Icon5 This or that?
Planning on purchasing my wife her first Omega for the upcoming holiday, which does the forum think I should go with, left or right?

I should also add that the Seamaster I was considering has a light blue dial, while this one has a white.

That's what I'm leaning toward. The dial on the Constellation is mother of pearl to boot, which I personally think looks awesome!

What could possibly go wrong with you making a several $1000 purchase as a gift for her that she didn't get to pick out herself?

Anyway, I think the Constellation looks nicer. I bought my mom one like 10 years ago when I got my Seamster 300M Pro. She picked it out herself though at the Omega Boutique.

For what it is worth I find the watch on the left to be much more attractive.

That model is my favorite! Unfortunately, she doesn't like the Tahitian Mother of Pearl. It's my favorite though

I think Constellation(on the left) looks better with the roman numeral and its casing

Both are nice. It really depends what she likes. I'd take her shopping.

Of the two, I think I like the Constellation, but would like to see it on a wrist.

Fair enough. In which case of the 2 I much prefer the one on the left.

It is going to come down to fit and what she likes. I would have the store hold both watches and give her a nice card with a some type of note that she has a new watch waiting for pickup at whatever store. You can go and see and can also have the watch professionally adjusted. Too many factors at play just to buy it cold. Good luck and nice watches.
