Omega Seamaster Chrono - Blue or Black?

[frankhovis]

Went to my local Omega AD on Saturday to try on a Seamaster Chrono (Planet Ocean chrono is too big for my skinny wrists). I had pretty much made my mind up on this watch and was having a blue one (although not necessarily from there). They had both colours so I thought I would try them both just to see. I'm now well and truly undecided what colour to have. The black one looks a lot nicer on the wrist that it does in any pic I've seen.

Having come away empty handed, I've looked through most of the used watches and it seems there are very few black ones about. Is this colour less popular and would it be difficult to sell on?

I was also thinking a Seamaster should be blue, just because of what it is. The black one was surprisingly good looking though. I really can't decide at the moment.

There's a lovely Black one on TZ at the moment at a reasonable price

Will have a look. I discovered last night the gestapo at work have now blocked access to any forums so I've only just read the replies. Cheers.

I think I'm favouring a black one. I'm not too bothered about potential re-sale as I'm fairly sure it will be a 'keeper'. Just got to find a good one now. However, my local AD are doing 3 years interest free, which is bloody tempting.

That is a very nice watch, escpecially at that price. It's actually the chronograph I'm after though, should have made it clear from the start. Apologies.
