I’ve been at that crossroad few times but didn’t pull the trigger (yet)
When I first saw that open dial I was neutral to it. On the one hand I liked it but there was something with it that I couldn’t identify.
My daughter quickly solved that riddle for me. She said: “with that open dial it’s just like a clowns face”
Since then the open dial is out for me
The one that’s very high on my wishlist is the chronograph platinum with the black dial. I know it’s personal and certainly don’t want to offend any one who fell in love with the open dial
Just personal taste.
