped some ammo for it."  A true American.  Breitlings are pilot watches.  The Tags are more motorsports inspired.  That Monaco price seems to have crept up.  Jomashop is a grey market where some deals can be had but exercise your due diligence.

I was checking out the issue Shelby Cobra one.  There is also one for Corvette.

The Breitling Cobra watch looks choice.  There are also Baume Mercier Cobra watches which have more Cobra cues.  Not sure of how the internals match up against each other.
