I much prefer the Gen 3 chronograph to the Gen 2. While I like big date complications (I have a GO Senator Observer), the choice of font for the date window on the Gen 2 has always struck me as odd and out of place on the watch. I also much prefer the case shape of the Gen 3. The blue dial on the Gen 3 is gorgeous (I really loved the brown dial too, something a little different) and the strap changing mechanism is ingenious. Really hard to fault the watch in my opinion, and the 4:30 date window doesn't really bother me at all. . I may have preferred if it matched the dial color more closely so that it wasn't so prominent, but not a show stopper.
FWIW, I walked around a local luxury watch dealer yesterday and tried on a variety of watches but the Gen. 3 chronograph was the only one that left a lasting impression, and I've had it on the wrist many times before...

But it's hard to get a better dial layout than what the 2nd gen chronograph has. Its liked VC flipped the issue that the 2nd gen three hander had with the awkward date position and moved it to the 3rd gen chronograph. They also eliminated the guilloche da...

I very much prefer the Gen 3 chrono over the Gen 2. The 2 is bit chunky and looks heavy compared to the 3 If you’re a fan of big date than the 3 won’t help you but personally I’m not a fan of big dates. I have the Gen 3 chrono with blue dial. Absolutely p...
That blue dial gen2 is really great.

My only issue with it is the poor water resistance, which is contrary to the concept of a sport chrono with screw down pushers. Case back should have been screw down.
I have a gen 2 chronograph

I prefer the gen 3 three hander and the gen three dual time zone to the gen 2, but in the chrono, I prefer the gen 2 layout. I think they should have updated to the new bezel , dial but left the old layout. Also the gen 3 chrono is just a little too thick...
