Speedmaster Pro Moon or a Co-Axial Speedmaster Mark II ?

Which one would you want and why? I own a Speedy Moon but I was contemplating on selling it and picking the Mark II....or should I just keep my 3570.50?

The Mark 2 is an amazing watch and I love the depth on the dial and the lumed tachy. It’s a little more unique than the Moonwatch and I think the dial is more appealing. The one drawback is just how bulky the case is. I came very close to buying the racing dial version recently but just couldn’t pull the trigger.

I would keep the one you have

I had a Mark II racing dial and the face and finish of the watch was excellent but ultimately I did not wear it very much over 3 years as it is too thick for my tastes and tended to feel very top heavy on my wrist

I recently swapped the Mark II for the new Seamaster 300M and really love that watch - a third of the price of the Sub C on the grey market and imo a nicer watch and I owned a Sub C for 6 years

The mark II does absolutely nothing for me. Something about that design looks very much outdated and certainly not the classic look or history of the moon watch.

I will say get both if you can. Both are nice pieces. If need to pick one, then I will keep the Moonwatch.

Keep the moonwatch. If you’re looking to switch it up you could get a nice brown strap and the OEM croc strap too.
