Very well said.
You saved me a lot of typing, and you did it more eloquently. My eye is drawn to the anchor-shaped bridge moreso than the the tripod- or tower-shaped bridge, and for me the absence of the Maltese cross on the barrel was a real shame. That was the first thing I noticed when I saw the new movement -- the absence of that beautiful visual feature that is so enjoyable to witness in action. Of course, both movements are stunning.
For the OP: You really can't go wrong with either the Striking Time or the ZW Date. I've owned the Striking Time since it first came out, and I've played with the Date model quite a bit too. Both are a home run. But because we have to pick one, I'd give a slight edge to the Striking Time for the reason others mentioned. It's a really special, unusual complication. You probably have other watches with dates, but you may not have any others that chime softly four times every hour. The Striking Time is a truly practical complication if you're someone who has a lot meetings that last for 30 minutes or longer. I actually found myself relying on it, which I never expected.
Striking Time White Gold vs Zeitwerk Date
Have the chance to pick either one - can only pick one...Both preowned Anyone go through a similar dilemma before ? Appreciate thoughts or recommendations.
My vote is for ...
striking time, because it is a much, much more special complication than the date. One thing to remember is that the date version has the updated movement and it is more "technically advanced" in terms of higher PR, quick-change of hour etc. On the other ...
I agree with you
But I actually think that the new architecture looks a lot better, and is better finished. The successor to the anchor shaped bridge looks better and has a ton of interior angles.
Yeah ...
as always, these are all subjective, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and all that! 🤗 I agree that the new bridge has more interior angles. But, I do like the shape of the anchor, because it is quite distinctive and it has been a signature of the...
The maltese cross is a nice detail
Both movements are beautiful. The anchor shape is iconic, but there's something almost organic in how the new bridge is shaped, it looks like a molecule, and I like that.
Very well said.

Striking
Though the date is a beautiful and updated movement Zw, I am moved more-so by the striking time in WG than the date version. I have owned the original WG version, and can attest changing the time can be tedious when the PR runs out - hearing a delightful ...
