Decision made....incoming

Decision made....thank you all for the help & suggestions!
In the end, the colors and CE bezel of the newer vampire/dark knight, won me over. The 44mm was just a bit to overwhelming for my wrist, not sure if I would’ve been comfortable looking at how big it was compared to my other watches, but my first thought was ...too big! Maybe I’ll warm up to 44mm at some point, but this fits my 6.75in wrist nicely, and is very comfortable

Definitely the right decision! Perfectly matches your appearance ... congrats!

However, if you had told us about the tattoos in the first place the poll would have been superfluous. The vampire is by far the best match

Thank you, and thanks for the help. Overall I thought this color scheme worked better for me vs the ghost. Just had to find the CE bezel.

Thanks all! I appreciate it!

Congrats Rich, that does look good on you, altho with all that ink you can easily carry off a 44 when the time is right.

thanks Neil! The ink with a 44mm...I’ll never say never

Thanks gentlemen! I’d have to agree the black and red goes better with the ink than the ghost would’ve...although it was a tough choice, as both are really great!
