Absolutely the Speedy Pro.

Watchmutt · 29 September 2013, 03:12 PM

Speedy for me too

Mick8moses · 29 September 2013, 05:54 PM

Speedy. Stick with the classic. If you want a sub... Get a Rolex.

Valdore · 29 September 2013, 06:08 PM

Speedy

1675-David · 29 September 2013, 06:12 PM

plexi Speedy, no contest...

ghislain · 29 September 2013, 09:48 PM

The Seamaster looks better on your wrist but you cannot go wrong with either of those.

Preacher · 29 September 2013, 09:53 PM

Hard choice but I'd choose the Speedmaster. Probably.

melcruz66 · 30 September 2013, 12:06 AM

i choose the Speedmaster.

How · 30 September 2013, 01:44 AM

The Speedy Pro.

It's an iconic legend.

I have the 2254.50, it needs a good polish and a new second hand since the red indicator at the head is faded. Have had the watch for 13-years... it has gone through hell and back and was serviced only once last year. My Omega guy here in San Francisco, the only guy who can work on them here, said it was a miracle that it ran for 11-plus years without needing a service. Also, I'll reiterate that this watch was truly treated as a tool watch and held up beautifully. I don't care for any of the new Omegas, they seem to have lost their way IMO. I'd go with the classic Speedy or a minty 2254.50.

hpowders · 30 September 2013, 02:59 AM

Speedy Pro. Wearing it now as a matter of fact. It's letting me know that it's time for TB Rays baseball.

..but I do like the speedy..!

Speedy hands down. It went to the moon for christ sake

azguy · 30 September 2013, 09:29 AM

speedy, I like the older SMP better...

Chainring · 30 September 2013, 09:46 AM

Speedmaster. There are plenty of divers out there. But none of them were worn on the moon.

Agreed. The 'Legend' is great, except those terribly boring hands. I've been so close to pulling the trigger on a Speedy over the years, but every time I put it on I just can't get over those WHITE stick hands. Boring, boring, boring. If I wanted to look at those types of hands, I would buy any one of a dozen Breitlings (which I don't).

Diver is my vote.

Cheers!

I would get the Moonwatch out of these two fine choices.

Sent from a guy wearing a watch.

SUBversive · 30 September 2013, 01:43 PM

Speedmaster. Classic. History and cool. Might be the perfect watch.

Boardman · 30 September 2013, 02:12 PM

SMPc. Gorgeous.

Love the speedy but find the recessed crown a PIA to wind.

D77 · 30 September 2013, 04:23 PM

Speedy, my daily watch.
I wear a Milgauss too, but definitely feel more comfortable with my Speedy.

The_Walrus · 30 September 2013, 07:11 PM

The bezel on that diver is gorgeous

Maxtor · 30 September 2013, 11:06 PM

I vote Speedmaster (... but it is damn close).

SearChart · 2 October 2013, 01:39 AM

Seamaster, because I think it looks better than the speedy and the speedy is a bit too big on my wrist.

gtuck · 2 October 2013, 04:51 AM

When I was in the market for an Omega this spring, I chose the black SMPc. A legend is great, and I'm sure you cannot go wrong with a Speedy, but I choose the Seamaster because I preferred the dial, the hands, the sapphire crystal and the likely greater accuracy of a 2500D over the older 1861 movement. Finally, having another chronometer watch, I found that I love to look at it but never use it.

OmegaJJH · 7 October 2013, 02:05 AM

I have a SMP.

I vote for the Speedmaster. An icon!

tavv160 · 7 October 2013, 05:06 AM

Speedmaster for me. The most beautiful Omega out there.

HL65 · 7 October 2013, 06:47 AM

Speedy for sure!

etp095 · 7 October 2013, 10:28 AM

Speedmaster.

You have a lot of opinions towards one or the other, but no one has stated the obvious - you need both
