Get the white one. It sounds like the limited status of the black one is a big part of what attracts you to it, but the novelty of that will wear off very quickly and youll just be left with a watch that you probably dont like as much as the white one.


I think you right about the limited "story" .

I wanna say thx to anyone how helped me and i will post some pic's the day i have it 8) .

White- no brainer. Will go with many different occasions. White really looks like an amazing piece. :drool:

That dial is amazing. It looks just about as good as any watch I've ever seen.

One thing I will say though, after looking into these a bit further, I am turned off by the profile of these Spring Drive Chronograh pieces. The case design, IMO, is just a little too over the top. The machining and finish are clearly superb, but the piece comes off looking "chunky". Even the pushers are just a little bit too mushroomed...

In the end, I guess, I'd much prefer a more conservative peice. Good luck with the watch!

Well Bryan,

You definitely made the right decision. Your pictures of the White Dialled version just sing to me. Absolutely beautiful.

Even if the black version was DLC I would still pick the SS version because the whole idea behind the Ananta design is that it looks like a Japanese sword/knife from the side. This doesn't carry over with the black case for me.

I'm also a big fan of the SD movement. What a great acheivement from over 20 years of development.

Many congratulations.

Hi, have a question concerning the GMT hand (if I am correct the red hand with the "white" part). Should this not be in the middle of 2 and 3 as the big hand is around 30 minutes?

I had the idea that GMT was for a second time. Most time zones have 30 minutes or 1 hour difference and would expect with the local time on 4.30 the GMT hand is either on a whole number or half way two hours.
