Easy for me and one of my grails :drool: Afraid price would be the determining factor you me though.... You should be able to get a serious discount on both now. Seen one similar over here for around 15K recently which was pushing 22k at one stage.

When in doubt, go for gold. Two tone really just looks good on Rolexes... Aside from that the question remains if gold is really something someone should make a Chronomat from... But I think that's down to personal preference...

Two-tone for me by miles. That one was (and probably still is) my favourite Chronomat ever made.

All gold sports watches are just too bling and gauche for me. I guess it's better than being on a gold bracelet (absolutely hideous and OTT), but the TT version is so much nicer IMHO.

JMO of course.

Agreed on the bracelet but a white dialled Daytona or Evo, even that Chronomat on Croco :drool: :drool: :drool: .....Classy not Blingy :poke: :lol:

Both are beautiful but me personally would not spend that much money on a gold Breitling. I don't feel like it would hold it's resale value vs lets say, a gold Rolex.

To offer input into your question - of the two I like the TT better.

My vote is the Gold....although like them both, but gold and black is such a nice combo. I agree with Driver 8 on it being OTT if on gold bracelet, but on that black croc it looks great and what an awesome discount on brand new. Good luck with your selection.
