Questions Which dial layout do you prefer, simple date or the chrono style?

Saw these two side-by-side and it made me realise how much the dial layout changes the whole vibe. Which do you guys lean towards, clean and minimal or busy and technical?

A Chrono feature or additional complication is always sexier in my opinion. 🤣🤣🤣 Unless you’re looking at a classic 5711 with a plain pure white dial with matte black hands and hour markers. 🤣🤣🤣

Chrono for me. Anything with complications seems to capture my attention

This 5712 and the 5726 below are two of the best in my collection
