Ball Hydrocarbon Classic or Spacemaster?

[Ikemi]

My on-going dilemma continues ... I'm sure this is supposed to be easier!? I have had my heart set on the Hydrocarbon Classic I from day one and placed an order for one last week ... However it seems that the watch may take several more weeks to arrive and I now have a bit more cash to spend, so I could upgrade to something else, like a Spacemaster

Technically the Spacemaster is superior in everyway; better locking clasp, better bracelet, COSC certified ETA day-date movement, improved crown protection, more tritium tubes and a Super-Luminova bezel (rather than standard Luminova) ... However part of me still loves the EHC I for it's simplicity ... The girlfriend hates both!

So what do you think? What looks better aesthetically speaking? Vote now!

I can't manage both though!

Spacemaster. Nicer dial and bezel plus it looks great on the bracelet.
