Speedmaster popularity

It seems that the Moon Watch is the most popular Speedmaster and a supposed "must have" in ones collection.

After getting one of those, which Speedmaster would come you want to have next?

Thanks but yeah.....there is a Speedmaster out there for everyone IMO, Omega has made so many of them....some of the more polarizing ones that I own and appreicate myself (though I think I gravitate toward the Gemini 4 the most):

Apollo Soyuz Meteorite:



CK2998:



Mitsukoshi (a mod in my case):

Possibly a vintage Speedmaster of historical significance.

Whoops. I didn't realize you specified
speedmaster.

So many iterations. So many options. As Sensui said, there is one for everyone.

But honestly the previous watches I posted get more wrist time for me. The beagle is no slouch though.

I'm sure it's just the picture heh....seems pretty close to me if you zoom in on mine hard enough lol (these days I take closer shots, that's an older pic). Nice to always meet other Omega/Rolex fans no matter which forum I'm on (omegaforums, wus etc)....I started collecting Omega watches before I fell for Rolex hook line and sinker last year and I'm happy to be a fan of both brands. Enjoy that beautiful Speedy my friend.
