champagne or black face BB S&G ?

Hi

I love the S&G but can’t decide on the different faces
The champagne is sexier and would bring me more joy during the working day :) but the black face, whilst still sexy, is more subtle and I would be more comfortable wearing it on holiday and swimming

If Tudor hadn’t brought out the satin face it would be much easier :)

what do you guys think ?

I love the champagne.
If had to choose would get champagne first
Or a GMT as the black watch rather than black S&G

Would recommend you try on as looks difrant in real life as the gold is quite dull and Matt in appearance..

As you have said the champagne will bring you joy .so would go with that one

I'd probably go Champers as I have had a lot of black dials.

I have owned the S&G black dial and it is a cool watch. I moved it on for something else that I wanted but I am number 1 on the list at my AD for the Champagne dial. I tried it on at a Tudor event and it is very nice. I will probably move that way when it is available.

For me it would be champagne, hands-down. So awesomely retro.

I've decided that the full-size BB is too large for me, but seeing that champagne dial at Basel this year got me looking seriously at an old Serti submariner.
