What others did you try on?

Agreed. The one on the left is also the better looking and better proportioned watch too. IMHO of course.
I didn't try on anything else as nothing else really grabbed me. They had the new steel Sky Dwellers, but they looked massive. And they didn't have any steel Daytonas available. I could have tried on a rose gold Yachtmaster, but that had danger written all over it for me, so I stayed well away!

Vostok SE today.
Apologies for not getting the date right, but it doesn't have quickset.

Looks good Guy, I do like a bit of colour.

That's the reason I sometimes put my vintage Zenith back in the box - no quickset date and if it's more than a few days out, I'll put it back and get it out a few days or weeks later... sad I know, but I do like having the date correct.

It does! Wind until the date changes at 12.00, then back to 8.00, then forward to 12.00 and it will change again. Repeat the back-and-forward winding until you have the right date.
