Tough choice.
I'd lean toward the Starry Seas myself, since I can't resist De Bethune's blued titanium, and I don't think there's anything else like that microlight texture out there. Open dials and mirror polishing are more commonplace design features, and besides, you can always admire the Star Trek emblem and mirror finishing through the Starry Seas case back. (I'm also willing to bet that the Starry Seas dial is far more legible.)
My DB hasn't required maintenance yet, so I can't speak to the after-sales experience. I have some concerns on this point, but I hope that having The 1916 Company at the helm will make for a better US service experience. I would certainly expect the watch to spend several months overseas for any kind of service, but many of us are accustomed to that in any case.

I can't answer your question in good conscience since I haven't seen either in the metal.
Which is, unsurprisingly, a major point of newfound query for yourself 😉👍. Thanks for the candid pics, and let us know if you make a decision! Cheers, Filip
The Steel Wheels is so much more impressive to me as I find the mirror polishing effect impressive along with the openwork-like wheels.
Plus, the large delta aesthetic is a hallmark of DBs forward thinking / futuristic designs.
Both great watches!
The Starry Seas and Steel Wheels are two of my favorite watches. They are supremely comfortable to wear—both light and perfectly sized. And they both demonstrate DB’s ingenuity and finishing skills, though in very different ways. The Starry Seas can, perh...

DB aftersales has been excellent and I think the screwdown crown is just for the "dive" watches?
My DB28 has been to service twice, the first time for dirt / debris on the inside of the dial from (maybe) going in the water with the crown out. Oops! The did a full cleaning gratis (I paid shipping) and had they watch back to me in maybe 4 months. The s...
