Tough choice..

So I got the call for a olive day date in rose but I’m also waiting for a eisenkiesel day date as well. Unfortunately I can only keep one. I love both dials with a very slight preference for the green dial since green is my favorite color. Definitely first world problems. Which would you guys choose in this Predicament?

If you already have the opportunity to get the olive at retail, don’t pass on it.

Go for olive - no telling how long an Eisenkiesel dial will take to show up.

Get the olive green now especially if it’s at retail price! In situations like this, I always pick the one I’ve wanted longer.

I have the RG olive and plan on adding the Eisenkiesel w/ diamond bezel eventually. I think they both can belong in the same collection.

I’m not a fan of baguettes, so I’m old-fashioned, and prefer the green.

I’d take the Olive RG in this case - who knows how long it will take for other to show up.

Prefer the olive… but which do you like?

I assume if you decide to wait your wrist won’t be empty as this isn’t likely a first ever watch buy. ;)

Tough choice..

Lol this thread is 99.9% green as is my vote. Only exception is a poster above telling you to be unique on a forum (which is the least important deciding factor IMO). If you are going to listen to the forum to help make your decision, it seems pretty clear! Green is stunning btw.

I actually prefer the black dial. The green is nice but I think I would tire of it.

Have you seen it in person? If not, the green, while definitely olive, has a sunburst style striation in it. It’s unreal in person.
