What should my first chronograph be?
I knew that as soon as I bought a watch, it wouldn't be the end. After the Bambino, I have my sights on saving for a Seiko Turtle, Baltic Aquascaphe, and a chronograph. But I can't decide on what chronograph to get. I like the styling on the Shinola Runwell Chrono, but it's too much money and I am looking for something a little more unique (everyone in my family has a Shinola). The poll will only let me do 4 choices, so these are the top 4 on my list right now. Along with these four I'm also considering the:
-Sugess MoonPhase Master
-Hemel Air League
-Nezumi Tonnerre
-Seakoss 1963 3-eye
For this first round of my collection, I'm trying to stay below $1000.
What should I get?

I like the Hemel 💯
I like it too, but my current top watch for this budget collection is the Aquascaphe and it looks a little too similar. But dang they are both good looking!
Tech wise the Bulova is the most interesting IMO, but also knowing Bulova it's probably gargantuan
Dan Henry is the best looking imo
Seagull is the most interesting to look at through the case back

Get out of my head!
The top 3 in the votes is basically what I was thinking. But I didn't realize there would be so much love for the Seagull. It must be all about the heritage!

Also, it is gargantuan 😢. 43mm diameter somewhere around 50mm lug to lug. Way too big for my 7inch wrist. I really really really want this one for the movement, the style, and the American heritage. But I don't think it was meant to be.
