Wow, didn't take much to flip you. I fear what the TRF enablers might do to you in the future!

Buy the one you like. They are different watches. Lord knows, many of us have a ton of black dials.

I'd go for the white Exp 42 over the black.

Sorry but I really like the watch, regardless what "The Prodigal Fool" thinks of the new upgrades. :)

Thanks for the video though.

I really like the white expy 2, but black is classy too. It comes down to the difference in dial and hands really. You will have a winner either way.

He's in the sweet spot with Darth! I can imagine he would have been like the below pic if he picked up the Storm Trooper dial!

Mmmmm! Martha is looking very svelte! Did she lose some weight!? Perhaps a meeting with Oprah is long overdue so she can take notes on how she should cook those lean meals!

I heard prison food is great for losing weight.

The meeting does need to happen. I'm surprised that there are such few gtgs in the NYC area.

Doesn't matter at this point if it was 1,000 to 1 in favor of the Storm Trooper dial because the OP (MYK) just joined the dark side by purchasing the Noir dial! To me those are the numbers that matter when cash is spent! ;-)

There are NYC gtg's all the time just not advertised as it's more very hardcore folks that are of the Patek and crazy vintage Rolex crowd. I will let you know on the next one we have for sure
