    Which would you have?

    I'm looking at buying myself my first ever brand new watch from an AD, and to make it special i'm hoping to go for a brand new omega.

    I'm not entirely sure and would like to see what the general consensus is?

    Firstly ceramic 45 mm pleanet ocean titanium



    Secondly 44mm titanium speedmaster solar impulse



    Last, but not least the Ceramic version of the seamaster 300..



    Thoughts would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Doug

    Re: Which would you have?

    Out of these I prefer the speedmaster. Purely on looks

    Re: Which would you have?

    The Ti Seamaster every day of the week - that PO is just such a nice watch.
    It's just a matter of time...

    Re: Which would you have?

    I love all Omegas tbh...

    And all 3 of those are nice Sir...

    But if i had to pick one it would be the Speedy mainly due to looks i guess.

    Which would you have?

    Hi Doug,

    I know you said you'd like to buy it new from an AD but if you do opt for the Speedmaster, Jason has a brand new one for sale on his website (link below). Just thought I'd bring it to your attention but totally understand if you'd prefer to go to an AD....

    Re: Which would you have?

    I would definitely go with the speedy. It is more versatile and IMH(umble)O more classic.

    Re: Which would you have?

    the top one of the three is very ncie.

    the dial looks a bit fussy on the second one.

    the strap on the third not as good as on the first.

    Re: Which would you have?

    I would have the Speedy. The PO is a monster, too big for me and (like the blue ceramic SM300) seemed a bit dull to me. The SM ceramic seemed a bit small to me, or maybe out of proportion, I don't know but something didn't sit right. Which leaves the Speedy, which I wouldn't pay full price for, rather I would pick up the and ring Jason to bag this one:

    Buying from an AD is a good but short lived experience. £1800 is enough for a send nice watch, or several nice watches.

    Re: Which would you have?

    Hmm thanks for the input guys, I'm very much torn, never having seen the Speedmaster,

    But I would buy from The Ad as I have the option to buy at cost :mrgreen: what joy :mrgreen:

    Re: Which would you have?

    I'd go for the first Seamaster. The Speedy is a fantastic watch, but the dial on that version is just too busy. The beauty of a Speedmaster is its simplicity.

    Cheers tony,

    I've the 300m and the PO but never the speedie so to hear that helps me make my mind up.

    Not a great lover of Omegas

    But I prefer the look of the Speedy.

    The co-ax PO is amazing. I love the colour, the 3D dial, and the hand separation. The other two look flat in comparison.

    Which would you have?

    Seamaster 300 out of those 3. I like the PO a lot, but in 42mm, rather than 45. The only Speedy I find compelling is the Moon watch, the one above has a pretty fussy dial

    Re: Which would you have?

    Seamaster 300 for me too. I don't much like the bracelet but that PO is comedy large and the Speedmaster a little bit too weird for me (and too big). At least it's substantially different to the regular Moonwatch, unlike almost all of Omega's "limited" editions.
    ...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!

    Re: Which would you have?

    My money would go on the Ceramic Planet Ocean 8) . Really nice looking watch. The Speedmaster dial looks far too busy for me.

    Re: Which would you have?

    Seamaster ceramic for me! as mentioned before i feel the carbon dial of the speedy doesn't make it look better than the moonwatch

    Re: Which would you have?

    You cant go wrong with the seamaster. The speedy looks a bit busy for my liking

    I'd say the first one...

    Re: Which would you have?

    Not fare, the 2nd & the 3rd photos are unable to show the beauty of the other two watches.
    Nonetheless, I like the arrow hands and the 3D dial.. :lol: :lol:

    Re: Which would you have?

    Number three for me. I prefer a black dial.

    The Solar Impulse is the only one I have fondled but I think I prefer it to the other two. It is a very cool watch 8)

    Planet Ocean without a second thought!

    Re: Which would you have?

    Another vote for the PO: I couldn't wear a watch that size, but it is a handsome thing.

    One of my female colleagues has the automatic version of the SMP pictured and it looks superb. I had a chat with her yesterday about the bezel and how impressed I was with it. I may have outed myself as a nerd.

    Re: Which would you have?

    The honest answer is none of them as all have weaknesses - first is too big, second has a busy/ugly dial and the third is bland.

    But if I had to choose, it would be the lovely but large PO.

    Ceramic PO without doubt!

    IMO it is probably the nicest watch Omega make in that price range. 8)

    I can't decide between PO and seamaster 300. Maybe PO.

    Stunning watches and what a choice. Having already got a Speedmaster [ not that one ] I would go for the Planet Ocean but I am going purely off looks.

    Re: Which would you have?

    300m Seamaster - the PO would be too large for me - but looks the best. Speedy version too busy for me...

    I am another one opting for the speedmaster. It is really light on the wrist.

    Re: Which would you have?

    Well the PO seems the obvious choice, and frankly I think it's the one I was edging towards in the beginning, that or the 300m the speedie although nice I'd prefer the real deal I think.. And it is quite busy.. Now just have to wait till may for them to come back into stock in th UK :mrgreen:
