Otto Hutt Design 08 Silver or Black?

[batita]

Hi there,

I need some help. Should i go to the silver or black version? I know it's a question of personal preference but does anyone know if the silver version is more durable and less scratchy than the black version?

 

Thank you so much

What a modern design! Anodizing is a very reliable metal treatment nowadays, I think. I say that because my black Pilot Vanishing Point got dented after falling on the ground 😢 and didn't lose any color at all.

Silver, to show off the vertical lines on the cap, and horizontal lines on the barrel.

Black, to keep all those lines to yourself.

I've got both the sterling silver and black PVD versions of the Design 07 and love them both but if I had to choose one it would be the silver.  The size of the 08 means I won't be buying it but aesthetically the black appeals to me more than the silver looking (actually ruthenium) one.  I think you'd probably find both versions equally hard-wearing.
