Can't decide -- help!

Which do you prefer between these two and why?

1) Datejust 16200 or 16220 just like this one:

http://www.demesy.com/p/51426.html

2) Date 115200 just like this one:

http://www.europeanwatch.com/12426.htm

I can't decide. I don't know which looks better in person. The minor size difference between a Date and Datejust isn't a factor with me, nor is the cost difference.

I hope posting links isn't against the rules ...

I like the 2nd one but I'd go 36mm Datejust instead of Date. Model 116200-SSO

I definitely think the Datejust 16220 looks better. I like the machined bezel.

My vote is for the DATE; just wish it was a tad bit bigger.

Agreed. It has a very clean, uncluttered look and I like it.

Personally, I like the Datejust, it's a tad bigger than the Date. Either way you can't go wrong!

I prefer datejusts over date models. However, of those two, I like the date (smooth bezel). Not a big fan of the engine turned steel bezel on the datejust.
