Speedmaster pro vs 57??? Which to get first?

Having a real tough time choosing here...love them both, want them both, can only get one at this time, the other will have to wait. Leaning towards the Speedy pro, (sandwich, love to see the movement) but the 57 is so freaking cool!!! What do you all suggest? Thanks!

I say speedy pro. But as cool as the sandwich is for the movement view, I say hesalite. Now milky ring and it just looks cooler looking at he dial from an angle. Plus it more true to the history of the watch. Compare them side by side and you can tell. Remember the movement side will be strapped to your wrist most of the time so you wont see it as much as the hesalite crystal. JMO

Professional, haselite. Really no other choice. I’ve tried other Speedmaster models over the years but the Pro really is the icon
