Great Pic

Great pic i am considering an 088 or a 104 what do you think. Is the 088 a better buy long term. I really like the simplicity of the 104 but the 088 looks stunning. Any opinions welcomed.

The 104 is a very nice looking watch.... but the 88 is a lot nicer specially up close in person! It is has arguably the most useful complication (GMT), less pieces arround than the 104 very desireable!
I just bought mine and I love it!!!
If you can find an 88 with an AD go for that.

I have the 104...and the 88's on my short list! Seems like there's a better chance of finding a 104 in the pre owned market..that the 88....although they do come up every now and then. Only issue is that you can get a discounted price on a pre owned 104...but basically pay list on a pre owned 88........oh well!
