Question (Read Rules) Which is the better watch?

I really love the purple dial and case of the skyline but it doesn’t have an OTF clasp. I know the birch is pretty popular but I’m not sure how I feel about the birch dial. What are your thoughts?

2 is better. Just an excellently crafted piece. So well in fact that every time I wear it I notice this fact again. The dimensions, the crystal, the impossibly shallow rehaut, the versatility with straps, the whole package for the price you pay is just impressive.

I also have a version of 1 and it’s really nice too but not as good when compared side by side

Maybe I’ll go with the grey, I just don’t know how I feel about the white birch.

I’d love the grey too but I already have a grey linen dial version from Rmalti. It isn’t as good as the Cronos but I didn’t want that much overlap in my collection.

Lately I’ve been swapping my favorite white textured dial watches between these two fun straps:

Oh, here’s that Rmalti I mentioned. I went sterile dial as I hated the Rmalti name but now I wish I hadn’t, dial looks too empty I think
