Speedmaster: White vs Black

[PTCDAD]

I would vote both, but did vote white for this poll. The black is a true iconic watch, but the white seems to be visually stunning. I have the 3861 sapphire sandwich and just traded my blue, 2023 ‘57 speedy towards an Apollo 8. I thought I was done buying Speedmasters, but I just added my name and a deposit towards the white dial. Damn you Omega!

Curious why you sent the '57 packing? You just got it a few month ago right? The blue '57 is a gorgeous watch.

Great question. I asked myself the same thing. I did like it, and got it for a steal. I actually made money on the trade which is rare. I had my eye on the Apollo 8 for quite sometime, and din’t want to come out of pocket for the full amount when my local gray dealer got one in stock. Because I already had the 3861, I thought I didn’t need 3 speedies. Like every watch I trade, I regret it the next day.

I hear ya. It's part of the addiction of this hobby LOL. Your logic does make sense tho. Did you get the most recent Apollo 8 or its predecessor?

I purchased the old version at my gray dealer the morning the new version was announced. I found out as I was buying it.
