A true WIS would without a doubt pick the Speedmaster.

VICI · 8 October 2013, 07:07 AM

It's gotta have a date function

jatco · 8 October 2013, 08:45 AM

Tho I like the date function as I have it on both my DJ and Tudor, I wouldnt mind adding a Speedmaster to my collection.. but I dont see that happening any time soon, Unfortunately..!!

Wacker23 · 8 October 2013, 11:17 AM

I have the speedy sapphire. Love it.

damo_t · 8 October 2013, 01:31 PM

The Speedmaster Professional got my vote (and cash).

hpowders · 12 October 2013, 06:32 AM

Speedmaster Pro. Great legacy.

Lew Archer · 12 October 2013, 07:05 AM

Another vote for the Speedmaster. Great watch, great value, great story.

But get what really attracts you...

Speedy. It's legendary with a super clean look.

KBM · 14 October 2013, 10:01 AM

As others have said, if you go the Omega diver route, there are finer choices than that. Between these two, speedy.

jmc1080 · 25 October 2013, 08:22 AM

Speedy for me. If getting the smpc take the black one if it's a one watch deal.

Zman15 · 27 October 2013, 12:52 AM

No wrong decision here....pick the one that makes you smile!

DreambreaX · 28 October 2013, 03:28 PM

the 2nd one

venom43 · 29 October 2013, 12:59 PM

The speedy.....if your going to get a diver get the planet ocean.

Jack T · 1 November 2013, 08:29 AM

I am a fan of the Seamaster, no need for the sub dials. I like a clean simple look.

applebook · 9 November 2013, 06:16 AM

Speedy Pro by a Moon.

asadtiger · 9 November 2013, 06:56 AM

both are my absolute loves, and I would definitely add both to my collection one day, but my first was an SMP and Speedy would be my second, although Speedy is a bigger true classic but I needed a more water resistant thing...both are wonderful and I will get both one day

no wrong decision here :)

Tintmasterjon · 9 November 2013, 06:57 AM

seamaster in blue

Tintmasterjon · 9 November 2013, 07:02 AM

see

sea-dweller · 10 November 2013, 02:57 AM

The second one, for pure appearance.

Cboy038 · 24 November 2014, 10:55 AM

Seamaster fo sho.

andrewd · 24 November 2014, 11:04 AM

speedy by a mile

Rpcody · 24 November 2014, 01:25 PM

Heavyweight v Featherweight.

Speedy by KO.

watchmaniac · 25 January 2015, 05:23 AM

Need to revive this thread. I'm in the same boat. I own the SMPc and am seriously contemplating the speedy. Is the speedy a practical daily beater? The hand wind movement and hesalite seem to make it not. Who here has owned both; a seamaster auto and speedy? Chime in. I see that the majority here prefer speedy over SMP.

Is the speedy a larger watch?

Floorguy · 25 January 2015, 05:41 AM

I like this one.

BlackBay1 · 25 January 2015, 05:48 AM

I was looking at these two a few weeks back and it's a tough one. The dealer said if you are going to buy an Omega then buy the Speedmaster, it is undoubtedly one of if not the most iconic watches ever made. Looking at your other watches the Speedy would give you more variety but then again maybe you prefer diver watches? Good luck.

fania123 · 25 January 2015, 06:43 AM

Speedy, because it's a speedy.

estrickland · 25 January 2015, 07:12 AM

The Speedy by far.

Probably an outlier in the Omega forum, but I don't care for the skeletonized handset. If I was going to get a modern Omega diver it'd probably be the 2254.50.

Speedy is what I bought a few years ago, the plain white hands are easy to see for old eyes and I was amazed how good the lume is. Just something about the Speedy that I can't put in words.
