Hey Big Crown Club - looking for your expert advice. I want to get BC red triangle rep, so I'm going back and forth between the Tempus Machina and Black Bay.

• Both are the same price ($288) from TD. Movements are A2836 (TM) and A2824 (BB).
• The BB V5 reps' hands and indicies look fantastic, but the dial and printing appear a bit flat. Bezel looks great, nice pip, but the triangle is a bit dark. Not a Rolex rep, so could easily sneak into the collection without the wife noticing
• The TM on the other hand, printing looks decently gilty plus has a lovely red line, however the indicies looks a bit flat. No bezel pip, and the triangle looks overly red. Like the fact that its a less common model.

So, all that said, I'm leaning towards the BB whose the biggest cons are the less than perfect dial and a less than red red triangle. I've already got a gilt MKII GMT in the collection, so perhaps the rosier gilt of the BB will stand out more positively, whereas the TM gilt might not shine so well compared to the MKII.

Anyone have experience with both? Side by side photos? Care to talk me out of the BB? Anything I overlooked?

Nice
The pearl needs to be changed in my opinion.

It's just an eBay pearl,didn't fancy dropping $50 dollars extra on Yuki's one, I have a few from athaya on the way but it's ok for now
