A poll, just for fun...

Black...

​

or
White...

​

...and no, getting both is not an option.​

 

There goes my answer.

Seriously, black. In 30 or 40 years the guys that have replaced us will be killing each other to buy it - so keep the box & papers.

 

I will go for the black one but given a choice , I will go for neither. Don't think they will be as collectible as the 89, 85 or 83. So I give those three higher priority.

 

Black dials rule.........IMO

 

I suspect that back in the 50/60s many folks were not weighing the future collectability factor on their decision to buy these watches [89, 85, or 83]. I think they got their watches based on looks and craftsmanship…I think.

 

I do. I don't want some schmuck owning a watch I've cared for since new. I guess I have to keep a closer eye on my nephews to see who's more likely to have enough interest to be the next steward for my collection.

 

I'm doing the same! he he

 

Would you consider me as your nephew?

 

hmm.. I can picture this combo, and I like the idea......

 

Funny, it looks like it's just LouS and I who prefer the white. There must be something Zenithy about it.
