Pictures of each watch would be very helpful in helping you decide which would be more attractive to collectors. However, in the end it's whichever one you like the most.

If it was me I would choose the 7928 out of those two even though the insert is a lil chipped up for my liking... I was looking at it also.

I prefer, and have, a 9411/0. The square plots and "snowflake" hands are so popular they reissued it on what, three different new model watches?

Classic industrial design that I feel will always be in demand- but I bought it because I love it, not what the "market" may or may not do...

Can't go wrong with either. But a blue snowflake is a stunner.

I would prefer a blue snowflake, not because of collectibility but because I like it.

Flake looks great but has had some water/moisture intrusion

7928, if it were a PCG, would be a landslide. But it is a 64, so while worth a little more than the (beautiful) flake, it is not too much more.

Both fun pieces, the flake is a little less normal

Snowflakes have a great following. A really perfect glossy gilt pointed crown guard would still be my choice. m
