New here!!

Hello all TRF members!!!
I have been looking to buy my first Rolex and an omega.
I am looking at submariner date(hard to get , so I will have sometime after I buy omega) and omega speedmaster
For omega which one is best speedmaster to get? Hesalite or sapphire
If I want to sell in few years which will hold value( not trying to flip)
Do you guys think they both are very much similar due to black face with steel bracelet?
Any advise/input greatly appreciated
Thank you.

Welcome to the forums!

I would say get the hesalite, it is true to the heritage. You aren't going to really keep the value in the Omega, but get it because you like it. I don't think the Omega and the Sub are really that alike, different feel, look, and sizes.

I was looking at the Omega but went with a Rolex sub mariner.

X2 on the hesalite. When i tried both on the visual on it really made the difference for me. Value is relevant, they'll both lose money.
