Personally, I'm a sucker for the transparent models. You never get that optical effect with a
link mechanical watch (unless you're going all-sapphire,
link in which
link case good for you) and I think it amplifies the barely-there feel of the watch overall. Yes, you will see your wrist hair through it, which if you’re like me isn’t an unsubstantial amount, but I don’t really care in this case. If it bothers you, just go for a solid case – I don’t want to lose you here just because of that.
