Which one would better serve me?
As watch guys we all contemplate our next purchase. I want another pilots watch and am considering one of these two. Big price difference, but do I actually gain anything by opting for the higher priced option? Any big difference in case material, etc.? P...
The way I see it...
For an extra $3000+ you get: 1) Two more millemeters 2) A date 3) Less power reserve (42 vs. 80) 4) Automatic 5) A less unique looking watch
