I'm thinking to flip my PO.42 and get a speedy pro.
your advice is highly appreciated on that.
thanks in advance
Rami

The only similarity between the two is the brand. Keep the 2500 if you like it, flip it if you don't. Its as simple as that

Ramiks · 6 November 2012, 04:28 AM

that's totally true but I feel the PO will have less time on wrist with future incomings

:

however thinking to flip for a another omega

Rpcody · 6 November 2012, 04:31 AM

Owned them both. Speedy is more versatile. Wears well with anything.

Ramiks · 6 November 2012, 02:52 PM

Thanks Ryan.

Can you live with the heslite crystal on the 3570?

Ramiks · 6 November 2012, 10:08 PM

Good question Eric, the heslite glass is not an issue to me now.
As I have the 372 on my wish list as well. Beside other vintage time pieces with normal glass

antoun · 6 November 2012, 10:25 PM

Planet Ocean for sure.

Keep the PO. As nice as the speedmaster is, the PO has more bling and looks nicer imo. Not a fan of the logo and hands on the speedmaster. The speedmaster is too dull looking imo. Good luck.

gnuyork · 7 November 2012, 07:03 AM

If it were me, the PO. But I am biased. I would choose it as my #1 over any watch including Rolex, but it's be tough against a nice vintage DJ, DD or AirKing.

Ramiks · 7 November 2012, 07:19 AM

Thanks guys, highly appreciate your thoughs..

Actually I wrote this post and this reply wearing the PO, and spent the day looking at it and telling my self i know i will regret it later...

What about the Speedy? no more Speedy fans??

Maybe it's the new Bond effect

joaquinick · 10 November 2012, 11:33 PM

I have both. Love them both. But the PO is the more versatile and better utility. The PO has date feature, automatic and more accurate, and better water resistance. Save up and get a Speedie and croc leather. You can interchange the croc leather on both watches which both have 20mm lugs.

Kringkily · 10 November 2012, 11:45 PM

They are different watches and IMO unique in their appeal. I believe you would enjoy the Speedy as much as the PO. Both great watches.

Much appreciated

mps354 · 12 November 2012, 06:02 PM

I would recommend the Speedy Pro - it was my first high end watch, and remains my favorite. i just put on a 1171 bracelet and it looks brand new to me.

Maxx · 12 November 2012, 09:12 PM

Do what I did - get a Rolex Seadweller 16600 and a Speedmaster Pro - Seadweller and Spacedweller :) Now to save up for the ultimate landweller watch hmmm

drgleeds37 · 13 November 2012, 01:29 AM

The two watches together make a great combination. I say keep the PO and save up for the Speedy.
