Which Seamaster would you buy?

diablo982 · 22 December 2010, 02:42 PM

I have no problem with the orange bezel, but of the two I would give my vote to the black one.

kyle L · 22 December 2010, 02:50 PM

Black looks sharper, but I like both of them.

SCD · 22 December 2010, 03:46 PM

A diver with pushers seems strange to me...but I'd go for orange.

Starwalker · 22 December 2010, 03:48 PM

Orange!

ghanemC · 22 December 2010, 04:07 PM

Orange.

Both are nice but if i HAD to choose it would be the Orange.

Chris

himmelblau · 22 December 2010, 05:12 PM

Both are nice, as a personal choice I would go for the one with the black bezel.

Brian

ParisDakarBmw · 22 December 2010, 05:18 PM

Black

spuds · 22 December 2010, 05:50 PM

I think the black's more 'multi-purpose' & I might tire of the orange.

topgun · 22 December 2010, 06:02 PM

black for me

dalip · 22 December 2010, 06:10 PM

Black here also.
I would tire of the orange...black is more sustainable and looks great.

venom43 · 23 December 2010, 12:17 AM

The best of both worlds, BLACK bezel with ORANGE hour markers. You just can't go wrong. That's what i did with my P.O.

RedwinGV · 23 December 2010, 08:24 AM

Orange, of course it's my favorite color, so I have a bias.

I do like the black, but to me, the orange is more unique and sportier.
Black is much more subtle.

Route 66 · 23 December 2010, 08:58 AM

Black for me...except on Halloween.

Mr. Greene · 23 December 2010, 09:12 AM

black definately

axjimenez · 24 December 2010, 06:11 AM

Black all the way

colpol · 24 December 2010, 07:54 AM

I'd go for black too !! I think black will stand the test of time better than orange

Agreed.

dieseldragon · 24 December 2010, 08:22 AM

Having just got an orange PO, I am in love. The orange is not as in your face as it seems in the fotos. I bought the orange with the idea of swapping bezels in mind if it was too much.

I have a black watch for more subdued occasions, so its really not going to be an issue.

esm · 24 December 2010, 08:44 AM

i like funky colours - so i would pick the orange bezel chrono.

but then again, the black version would probably be more versatile for daily use

The GMT Master · 24 December 2010, 08:48 AM

I'd go with the black, just enough contrast with the orange numerals and stitching

Dr. Jones · 24 December 2010, 09:46 AM

Thank you all for the great input. I wish I could buy both.

Tombstone · 26 December 2010, 10:52 AM

Black for me please.

JBat · 26 December 2010, 05:05 PM

Tough choice, but I'd probably go black. Good dilemma to have.

tech_controller · 26 December 2010, 09:30 PM

Easy choice for me--orange!

av8ors · 26 December 2010, 11:05 PM

+1 for black.

Cicindela · 27 December 2010, 12:04 AM

Orange.

Why buy something that looks similar to my Sub.

(maybe not to us , but to the non WIS world)

EvEr34 · 27 December 2010, 12:12 AM

+1 for the orange

sea-dweller · 27 December 2010, 02:22 AM

The black one.

jimmyred21 · 27 December 2010, 05:33 AM
