MB&F Perpetual VS EVO?
Any owners here? I am thinking of pulling the trigger on one shortly. The other thought is going for the original perpetual calendar from MB&F. I have tried both on (thank you Rostovsky!).
My pros/cons between the two:
-I like the heat blued hands on the regular perp more.
-The like the white lacquer dials more on the regular version.
-Can use any strap on the regular version. I find straps help you get more out of a watch. I like mixing it up a lot.
-The original is 44mm x 17.5mm. The EVO is 17.15mm. So SLIGHTLY thinner?
-I like the case shape and sleekness of the EVO in-person a lot.
-The extra WR and shock resistance on the EVO is appealing. I like to take a watch when I travel, and I HATE leaving them in hotel rooms when I go to the pool. I like that I could bring this with me on trips and just slap it on...never take it off. I think I am too much of a coward to take something like this in a super wavy beach situation though like Hawaii lol.
-The original is a bit cheaper, even used. The difference isn't a deal breaker for me...but it is enough to get another watch. 
What else am I missing?
I have contemplated this question before
For me, the dial of the classic version is more beautiful, with the exception of the red-orange dial version of the EVO. That one is quite special in my opinion. Ultimately, if I had to choose again, though, I would go with the EVO for the durability and the peace of mind wearing it in any active situation.
My one serious gripe with the EVO is the way the rubber strap integrates with the case. It’s not a seamless integration and there is a gap on the underside. This is pretty big fault in my view.
I have chosen EVO
as a much more wearable option. Its light, water resistant and shock protected.
