I've got the SS version and my dealer asked me to upgrade to the WG version with leather strap.

both look great, what would you choose?

tnx ahead

White gold resembles SS too much IMO, to justify the exorbitant price difference...

I can only go by the 16519 Zenith variant, but it's my first WG watch and the difference between that and SS is unbelievable.

SS. It's tougher. I'd take the change and get the new gmt and something else.
