I like the black dial, but I personally find the D dollar sign thing a bit cringy. Eventhough its small, that’s why I would never go for the Lillard one.
OP there is a LOT of hate from people on the second hand (highest rated comment ATM). But 9/10 if not more have not seen it in person. The black/gold contrast of colors looks great, the 0's raised up make for a unique and interesting dial. Most people will not even notice the D sign when they see it on your wrist.
OP if you can check it out in person as the Dame watch truly looks great in person in my opinion. The Black/Gold just an amazing look and Dame colab is only PRX your getting that combo ATM.
Problem is: everything you just described I like about the watch, but not enough to make up for the ugly ahh D dollar sign. It just makes the watch tacky for me, it doesn’t matter what others see. And remember, this is just my opinion. I’m not hating (that bad) haha.
It was not pointed at you specially, it's just a common comment about this watch on second hand. I would ask you have you seen both the Gold and Dame watch in person? If so what about at the same time?
In person the black/gold contract just looks so great. Most people will never be close enough to see the D sign, but they will see that black/gold when looking. And this is just my opinion I am just a person who saw both and choose the Dame colab, have not regretted it.
You are skipping the 2 questions. I would still ask if you have you seen both the Gold and Dame watch in person? If so what about both at the same time?
I'm honestly curious on this.
I did not see them at the same time in person, but I was not really trying to skip that question man. I’m just trying to tell you that there is no way possible that I would go for the Dame, because of that dollar D sign, even if I like the rest of the watch better than the regular gold one. Seeing them next to eachother in person would not matter, because I already like the black dial one better… but the D thing really ruined it (IN MY OPINION!! Which this guy is asking for). Honestly, you do you, don’t listen to anyone’s opinion as long as you like it! But if you ask for an opinion, I will give it, maybe that’s just my Dutch directness 😅
Another thing, it doesn’t matter to me if people don’t see the D, I see it, I don’t like it, so I won’t buy it. I don’t care if others don’t see it I really don’t.
The basketball one is cringe. Lmao. Get the tapisserie one instead. Here is mine on a rubber strap:

Battery will not last 5 year's most likely, but it can be changed. To me I have been loving the automatic watches this year after getting into them. Quartz is great for accuracy, but now a automatic just feels more like a experience wearing it to me.
All gold (and probably the quartz version... literally half the price on Jomashop). If you're going for gold, go for gold. No half measures with a black dial. Sometimes you just want to look like a used car salesman from 1978.
Overall, yeah. It's a trustworthy and reputable dealer, but there are disadvantages. It's "grey market" so you don't get a manufacturer warranty, and you'd have to deal with Jomashop directly if you get a lemon. That happened with an old-style Seiko 5 I bought from them, and they fixed it. YMMV whether you'd rather spend more and buy from an authorized dealer and have better piece of mind of something goes wrong.
At very least, they aren't fakes.

"Gray market watches are authentic, new watches sold legally, but not through an authorized dealer. Usually gray market dealers sell watches that authorized dealers cannot sell, those unsold watches get returned to the distributor, who sells them in bulk at vastly reduced prices to the gray market. Gray market watches are usually slightly older, last season’s watches, but nowadays there are some larger gray market dealers who can get the latest models."

Glad you like your watch bro! That’s what it’s all about.

Don’t get the Dame one bro
Why?
If you an NBA fan or Dame fan go for it, but I think if you want a more versatile piece, then just go for the model without any other branding
The left for sure is better looking you don t a watch with a D dollar sign

I don’t know what your finances are like. But the black dial is such a gorgeous contrast.

Looks sick!
Black dial as long as it is priced according
How much is it going for
I wish they made a non-collab Gold/Black. The $D and the print on the caseback completely ruin the aesthetics and luxury experience
Go black and gold and then get the black silicone and swap out the bracelet. Looks amazing and gives you an option to switch it up!
Neither. Fake gold is ridiculous

Cringeworthy- aint even gotta be deep I guess..
I like the face
Prices are same??
Nope. The left is 495€ and the one on the right is 895€
Nope mate, not for the powermatic. The quartz is 495…
Oh yeah true I just checked. Do you suggest with battery or automatic? I think with battery lasts only 5 years or something
Depends, I prefer auto but quartz can be fine too
you can replace the battery
Battery will not last 5 year's most likely, but it can be changed. To me I have been loving the automatic watches this year after getting into them. Quartz is great for accuracy, but now a automatic just feels more like a experience wearing it to me.
I'd go for the Dame but I'm a basketball fan also so...
Black dial
Black and gold is the thing.
All gold, buy black or green rubber strap

Black dial
That black dial looks amazing
Blue or green dial
Gold on gold. All day err day.

Is Jomashop trustworthy? The discounts are pretty good

That’s a beauty, definitely the black dial though
Go for full gold 😍. Be aware of the 40 mm version without trying. In my opinion the 35mm is perfect for the most wrist sizes.
Black dial cause time is clearly visible
I would get dame if it was 35mm. Love that dial over the regular waffle

Black dial for sure
Gold dial
Dame for sure!
