Both look great, but….
Platinum version for me👌. I like the white dial better in addition to the points you brought up.
Steel Hodinkee or Platinum?
Two versions of the Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955 (both measuring 38.5 x 10.9 mm and powered by caliber 1142 ): Steel Hodinkee Edition ref. 5000H/000A with Pulsometer scale (2017) Platinum ref. 5000H/000P-B058 with Tachymeter scale ...

In this instance I beg to differ 😇
I find the slate grey dial easily more appealing, and despite not being a fan of the large 'Graduated....' print, I don't find any disagreement with a pulsometer scale, it's not only an occasionally helpful tool, it brings me fond memories and ideals of m...
I completely agree, Filip; the way we react to the pulsometer scale depends entirely on what we associate it with, on the imagery it evokes for us.
And those can indeed be some very beautiful associations! Best, Emmanuel
Unless the platinum is to much heavier, that's the one I'd prefer.
If I want to find out a pulse using just 30 counts, I can divide the tachometer reading by two. I think the blue tachometer scale really pops in a positive way.
Both!
The PT version is very appealing, and I have not handled the Hodinkee version but that color is quite special and uncommon.
I find them all appealing…
But would probably go with steel due to the lighter weight 🤷🏻♂️ As for Pulsometer, aesthetics aside I find it a lot more likely to use than a Tachymeter scale 😉👍🏻
Can we choose both and mix!!
Platinum case, darker dial with Tachymeter for me. Luckily I have a 38mm GP with similar vibes for a fraction of the price!! ...
