The weight, feel, warmth and depth of WG is fantastic. I do love the look of SS and appreciate the eliteness of the vintage.

I've had a couple glasses of wine so I'll say this: there's nothing like the "FU" feeling of having WG on your wrist.

In another post today I said I have a TT GMT on the way. But I already have a WG in the fleet. Basically you can't make a mistake. Pretty cool spot you're in!

I prefer new, even if it was stainless too. I am also impressed by those that stand by historical pieces.

WG, imo. Such a cool piece. I'm too worried about wearing vintage watches all the time. I'd rather get a nice leather strap and wear them sparingly.

should have a poll? I feel in the minority, but I actually prefer the darker colors of the BLRO rather than the vintage pepsi, even if the BL looks purple sometimes.

I like new and can't say no to precious metal.
Vintage = high maintenance

You need a poll for those things.

I would take the new because I am not really a vintage guy.

Why not both; they don't come close to occupying the same niche.
