The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I believe this is a small detail and goes from personal taste but anyways since i am pulling the trigger on a poc 9300 this week, i am curious what the general crowd out there thinks, i like the chrome but when it gets light into it, in the dark it simply disappears and leaves the dial a bit blank, whit the anodized orange it always have something present on top of the dial and goes well whit the orange chrono hands and seamaster lettering

2 options

1-black dial whit chrome 12

2-Black dial whit anodized brushed Orange 12



please help me to choose

I like the orange 12. I like the bit of extra color it gives the dial. And brings out the orange in the subdials.

+1.

one thing i like besides the orange match whit the subdial hand/big second hand and seamaster lettering is the fact that the 12 is not painted orange like older version, but its anodized and also have reflection depending the light, very cool detail

i like the chrome as well, just hate the fact that when at night whit poor lighting the top 12/omega lettering and symbol simply disappear leaving the dial look strange
like this one

Still, i'd go chrome and leave the orange details at a minimum. Just cleaner in my opinion.

Same here. I like the cleaner look of the chrome.

funny how things work out... had a 99% made deal for a orange 12 but the deal was not closed and i am iminent for a silver 12 better specimen in mint condition

Go chrome, enough orange details as it is (Seamaster, sub dial hand). I love this watch, especially the blue dial, liquidmetal, titanium version!!! What a gorgeous looking piece.

+1 For that touch of orange that sets it apart just enough.

Chrome looks a little more classy on that dial IMO.

well the trigger has been pulled... on the silver 12 on bracelet now the wait

i am confident i made a good choice considering the watch overall, i believe its a fine machine from omega whit a reliable inhouse movement

Late to the party, but I would have gone chrome as well.
