Omega! Complements your collection in terms of color. I think the Black Bay would be redundant, even though they are both technically dive watches.

The latest SMPs are a triumph and that white dial is no exception, I think Rolex should release this config in Subc form, would be a huge hit and a great way to boost things next year, plus then they don't have to mess with the WG Smurf.

I'd personally choose the BB58 for myself, but the Omega provides a really nice contrast to what you already have.

Whilst the Omega is no doubt the 'better' watch, if I had your collection then my choice would be the BB58.

Reason for this is that the watch would, for me, fulfill the role of rugged, not afraid to scratch it up, adventure watch, and in my mind the Tudor suits that role better. It's just that bit less expensive and less refined.

I would also likely wear the watch less regularly than some of the others, possibly only on weekends, and so would appreciate not having a date to contend with.

The Omega to diversify the collection.

Was not aware of this white dial SMP (very good looking, googling it as we speak). Would choose that over the BB58, but ultimately it’s about what sings to you the most.

This! I actually went to get this exact configuration but made the mistake of trying on the blue with blue rubber and was smitten.

On the plus side I still have a spot for a white faced watch in my collection :)

Omega hands down. Better looking and much better movement.

That omega looks nice at first glance. However, I don’t like the bracelet, the date window cutout just looks terrible IMO, it would annoy me every time I looked down and 42mm is too large for my liking (I would need to try it on).

Hands down, I would pick 58. Not to mention, like all Omegas, you take a bath on resale. 58 is selling 2nd hand at or around MSRP (although people pretend like this isn’t important - to many, it is).

Seamasters are like cookies. I can never get enough of them.

I have the Omega and it’s not only stunning but incredible value when you think about the METAS movement, Ceramic bezel, anti-magnetic etc.....so that’s what I voted for.

The SMP, but on rubber strap. Looks and wears a lot better than the bracelet.

Judging between the Omega and the Tudor based solely on style, I would choose the Tudor.

Omega, hands down. Not a fan at all of the faux rivets on the Tudor bracelets. That is minor and what some may consider petty, but it is actually what has kept me from buying a Tudor.

I'm not a big fan of that particular seamaster, so I voted BB58.

i’m gonna be a contrarian. i’d go for the BB58 because i DONT like the white dial SMP, especially. the ceramic wave motif bugs me. i think it’s a KILLER watch - i most likely will add the new Bond version (titanium, no-date, no wave motif) to my collection this year. i just dislike the dial texturing.

  • IWC Chronograph Classic
  • IWC Mark XVIII LPP

Would be interested to hear your thoughts!

Omega Seamaster in White



Tudor BB58


Omega in a heartbeat. To be honest, there is not a single Tudor I would consider next to the new SMP. And to be brutally honest, that watch gives the Rolex Submariner a real run for the money.

Has to be the BB for me, I love the Omega white dial but the hands kill it for me. I know I’m in the minority with my thought on the hands.
