I got my tax return such as it is and am thinking of finally getting a chronograph.
So which one? Blue or Black? Still better than a "Moon Swatch"

I love watches, I am also staggeringly poor. So I usually have to go for oddity or utility over horological mastery. Very little in my collection could qualify as a "flex" I tend to wibble on about my...

Black, it's more likely to actually stick in a collection after the white/blue gets "dated".
That said, neither is "better" than a MoonSwatch, they are different. It's like comparing a moped to a Miata. Sure the moped is cheaper and more practical, but that isn't the point of the Miata.
Blue
Black is the classic…but I tried on the blue…it was a wrap…blue for me
It seems you have a pretty colourfull collection and are not afraid to wear interesting (meaning cool af) watches, so were I you, Id choose the blue. Blacks boring, and because it is an homage to the real deal, a little pop of colour would help differentiating it.

Except this is the Miata. Its just cheaper.

You missed the point, likely intentionally...
Regardless, what I was pointing out is the Pagani watches are what people buy when they want a practical watch for daily wear. The MoonSwatches are what people buy when they don't care about practicality at all, and just want something fun.

Fair enough.
Black…OG
Looked at your collection, you seem to go with bright colours and shiny objects. I think you will get bored with the black one so you might as well go with the blue one and keep your collecting trend on track. Just my opinion

I am poor and a watch collector, a bad combination. I have to make up in interest what I lack in "quality". I'm an outrageous person. The sort of person who owns costumes, but nothing you could wear to a wedding. I started collecting because I'm drawn to the watches of the 1970s. But you are probably right.
If you're thinking about getting a quartz chronograph, I'd take a quick look at the Baltany offerings and see if they interest you. Really nice and functional IMO.
Blue.
If not an Omega, then either one is fine.
I own the black PD1701v3, so am voting black, as it is the one of the two that most closely resembles the legendary Speedy.
The blue/white one is nice too though!

Like I could ever afford an Omega! :)
The red one
I’ll just skip it
What is it that appeals to you about dissing the choices of others? I can totally understand you deciding what's best for you but you seem intent on repeatedly posting judgements on what's "better" for others.
Me? Buy what you like. I've been called so many things for buying homages I don't care anymore.
