Well, question quality, both cases are made in Germany so... It's all good.
But I allways loved the blue second hand on the Kobold and like better it's bezel.
After that, the original price is too high in my meaning: I hope that you get a good deal

I like that the UTS is made pretty much all in one place, but the AD is just so darned good looking.

I voted for the UTS based on it's look. It goes better with either a strap or bracelet and I like how the dial has two layers that add depth.

Yes! That dial is something. I like the v1, but this one is better IMO
Plus: after wearing the Wilson 2k, I like the way the 22mm strap works with it

Scott, I'm very partial to the robustness of the Kobold. I just think it's a timeless design, too. I'll click on the vote box.

Kobold all the way here...having owned both it lives up to the hype imo....both are awesome watches but the UTS is not practical to those of us who like variety in our strap choices...to you being a strap maker it may be OK but otherwise not...both brands are overpriced imho and the secondary market is where I would be looking unless Kobold has another anniversary sale when the Arctic Diver was $1895. ... it's hard to even find one at that price anymore...ThumbsUp02.gif

This is definitely a tough decision Scott!crap.gif

Like Skipdawg, I'm very tempted to just use a coin flip to make the decision....But, you did pick my absolute favorite Kobold at the moment with the choice of Arctic Diver...so AD it is!thumbsup.gif
