    If i didn't have an original MKII with the racing dial I'd probably pick that dial. But Ultraman is no slouch either, it hits all the right notes.

    I have a deposit on the moon landing 50th anniversary speedy which has yet to make an appearance. If I like that watch, it will be my choice. Otherwise, I'm leaning to the Racing. I have a standard moon watch now so the grey face of the Racing would be different for me. I'm going to Tokyo in June and will be visiting several of the well know watch resellers - maybe I'll find one there? If not, I can wait for one to show up.

    I really appreciate everyone's responses. Seems like people are very passionate about both of these awesome watches.

    Japan racing is subjectively more special. But the AML, step dial, DON bezel, and that insane seconds hand just push the Ultraman to the top for me.

    I love the Ultraman. That's a special watch. Definitely want one of the ST3 models.

    I like the colours of the ultraman, but the running seconds hand and cartoon character in the seconds dial bug me no end. So my vote is for Japan racing.

    ST2 for me for the better contrast with the black dial and a better (lower) proportion of the accent colors.

    Of those two, the Japan racing gets my vote.

    Japan Racing for me, and it’s not even close!
    I own the ST1, but the ST2 does nothing for me.
