Both - the fact you can have both for the price of a sub makes them terrific value.

If only one, I’d probably go speedy - Apollo 11 preferably

Speedmaster is simply the most beautiful Omega watch

I love Speedmasters, and will most likely own one soon, but if I could only pick between the two I'd go Seamaster as it suits my needs for utility, and cheaper servicing costs.

I recently sold a Seamaster and I wouldn't sell my speedie unless it was to purchase a MK40. So if I could only pick one I'd have to pick the speedie

Very nice picture and agreed.

I'm picky when it comes to my Speedies. Love the 41.5mm '57 with the 9300 in it. Also the 44.25mm Racing with the 9900 in it. Of course some of the Apollo anniversary models.

When it comes to Seamasters, I love the Planet Oceans. Three handers, GMT, chronos.....love 'em all!

If I had to pick one, it would be a Planet Ocean 215.92.46.51.99.001.

Difficult choice and although I'd like to say both I went with the Speedmaster as I've just agreed to purchase one from a local AD.

Seamaster will definitely be on my wrist at some point in the future.

Seamaster vs Speedmaster

Seamaster every time. The speedy doesn't sing to me. I like some of the LE's and special pieces, but overall prefer the seamaster.

I've had 5 over the years, down to two now
