    Which model? Recommendations

    Hello everyone.
    I am undecided between these two models, what do you think?
    Are also open to new suggestions. I also ask you to propose me similar models bearing in mind that I would not spend more than 350 euros.

    Thanks in advance

    ps: right now I prefer quartz rather than
    mechanic

    I prefer the second one,the first is a bit too fussy for me.

    I agree. Maybe it's my old eyes.

    Same here. I have a Blue Angels, which has a dial far from plain, but the first one is way too busy.

    You want a chronograph with date, as both have these functions. Do you need the additional information provided by #1? If so, then your decision is made. If not, then #2 is a cleaner and more classic watch. IMO, it would be #2, hands down. Cheers!

    My decision is only a question of aesthetics.
    I really like the second except the No 6 cut and, perhaps, the excessive size.

    The cut on the number 6 is not an uncommon thing; a watch "convention", if you will. You may decide ultimately that you don't care for it, but it is found on many watches with a subsidiary dial close to the 6 position.

    Second one looks cleaner and less cluttered.
