Houston, there may be a problem

I am a committed Rolex fan.

Love them.

Yet, I have to say pound for pound the Omega seamaster is amazing..
Watch, box, extras, booklets..its like Rolex used to be when you got dive tables and anchors...

I think it's one of the best bang for the bucks. (No Bucks, no Buck Rogers)

Nothing wrong with a Speedy, every box should have one

I see it as an addition to, not a replacement for, Rolex.

Congratulations!

I think the Speedy Pro will be my next, and probably last, big watch purchase.

I'm not much swayed by the swag, but it is such a classic watch.

You say that like we can only buy one brand or it's a sin.

Congrats on your Speedy Pro!

As much as I love my Daytona, I have to admit that there's something special about the Speedmaster!

Nice watch, don't care for the sway, it was a good way for them to increase the price.

I agree Steve, the Speedmaster is one of the best values left in the sport watch world, even after they increased the price.

Another similarity between the Speedmaster and Rolex models is that they still look the same after all these years. My Speedy is 10 years old and is identical to your brand new one. Indeed, search images of Speedmaster Pros from the 60's and they will look just like yours.

In other words - a classic.

bought the same watch and it is incredible.
After collecting watches since 1990- 1995 I thought I've seen everything
I've bought cheap and very expensive watches
Today I can't understand why this Speedmaster offers soo much for so little money ( compared to for example Rolex), and yes, I'm a Rolex fan too
