Very interested in this watch; 45 mm; lots going on here, and I love the blued hands. But I can't decide on the color to get. I'm perhaps leaning toward the white, but then I look at the gold, and then....

What do you all think?

Jim

i dont know much about watches, but ill offer my opinion anway ;)

i like the white a lot better than the gold. the gold is pretty but its too much emphasis on the gold, and it overpowers the details. the white shows the details of the watch so much better than the gold.

If you still wearing that Big Gold Chain from the eighty then I would have to say go for the gold but then again if you want a much cleare look go for the white dial version.:D:D:D:D:D:D J/K about the 80's chain

Anyway  it all depends on which you plan on wearing it , The Gold is tend to be more Dressy and the White Dressy/Sporty. Which all means if your s suit and time kinda of guy go with the Gold vice-verse:cool:

I don't like white dials, but.................get the white.  Somehow, gold dials always look a little cheap to me!

Jim,

I have liked all of your other watches lately, but this one is a tad too busy for me. Too much going on, on the dial. Between the two though, I'd go with the silver or white dial.

As an option, how about trying something like this Trias dual time zone? Its a 46mm dual auto. You lose the date features, but you gain an easier to read dial. :)

Thanks for the input, everyone. Yes there is a lot going on in this watch. I think, however, that the big size (45 MM) would help that a lot. I also am leaning toward the white (or silver or whatever it is); much easier to read and just looks better. But, I  also REALLY like rose gold, so the gold wouldn't be a bad second choice. I like the Trias a lot.

Jim

I own four Trias watches now, and I can tell you they are great watches, especially for the prices asked. This is my latest acquisition ($75 on eBay; water resistant to 500 meters):

It's approximately 44 mm from 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock. Marc from longislandwatch.com said he has some coming soon. I may look into the orange dial version as well. :)
