They each are calling out to me and I can't quite decide which is more compelling...

Both are great watches, Grey for me because...

I have mostly black dial Chronos, so Grey works as a diversity. Moreover, I think the Moon looks Grey, seriously :)) Rgds Raymond

Grey

I also would choose grey without doubt , nicer for me , very different to the rest of the line , more exclusive I think , anyway the one you choose will be a fantastic watch

I choose the Dark Side because ...

It feel more mysterious and sexy than the Grey. Love this watch. Cheers, Nilo ...  

Grey for me

 
 By: vitalsigns : March 10th, 2015-12:36
Grey seems more distinctive than the DSOTM, especially since virtually all other Speedmasters have black dials and bezels. All-black watches seem a bit played out (just my opinion, much like my view of all black rims on a black car). Grey looks more expen... 

Grey and here is why

 
 By: kevster : March 10th, 2015-14:57
First of all the unspoken, luminous bezel and crown? Wow that's new and I must say very cool, new. Secondly the stainless or Ti bracelet will fit I suspect. Third black or blue is so last year and last got Lunar Dust? Grey says I. But I'm a white light di... 

Only the Grey has the dial in Solid Platinum, PT950!

And it is the very first watch with luminova on the bezet! The Dark Side is looking like to me an outdate model without the luminova on the bezel. Marcus-Valerio

If it was my money, it will be grey Sir!

no doubts absolutely, it just looks better and unique! Good luck deciding.

Grey..

for a bit more sophistication and the pt. 'lunar dust'. cheers fernando

We have seen soooo many black watches ...

in the last years and therefore it gets kind of common. The Grey Moon offers some kind of understated/subtle beauty which I like a lot: Cheers, Oliver ...  

Thanks, all. wow such overwhelming preference for grey! But I have to agree

with comment about DSOTM and the contrast... wow might have to live with both for awhile... thanks, TM

DSOTM

 
 By: 41northpole : March 11th, 2015-07:41
I prefer this one because of the contrast in the dial; very black and very white. That contrast is lost on the grey version. I have seen both and tried them both on. Black version is very dynamic in viewing compared with the grey, which is very subtle rea... 

Tough call . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 11th, 2015-12:00
[Andrew D sporting DSOTM, June '14] . . . but I've gotta lean towards the grey side, Thomas; less prominent and more versatile, likely the better long-term solution. Art ...  

DSOM for Moi

I have a question for you Bezel on the Grey ?? If so this is not the 1st time this has been done,unless your referring to Omega's 1st time w/ such bezel. I have to go w/ the Black pure beauty in my eyes + the strap alone just does something for me,but as... 

Grey because it's not black

 
 By: kolosstt : March 16th, 2015-13:09
Beautiful dial and grey is indeed a bit more out of the ordinary while fitting into a wide range of occasions.

I had the same dilemma.

 
 By: Vilit : March 16th, 2015-19:53
Eventually I bought both! ...  

Thanks again, all, I'm leaning towards the same solution Vilit chose...

 
 By: ThomasM : March 18th, 2015-19:10
and agree, though I like white, the wsotm is too white...

well..you got 4 other choices..

 
 By: ocwatching : March 19th, 2015-14:50
that Omega decided to pump out... are you more confused now Thomas?

can you say, "overmilked?"

 
 By: ThomasM : March 19th, 2015-23:41
no, not confused, too blatant... :-)

If it's worth doing...

 
 By: dxboon : March 26th, 2015-22:20
...it's worth overdoing, right? Watch companies have never left one dime on the table when they find a winning trend. Cheers, Daos PS -- Dark side for me.

I chose DSOTM

 
 By: willski : March 26th, 2015-21:15
I chose the DSOTM - actually just picked it up yesterday whilst on holiday. Reasoning was as follows: 1. (Most important) Wife said GSOTM was "similar" to my other watches so I should get something different and unique, and she thought it looked nice. Cho...
