Bullhead or Deep Black

Just a quick question.
If you could choose one, which one would that be?
Thank you. I do consider all your opinions. Right now I only have D Blue.

Bullhead - so different to anything else outhere and with that silver patterned dial it looks amazing too.

I prefer the red Omega. Looks more comfortable on the wrist and when it is time to sell it might move quicker.

I like the Deep Black, I've been considering getting rid of a Cartier Carbon Diver for it (due to the redundancy on having two black rubber strap divers), so I'm prob biased a bit. Not a huge fan of the red, I like the black or blue one, but given you own a D Blue, the blue one would be redundant for you, IMO of course.

So if it was only the red one or Bullhead, I'd go Bullhead...

Also, prob tough to find the red one used right now, so you might have to buy it new, and then get slaughtered when trying to move it (should you ever decide to part ways).

Not a huge fan of this model, but seems legit:

Here is from a private seller the one you like:

Anyone in Chicago could prob do a F2F and talk this guy down to like $4,500
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pre-Owned-OM...IAAOSw5VtZ2oHP

And another, like this one the best out of the 3 - if I was in Miami, I'd consider an offer of $4,500 here for a F2F:

While I like and appreciate the uniqueness of the Bullhead, I strongly recommend the Deep Black. I have the Sedna version and can say that these models are amazing. Excellent wrist presence while remaining incredibly comfortable even with long hours of wear. The movement and technology is absolutely top notch. At least for me, the novelty of the Bullhead would wear off after a little while. The Deep Black consistently puts a smile on my face every time I strap it on the wrist.

Bullhead. If you're seriously considering it, then by all means be the trendsetter! If you ever get tired of it, just pack it away for a decade or so and don't think about it until then.

One of these days, people are going to say "Wow, look at that! I can't believe Omega had the balls to build and market this thing!"

Thank you all for your insight. I am leaning towards the Bullhead because I really like the uniqueness of the case. I think it looks great and thick with lovely polished chamfers on the superbly brushed finish. For some reason I am attracted to those lines as I am with the recently released remake of the Speedmaster Mark ii. Just something different I guess.
I haven't tried any yet but will do so today.

The Deep Black might be too close to the D Blue in size and feel. It is also more expensive.

I can get the Bullhead for $6'080 and the Deep Black for $7'785 both BNIB.
I am not in the U.S so my choices are limited. Those prices have been converted to USD.
Anyway, once again thank you fellas!

I'd get the bullhead but instead go for the white dial with the roulette outer wheel

Have you tried the Deep Black on? In size the specs aren't far off to the Deep Blue, but in feel it isn't close. Being made of ceramic it wears super light, and with the rubber strap it is extrememly comfortable.

Just reading the headline of your post my first thought was “ Deep Black”. Then, looking at the pix I really thought the Bullhead has the greater cool factor. What is the ref no of the Bullhorn?

I prefer watches that have a unique look and feel.

I'd go with the Bullhead out of those two options.

Really surprised to see the number of people voting for the Bullhead. It’s a really cool watch, I just didn’t expect that.

Can you share pictures of your Sedna Deep Black? I am seriously considering splurging on that one as my next watch. It’s got the leather/rubber strap, correct? How does the strap hold up? Would love to see pics!
