At a basic level, which is the most important one, I like how the watch looks from the dial side. The bracelet version is what I’m drawn to most, and yes while I agree that the rose / black dial is the most visually appealing I do think the steel is a good option too.
The other factor for me is the font; but only to the point that I would be a little hesitant with respect to the precious metal pieces (really the price). Is it OK to say I like in steel (at that price) but not enough to take the plunge for the gold piece? (This is true of many other watches too, a CHF10K mistake is much easier to tolerate).
Interested to see one in the metal.
