So think I am very close…

… to letting my Luminor 1056 go, and narrowing it down between these two:

Which would you go with based solely on aesthetics, and NOT FUNCTION in this case — any why?

Thanks all for your help!

would answer your question to a tee. Coloured dials are an affectation for the un-initiated and the tourists IMO. That being said, still IMO, Panerai=quintessential, Panerai=less is more. Based on those principals, between the 2 your are considering, it w... 

Nicely put, my friend.

Hands down the 995 - cleaner and more classic
