Can't make up my mind (WorldTimer).

I really want a WorldTimer, but can't decide which one.
Which one would you have chosen?

Basically, I like the dark blue, but every time I'm in the store, it doesn't quite match the experience from various pictures and YouTube videos.

I think the dark blue is the nicest and has the best legibility. It will always look different outside of the store because they tend to have peculiar lighting compared to most places.

Are you really going to shell out the best part of 10K on a watch based on what colour strangers on a forum prefer?
FWiW I prefer the dark blue also

I like the dark blue best and think it captures the color of the ocean on the map. The black version is pretty cool too though
if you’re into the blacked out look.

Hi
I bought the titanium grey version about a week ago. I went to see the other colours in a shop. I don’t like green and the blue wasn’t as striking as the grey IMHO.

Here are my terrible photos 🙁 I absolutely love it and it fits well in my collection.

I saw some strange and disgusting shit (literally) about "dubai porta potty" last night and now that city's name jumped at from the dial.

Maybe if when you actually have it in hands it doesn't satisfy, you might reconsider buying this model at all? I remember lusting after the Moonwatch Professional Moonphase Aventurine in pictures, but whenI tried it on in the store was deeply unimpressed, it looked very cheap under the store lights. Decided it just wasn't right. No regrest about that (although now I read it is "rare" to find one?)

PS - there is another recent thread all about world timers on this forum, lots of cool models in there.

What about this Nomos?

Crazy lug length… fwiw dark blue is the best, but if you can afford it go for the sedna gold white dial

I have the blue and absolutely love it. Like others, I agree that the colors best represent its theme but color is a very personal preference.

I get what you mean by being underwhelmed by the watch in pictures after seeing the online pictures and videos. It was the same for me after I bought it, but then as I wore it more, I started realizing how boring other watches were starting to look.

It's a stunningly beautiful watch. The zoomed in, curated photos and videos exaggerate its features, but it's all there in the small package.

I think it looks best on the strap but I recently put my Speedy bracelet on it and I'm really enjoying it.

Do you have a pic with the speedy bracelet on it? I have recently purchased the worldtimer bracelet which I am enjoying after two years on the rubber but I don’t think I have ever seen a speedy strap on it before. Interesting

Dark blue for me too. I always try and take the watch near the windows and some natural light to see how it will look in normal circumstances, with permission of course. Shop lights are weird.

It's not a perfect fit. As you can see, the end links fit a bit recessed and extend a hair beyond the end of the lugs but this doesn't really bother me - I really like the way it goes with the watch.

I for one prefer the polished bezels, so the Blue/light blue would be my preference. Light blue is a little more difficult to 'pull off' in a 'sports watch' situation, but it too is beautiful!

A coworker has the dark-blue and it is fantastic in person. I only don't have it because of how large it is, I only have a ~6.5" wrist, so it feels comically large (though the person I know has a smaller wrist, so *shrug*).

Those are really nice pictures IMO, and they make it very appealing.

If it helps, the Summer Blue variant shows some lovely contrasting dark blues in natural light. I too like the dark blue but happy with the SB for the time being.
