IIcohow-wowyp duel 16: Serica 4512 vs. Kingsbury Platoon

If I could only have one watch - which one would you chose? The final first round duel is field watch adjacent Serica 4512 37.5mm of instant recognisability and recent controversy or Kingsbury Platoon 41mm of stealth look Choose wisely!

I hadn't heard about Kingsbury movement problems so if I have to get one, I'm going with the Kingsbury. 

I don't think my local watchmaker would know how to repair or source Soprods yet.

Mine is a pre-Soprod one, I don't know if STP is better or worse though..

Ah yeah the Kingsbury has the Miyota movement people hate for it's stuttering - no one's perfect

Not big on small second's hand so Serica.

We have plastic if one wants a non-metallic colored case. Unbranded California dial and decent size are bonuses, but where's the Bonklip?

At the moment the Bonklip is doing weird experimental stuff with another watch, please don't tell my Serica 😮

Serica is one brand I don't get. At all.

I know you wanted to trick me with double "o" in the name of Kingsbury watch. I cracked your plan. It won't work with a model name. Serica! Serica!
