Which Collection Would You Choose?

Thinking of going two different directions with my collection, curious to hear other opinions. I already have the Speedmaster pro on leather. Which would you choose?

Option 1: - Omega Speedmaster Professional leather strap
- 126710BLRO
- AP RO 15400
- ALS 1815 Annual Calendar

Option 2: - Omega Speedmaster Professional leather strap
- 126710BLRO
- Platinum Day-Date 40 Ice Blue Diagnal Motif

Option 1. The ALS is a game changer...

Option 1 would make an amazing and complete collection.



PP Aquanaut instead of AP Royal Oak ..............

The 1st option would provide more variety although the platinum DD40 is truly a beautiful piece.

Option 1. Definitely. Though both sets fantastic. Great to have such a conundrum.

Option 2. Not a big fan of the AP 15400 and Lange Annual calendar.

I have the DD40 that you listed. It is quickly becoming my favorite and it is so nice and versatile.

So it's really the DD vs. the AP and the ALS...

Not an AP fan but like the ALS a lot. Plus I like the brand diversity in option 1. But a platinum DD would be difficult to pass on. I guess not liking the AP I'd have to go option 2 if I were making the choice. Having a platinum watch would be a pure joy.

Option #2. I’ll always take a platinum DD and whatever is paired with it over AP and ALS.

Option 2 but I’d sub out the diagonal motif for the deconstructed Roman dial.
