As I don't own either of the watches and have never handled either, my comments are purely speculative and only my opinion.
If it were me, I would have the Limes. I love the bubble gum blue color of the dial, the Ickler case and the simplicity of the dial. If you don't speak German it is a bit meaningless until you think a moment and realize you are looking and a 1000m auto. I have a thing for the word "automatik" with a K. I would bet my left one the fit and finish would be above and beyond excellent.
The B-42 is cool and I know how you love those white dials with the skeleton hands like your Ball, but somehow it falls short for me when compared to the Tauschsend. I can't put my finger on it and it is just my opinion, but the Fortis pales next to the Limes.
Perhaps its the wter resistance though we both know neither of us is going anywhere 200m much less 1000m unless we have drown.
I think both are sleepers... they don't bowl you over until a closer look and then you realize you are in the presense of greatness.
Again, not to offend anyone, just my opinion and I am a known to be an imbecile.
