Ok, so I THINK I know the answer but....

I just got a white dialed Rolex Datejust a couple of months ago. To the dismay of my wife, I'm thinking of adding another "nice" watch to my household. [Hey, I just turned 52, complex anyone...?] Anyway, I want a black dialed moonphase chrono. So, there is the Omega Speedmaster, or the Longines moonphase, costing about $1,500 less. Gotta get the Omega, right??

From one 52 year old to another, get the Speedy. No questions asked.

Without a doubt, the Speedy Pro!

Call and talk with my AD. He carries both at substantial discounts. He will give you good counsel without any hard sell.

Get the Omega Speedmaster Moonphase for the best of both worlds.

It doesn't help with the cheaper aspect of the scenarios but still.

So true Welshwatchman -- But, just the other day I tried on the new all green Rolex Sub, and, whew....

We are all doomed.
