It seem i prefer the number 2 as well. Contact Toro already and he said this watch is in stock.
Let's see other member comment

Number 2 for the dial, but I guess number 1 is a safer choice on the daily use because the ceramic bezel. The other bezel should get scratched easy I guess

I have ordered nr. 2 from InTime, and its on its way. I had the same dilemma, and chosen the SS, because of the flaw with the ceramic bezel.

Just because that flaw (the 7 "teeth") in the ceramic bezel of that particulary SS/Cer model (with numerals), I´m thinking in order the HBB SS/Cer with stickers. This way I avoid the SS bezel and the easy scratches :)
This one:

Following the images on puretime website, I can see that the ceramic bezel of this model has the 4 or 4,5 teeth:

I hope I´m gettin it right :)

But the pictures in puretime shows the correct bezel :/

Unfortunately those pics are from the original release of the V6 back in 2011. The brushed ceramic bezel and ice bang bezel had the correct 4.5 rows of teeth for the first year or so, then they all switched to 7 rows for some reason.

The SS numerals has a flawed bezel too. The sides are supposed to be polished, although that's fixable.
I'd still pick the SS too :)

I understand now.
But is it possible to ask TD to change the bezel to the correct one?
I guess this way... every HBB V6 has a flaw...
In these examples, I guess all of them have flaws :(

TD's do occasionally offer 4.5 row teeth ceramic replacement bezels for sale, so it's worth it to ask. Make sure to check if it will fit a V6 model.

Yes all have flaws, the closest one would be the SS evo, it's got almost everything right.

You say that SS evo is the closest because the accurate bezel?
So, if the TD manage to get a ceramic bezel with 4,5 row fitting the model I have chosen (the SS/Cer with stickers), is it truth to say that it gets the same accuracy as the SS evo?

Yes the SS evo IMO is the most accurate because of the bezel. It's also the simplest to replicate, just brushed steel, no fancy ceramic or bezel teeth.

But I would agree, if you could get the correct bezel on the SS/Cer it would be just as accurate and look amazing!
