How do you rank the trilogy

Hey guys,

Let's consolidate the discussion here. So how do you see them? The tombstone on the trilogy quickly distinguished any thoughts I had on the box. All these appear to be clear winners, of course any of this is subject to change based on actually seeing them IRL. Here's how i rank em - how bout you?

Speedie
SM
RM

I don't have real conviction on that order as they are all spectacular it appears

The 'live' impression is different. I keep the same order but now I'm not so sure about the polished lugs and the brushed/polished bracelet.

Yeah, these are gonna shine. More than I'd like too. But, should be great for smart casual.
Don't forget the secondary straps will tone it down for weekend use

My thoughts exactly. It's just a matter of time before the polished bits get a little scratched up and start to look better, and in the meantime there will be the supplied straps for more casual times.

The Speedmaster is just perfect. You can't please everyone with reissues. Some like a vintage touch in a new package. Others want a carbon copy of the old model. I can't count how many times I've read posts that read something like, "I wish <manufacture> would just make the same watch they did 50 years ago..." or to that effect. Well here you have it! We should all applaud Omega for giving many of us what we've always wanted with these three pieces. BRAVO!

I'm a die hard dive watch fan, so SM300>Speedy>RM for me. But I truly disliked the bracelet polishing on these. Actually, I think I prefer the 41mm regular production version of the SM300, if you're going to have a polished bracelet anyway (sandwich dial is a nice touch on the regular model).

Or maybe I'll just stick with this...
