Well I did much reading and lurking on this site and took the advice of most when looking for one Speedmaster and bought the 3570.50.
Now I want one Seamaster and I'm asking for advice again. If you could have only one, which one would stand the test of time and be the classic example. Which would you buy?
Thanks

This would be my non-Speedmaster choice...

Test of time and classic example, that's easy, the 2254.50 SMP. Great watch...

Yep, gotta agre with that..

The SMP is the icon of the Omega line today. It's like having a Sub in your Rolex line-up..

I agree with Doc about the black PLanet Ocean. I have the orange one and I love it. For a classic look though the black is wonderful.

Might also consider the non-chrono black planet ocean on rubber strap that Daniel Craig wore in the last Bond movie.

Smaller PO in black.

How about this one, a nice looking seamaster

evy411nia · 5 April 2008, 12:47 AM

Check out the new Aquterra...it's on my radar and closing in fast.

Why not wait a few months for some of the very nice models that are about to emerge from Basel?

Seamaster?Well I`m always on Speedy`s side,but...Planet Ocean Chronograph!

Perdu · 6 April 2008, 05:45 AM

If you hold off a bit you might find the inhouse movement making it into the PO and SmP lines. That will be really neat.

TDH · 7 April 2008, 04:45 AM

My choice would be the clear caseback Aqua Terra 2503.33

spogehead · 12 April 2008, 07:07 AM

Let's just say the one in the pic is my 100% keeper
