Hello everyone. I have a difficult time deciding between these two watches. A is iconic with date and B is way cooler but without the date and more expensive. Please help me out and let me know which one you would go for. Thanks a bunch!

Why A and not B?

Because B is "without the date and more expensive" and worst of all I don't find it "cooler"

Personally i would pick A... Just because i am.a sucker for historically accurate pieces...
B is a pretty cool piece. The exposed balance wheel is a nice eye candy.
Lack of date is not a big deal if you have other watches in rotation, in fact, it will be better since u have one less thing to adjust.

A has the design that has the classic elprimero DNA on it

Quite a difficult decision, I'm also contemplating between the tri-color or a more "fancy" el primero. I think though, we should probably go for the watch we actually like more rather then let factors like history and classic-ness decide lol.

El Primero for me anytime.

I personally would pick A, as the I am uncertain if my fascination over the open heart will be enduring or just fleeting!

Jms · « **Reply #14 on:** October 19, 2016, 05:47:00 AM »

A got my vote, as a happy owner!

The price is preowned or new ?

What is the diameter for A & B...

If I am not mistaken A is smaller

An easy question, no competition.
A for me. I like the design + it is a classic. I don't like watches with holes on dial

Isaac Tan · « **Reply #23 on:** December 19, 2016, 09:42:45 AM »

Bro, Go for A, it a classic & it won't go out of styles

jameswong6590 · « **Reply #24 on:** December 19, 2016, 10:32:17 AM »

I have purchased A. Thank you all.
