Grey Side of The Moon vs Blue Side of The Moon

Hi all,

I'm thinking of adding a ceramic Speedmaster to my collection.
I narrowed down to 2 models:

Grey Side of The Moon

or Blue Side of The Moon


I think the Grey one is more versatile allowing me to ware it with a semi-formal attire sometimes.
It also flies more under the radar.
The Blue one has the Moonphase complication which is a real killer for me.
Plus I can't resist that blue.

I can't make up my mind.
Any advise?

Even though I'm a sucker for blue watches (especially Omega's shade of blue), I'd have to go for the Grey Side Of The Moon. In my opinion, the blue case is juuuuust a little tad too much for my liking (same reason I dislike the Big Blue POs). the grey case is a little more balanced; I would be hard pressed to decide between Grey and Dark side even.. so my blabla aside, GREY :)

I didnt realise then even did a blue ceramic speedy. Out of all these versions the bit that irks me is the ....side of the moon. Its just stupid. Its like naming each variation of the Planet ocean. Theres a new thread idea by the way. Shallow part of the ocean (light blue case). Having said that, I actually like the blue version in your post. Its certainly going against the grain which is always better in my eyes. Who wants to walk into anywhere and spot the same watch on someone else (shudders). Ive seen a few GSOM around but the blue is a first.

I would pick the GSOTM without a second though. But what I would pick is pretty irrelevant. It's not like one watch is the best while the other is trash, so it really comes down to what you like. You sound like you love the blue, so go for the blue. If you have concerns about whether or not you'll love it down the road, then give yourself a month or two before buying to make sure you're really sold on it.

This, after taking a week and hitting 91% vote for GSOTM. You should buy one now :-d
