Which Watch Do You Prefer?

I'm curious which of these two watches most people would prefer. Presuming that both are the same price, both are in excellent condition, both come with complete sets of box and papers.

The two watches would fill a niche in a collection for case shape and dial color.

1. Dubey & Schaldenbrand Gran Chrono Astro (with the embellished movement). Complete calendar, chronograph


2. Breitling Flying B with MOP indices, large date, small seconds

I’m a sucker for a moon phase. Never heard of the brand though.

There are two watches that I’ve never seen before.

It’s got to be number 1 for me.

They’re both amazing. I like the moon phase but also love outsize dates. I want both. I’d probably put them on leather straps.

I do not like either watch and would not buy one or the other. You should have add that to the poll. I did not vote.

Both looks very unique but a bit too big for a small wrist.

D&S would be my pick, but if you like those tonneau cases, then I'd take a look at Franck Muller too - especially if you enjoy a bit of whimsy.

X2 on Franck Muller in this category - is that case a must have with a bracelet? JLC Reverso?

Oh and sorry didn't vote either - there HAS to be a better option.

like breitling a lot, but definitely not that piece.
not a fan of rectangular cases in general, but that D & S is really nice

D&S +1. I’m a sucker for tonneau shaped cases and moon phases.
