Which Santos?
Deciding between these 2 pieces. I love classic stainless, but I think they did a great job with the black adlc this year. Both versatile watches. Thoughts?

I chose the ADLC and couldn't be happier.

I think the ADLC is stunning but I’m a sucker for the classic and would choose that. Can’t go wrong either way and I think you would be very happy, rightfully so, with either. Good luck with the decision and please share pics

Do you use leather strap?

Good point. Was thinking the same thing, but always flip at last minute. Thanks for your help!

No, I don't since the rubber strap meets my usage for this watch. The QuickSwitch system is great, though, and you can change the personality of the watch from sporty to dressy quickly and easily.

Perfectly put. It's a really difficult decision as they're both so good - you can't go wrong with either

Great watch, but I would only get one that also came out with metal bracelet. I love the metal bracelet on the Santos. It looks and feels great! Good luck with whatever you decide. I ended up choosing the stainless steel model with the blue dial.

To me I really like the TT Santos. Has a very cool vintage vibe!

Is the ADLC much more costly than stainless steel.

It costs $600 more. I like the look, but I would only do it if they did an ADLC bracelet rather than a rubber strap.
