Trading my Breitling Navitimer 01 for an Omega

Hello everybody,

I'm trading my Breitling for a new Omega.

But I'm still desciding which one:

- Omega Speedmaster moonphase Master Chronometer with Blue face and alligator strap


- Omega Seamaster master chronometer Deep Black


Which one would you pick?

Eh, I say the Deep Black. You may get bored of the Speedy.

What does your collection look like? Is this your only watch?

Between those choices, I'd keep the Navi. But if that wasn't good a possibility, I'd go for the Speedy.

No fan of the Speedmaster? I would guess it would be a clear win for that watch

Had many Speedies, currently down to just one, but the Navi01 stands tall among chronographs in my book. Superb movement, the right case thickness, and detail in the dial is outstanding. That said, the Speedy Pro is also one of my favorites.

I would also keep the Navi, it's a classic. Of the two Omegas you have to go speedmaster, you already have two divers.

The Speedy has an awfully busy dial, but IMO it is much cleaner and more balanced than your Navitimer.

My love for the Deep Black is well documented, but in this case you need a chrono to go with your two divers. I love the Breitling, I would keep it and add a Speedy. However, if that is not an option then Speedmaster it is.

Omega has beautiful watches BUT get rid of that Navi for either choices you list? Never! That is a beautiful classic.

I'm a little bored of the Navitimer and also the 30m water resistant annoys me. I had the watch for two years and weared it like 10 times...

I really liked the Moonphase Speedmaster until I noticed the thickness of the watch!! Oh my effing god...

I'd keep the Navitimer

Oh, well then the Breitling has to go. There is absolutely no reason the keep watches that you don't wear.

The Speedy Moonphase won't exactly be great in the water, either. If that's an important criterion then go get that Deep Black!

Speedy moonphase. I would get one myself if it was smaller. It's too big for my wrist.
