VC Dual Time vs Moser Endeavor Vantablack

I have the opportunity to get one of these two watches. they are certainly different in alot of ways. ones more dressy and the other more sporty. the moser has the double hair spring which is unique in addition to the vantablack. the VC is a unique in its own ways, and I don't own a VC which I'd like to. and the overseas are harder to come by than the Moser watches. anyways, just wanted hear some thoughts.

VC for me without doubt. Gen 3 OS is pure beauty and innovation, and with the interchangeable straps/bracelet you get 3 looks in one watch.
Even if I like the Moser Vantablack.

VC for me. Moser doesn’t excite me for whatever reason.

Wow - you have great taste! I would go for the Moser to wear with a suit and the VC for less formal wear - which does not imply that either one could not be worn with anything! I did look at that Moser Model - but went with a Pioneer with the Blue Fume dial.

not a fan of moser lingo.....VC gets my vote personally, esp. it's such a versatile watch that you can wear it everyday anywhere due to its water resistance/GMT complication/interchangeable strap system

VC for me, especially with the simple strap change mechanism.

The VC without question. It's a much more "useful"/versatile watch. It can be sporty/dressy. On bracelet, you can swim with it.

Although I love Moser watches, I can't get over the fact that the vast majority of their watches are on expensive straps and are more on the dressy side than sporty. They should offer more sporty models with bracelet options.

Also, I don't really understand the Vantablack models. So it's a really deep black, to the point where the hands look like they are almost floating. To me, it's more a novelty than a watch that has staying power so to speak. Perhaps the tourbillon model has a more visual interest, but it's just not for me.

Moser likes to be "too cute" sometimes, and while amusing, it can get a bit annoying. There PCs are "innovative" but the stub months hand is difficult to read, and they almost never seem to have a day indicator. My opinion is that PCs need a day indicator to be a true PC.

Anyway, just my rant.

Out of these two, the Moser. Much more unique than another integrated bracelet watch. Also: the VCO is just a little too big for my liking and the end links flaring out so aggressively is a design flaw. The Moser is perfect in 40mm. Finally, the case design of the Moser is nicer.

The moser vantablack - it is gorgeous. Sleek, simple, in a league of its own.

I prefer moser to VC for the overall body of work but I’d pick the VC in your matchup. I prefer any streamliner to overseas. I have the green dial enamel dial with the double hairspring and it’s magnificent. I can’t take my eyes off the dial.
