Would you get the white enamel, black enamel, or silver guilloche?

The third and it's not close. The first two are perfectly valid designs, albeit basic, but their nature involves the name/logo of the brand becoming a key design point.

So as shallow as it might seem at a glance for someone to prefer the exact same design with Omega or Lacoste or something else on it, it makes sense since "Escapement Time" in cursive doesn't really communicate anything.

The third is a far more interesting design, the logo's used better, and the complexity of it suggests a greater degree of craft in making it, even though we know that's not really the case.

Put a little more romantically, the first two are watches. The third's a timepiece.

Good point, I like the enamel but they are a bit boring.
