I don't really understand the voting preference for the C case ref, maybe the appeal is the black on silver dial? However it's a "free market" choice so the whatever they choose the public is always right! Maybe many of the voters have not experienced both in the flesh? Who knows...

On the dial design, not everyone loves the "Big Subs" and dauphine hand design as much as myself (and some of the core collectors). It's the first and most desired but like we see with Broad Arrow Speedies, perhaps it's an acquired taste. On a similar vein, I think more people tend to think the 2998 series is a better looking watch than the 2915. However it doesn't stop the Broad Arrow being the most desired and most valuable reference.

So long as the final choice is inside a screw back case I don't really mind which dial design wins, for me it's more about whether they get the details right. The lume, script, style of markers, pushers, may seem like small details but if they are conceived just ok or perfectly holds the key to whether the project is a success or not in my opinion.

Over the years TAG have had some close efforts, the 1133b Monaco, Silverstone and new PVD Monza had/have some real positives, but also some lack the cohesive design details that would make them really hit the spot.
