In all seriousness though, I think the Speedmaster in white would be my choice between those two.

Forego both and pick up a Serica Ref. 5303-2 Chronométre with porceline white dial for $1,500!

Very nice choices. I had the blue Straum and it was awesome. Bracelet was amazing for the money.

Don't forget the Direnzo DRZ04

I would say the Serica Ref. 6190 should be on the list of considerations. It is also Chronometer certified! I agree that the Direnzo DRZ04 and the C Ward C63 Sealander are also way up there too.

The bonklip looks sick with the end links! I will be trying that tonight.

Not a great photo but this is all I have at the moment. I will try to add a couple with the end links later on.
