Octa Divine vs RM005
I'm having opportunity to snap up Octa Divine and RM005 (standard-- not FM edition) from a close friend. Both preowned in platinum cases and having relatively similar offer price.
These two watches fit perfectly on my wrist and I LOVE them both but as usual can afford only one. I have not owned any of these brands before so having a hard time deciding which way to go.
I work mostly in office environment and the winning choice will become my daily watch.
Now may I ask your suggestion and view as to what would be a better choice considering value for the money and horological factor?
I knew I can't go wrong with either but would appreciate hearing view and suggestion from you owners and experts.
This decision making process is way over my head and I'm willing to learn.
FYI-- I've posted same topic on RM forum as well.
Cheers,
HWL

Journe would be my choice but of course I'm biased. However I would consider the chronometer souveraine or Octa Automatique in addition to the Octa Divine. While the RM is a fun watch I personally wouldn't want it to be my daily piece. Journe works equall...
