I have an opportunity to purchase either of these two watches...
1) H. Moser Endeavour Purple Enamel
2) RG C Titanium Edition Bracelet
So far I only saw the Moser in person, and the purple dial is absolutely stunning! Considering that I already own a Streamliner small seconds blue enamel, adding a purple dial to the collection appeals to me. As for Romain Gauthier, I haven't seen the watch in person just yet, so I don't know how it fits, but from the pictures alone I like the design.
What do you guys reckon?

This is easier than you think :-)
Beware of coloured dials especially from Moser. I had a fume dial watch which looked great at the shop but after a few months the novelty wore off. The Romain Gauthier will wear larger than the Moser but Gauthier has arguably some of the best finished mov...
Agree with Sham, the Moser is a novelty for all but a few of us.
Yea, someone will rock that dial as an everyday one watch collection but those people are very very few. For most it’s a novelty watch in a larger collection and for that it’s a good fit. As for the RG, you need to try it on. For me, the bracelet version ...
Gauthier by far
IMHO there’s no competition, the C is too superior in every aspect. You can also remove the bracelet and put a strap on and get a new watch for ( almost) free. I wish I had this dilemma 🤔🤗
Really?
Do you mean that they’re not interchangeable, or that they’re not easy to remove? Either way, the C is a watch with an apparently simple dial and a jaw-dropping movement. For those who knows, only 😎 It's so classy and elegant. I think it's the best altern...
Not interchangeable.
They are two different watches and my understanding is that was very intentional to keep it that way. I do get the frustration on potential buyers behalf, as we have become accustomed to being able to interchange.
Thank you 🙏
I’ve never paid so much attention to that, always thought the size was the same.
Case size yes.
For me the bracelet version wears better (smaller) as the lugs on the strap version are quite long. There are no lugs on the bracelet version and so visually it looks smaller (length wise) on the wrist.
Holy Shit, that’s a difficult decision.
I absolutely love the textured dial on the Moser and its color with matching strap is a statement maker and will age nicely. The RG has a stunning movement and its exclusivity is a plus for sure, it does have the total package IMO. Good luck with this dec...
Between these exact two watches: the Moser. Nicer dial, nicer case and the movement finishing is not too far apart.
Now, throw in the openworked dial and that would sway me. That one is gorgeous but it’s also twice the cost of the Moser.
Appreciate all your input!
Excellent advice and lots to consider. Personally, I don't think that I'll get bored of the Moser dial, since it's one of those pieces that I won't be wearing too often. Same goes for the Streamliner blue enamel...every time I put that watch on the wrist,...
The Gauthier does nothing for me, but I'm not a fan of his watches in general.
I'd choose a less "loud" Moser... To me, that's the whole point of the unmarked dial...subtlety, serenity...
Hear hear!
I went for a Moser with a rose gold fumé dial for myself a few years ago. Eminently wearable. Murder to photograph! ...
Personally, I'd go with the R. Gauthier.
I love Moser's fumé dials, but that one strikes me as something I'd get very limited wear out of. Generally speaking, if I find myself not wearing a watch, I won't keep it. The R. Gauthier holds greater horological interest for me as well. That said, it's...
Easy for me
The Romain Gauthier continuum or C. in this comparison. Based on my aesthetic preferences alone, ignoring any details about movement/brand etc.
