I'd buy neither of the watches under consideration. For me clarity is everything and you can'd get much better than an IWC pilot's watch (especially when it's VAT free). Apparently the design is based on the JU 52 cockpit - sneaky Swiss sold them to the Luftwaffe during WW2 and us post war.
I like the plain ones best but the chronograph was all that was available when I went shopping. I'd always fancied a Breitling Navitimer but when I came to compare them the IWC won hands down (pun intended). Much greater clarity and much better for keeping an eye on the time when speaking at conferences. I happen to have pretty good peripheral vision and could always read it out of the corner of my eye without deliberately looking at it.
