Independents

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all preparing for a wonderful New Year!🥳 I find myself in a tricky situation and would appreciate your advice on a difficult decision: choosing between the UR-100V LightSpeed and the UR-100V UltraViolet.

In the photos, you will see a wrist shot of me wearing the LightSpeed (I haven't had the chance to try on the UltraViolet yet, but I've included a wrist shot of it—credit: about-timepieces.com). Both watches are excellent, but they have some differences:

LightSpeed:

- Covers the other hour wheels, which I find fantastic.

- Larger at 43mm compared to 41mm (the size suits me well).

- Case material is carbon, whereas the UltraViolet is titanium.

- Higher water resistance (50m versus 30m).

UltraViolet:

- The violet titanium case is striking—bold and distinctive.

- Smaller size makes it potentially more versatile for daily wear (though the colour scheme might be challenging for everyday use).

- More affordable, which is certainly an advantage.

I admire aspects of both watches. The design and features of the LightSpeed are impressive, but the UltraViolet has a unique character that is difficult to overlook. I suspect the LightSpeed might be somewhat more exclusive.

If you were in my position, which would you choose? I would be grateful for your thoughts, and I wish you all a fantastic New Year!

Best regards,  

Christian
