Would you rather?

A 118206 glacier Roman new clasp

Or a 5711 white

For daily wear?

Opportunity for both but only one can have the spot!

I'd prob put the pres on a strap to bling down

Tough choice!!!!

I voted for the 5711. I think that white dial is spectacular, while still being a nice fit for most daily activities. Just my opinion.

DD is too small for me, but if it fits you, then grab that one.

I like the 5711, but that's me.

I would be torn, but think the platinum DD would win out.

Good luck.

It's a tougher choice for everyone except Mike, he already has both! Go with the one you love best!

Tough choice.... I do know that if I went for the DD it would be with glacier stick dial, and if the 5711 would be blue dial....

Glacier DD 118206 and no need to put on strap as watch is very understated given white metal when on wrist.
