Poll question; which of these two watches would you buy purely based on looks?

This is an easy test of how well you know your way around the world of watches. Which watch model is generally more expensive, picture 1 or 2? Can you name the watch in the pictures? Hint: I'm sorry but I don't have a hint ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿป

The chronometer iks probably the most expensive but I like the look of the other choice.

I hope my choice doesn't affect my final grade in watch knowledge, but I like what I like for many reasons and price isn't high on my list.

You have a remarkable eye, I'm sorry I missed it with the chronometer, this way the question of which is more expensive is very clear. Nobody's grade get affected in watch knowledge, one of the reasons I'm visiting this site is the general opinion from different perspectives so this poll is more of a fun based then serious competition ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿป

I think 1 is a Citizen and 2 in a Longines, both are great but today I like 2 as its more simple.

Brands just has been revealed ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ˜ I wonder if the knowledge of WCers can go as far as naming the models, although the Citizen is pretty much obvious ๐Ÿค”

Ahh I am sure (maybe!) the CITIZEN Tsuyosa, and Longines not sure TBH.

Sorry for your dad, Its very nice what a special watch your father left you

Traditional lugs > Integrated bracelet.

I truly hate that horizontal break that is so typical on integrated bracelet watch cases.

ยท

Although not legible, "SWISS MADE" is a great hint.

I also like the traditional lugs more, but on the PRX I have an integrated bracelet and I dont mind it I have no problem with it, it somehow fits the overall look of the case ๐Ÿป

Tsuyosa<Longines

ยท

Not crazy about the case/lugs on 1

ยท

#2 looks better made.

If we got it right do we win a Yippee! Watch? ๐Ÿ˜

They look too similar/boring for me to decide.

You win an insignificant point that moves you to the second round, but the second round is nowhere in sight yet ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿป

There's a white dial Tsuyosa (that's number 1) No idea yet what number 2 is.

ยท

The"chronometer" on the dial of watch B is a dead giveaway that it is more expensive. While watch A seems nicely lumed on both the hands & indices, you can find examples on Aliexpress for $100. Any certified chronometer is going to cost at least 10X that.

This Chronometer on pic 2 is Longines Record Pre-owned on Ch24 for 1500 and the first one is brand new Citizen for 300. What a significant different price point for similar looking watches

ยท

The 1st one, index markers with lume always work better for me also the hands is better looking too

ยท

Neither, because of the date.

ยท

neither one works for me sorry...enjoy the hobby
