If the Wen had or will have an inhouse movement, i would much prefer the Wen as the style is much more in line with what i like and Tantalum is one of my fav materials!!
Full respect to Wen, style is personal preference. Will say the Streamliner is innnnnnnncredibly comfortable to wear.
But that dial doesn't speak to me so it would have to be the Moser.
