Grey or White Dial on Steel?
In Response To: Well, then... *LINK* ()

: Nine grand open up a whole lot of very nice
: possibilities for you

Thanks for stating the obvious (at least to me).

I'm well aware I could get a more complicated or limited edition watch for this kind of money, but it's the styling of that Deville I enjoy most. That's why I may end up getting the Steel after all. Paying a 350% premium (2.5k vs 9k) for the Gold version is pretty outrageous.

For a while, I thought of getting a something a watch purist would enjoy, like a Blancpain Villeret Perpetual Calendar, but I discovered, I'm no watch purist. I simply know what I like.

Now that I may Settle for the Steel Deville, I don't know If I want the Grey face or the White face. Grey looks a bit nicer against all that steel, but the white is the more classic dress watch look I"m looking for.

Decisions, decisions... we should all have such problems, aye?!
