wadan Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) Hi to everybody , Just trying to answer a question If you could have one and only one Gen Omega what would it be too many to chose from A Speedy moon ? A bond ? A PO ? A BA ? A Rail Master ? Cheers Edited February 28, 2008 by wadan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I have 5: Speedy Moon Black SMP (full size auto) Vintage SM300 Vintage (late '50s?) solid gold Seamaster Dynamic date (80s) If I could keep only 1 it would be the Speedy Pro, followed by the SMP. In fact they're probably listed in order of preference. I wouldn't buy the gen PO as I think that they are too trendy / faddish and the SMP is altogether a nicer watch. Mind you I have an orange UPO which gets a reasonable amount of wrist time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobs1971 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 What about a nice dress watch? Deville Chrono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I am still leaning for SMP. It's a watch for almost all occasions: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitton Mar Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Good choices all of them. And a great thread. I have a genuine MW.... my main work watch, it's fantastic (and the more I wear it the more I like it), I HAD to buy it because I can't wear a rep at work (my work is a lot to do with patents and trademarks and to wear a rep would not go down well at all). HOWEVER, must say that the recent new reps of the Day Date have been playing on my mind and I can't wait for mine to get here. If it makes me feel as good as I think it will - if I am going to wear it for work I'll have to get a genuine - SO, my choice would be: This is a pic of an old one form the web, there is something intriguing and manly about this watch, in the same way as the moon watch, it's substantial, it's stylish, it has weight, Omega is a brand you can wear anywhere and it says a lot about you, but most of all I love the look of the thing. I do not dive or sail so a real PO Seamaster would be a bit daft, but THIS? This is a watch I could wear and flaunt and bore people silly with constant left arm movement. The other thing is because the logo is offset and not in the usual position it is not entirely apparent at first glance which brand it is - means more people will ask you - a plus. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE LOOK OF THIS DESIGN, anyone know the history? When it was introduced? Who designed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b16a2 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I was always drawn to the Bond SMP. I have seen it in so many scenarios, and recognised its versatility. For me the Bond SMP is my grail of the Omega world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2222 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 only vintage seamaster 300 for me. From Your list, speedy moon but also vintage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I have 2 of my all time favourite the Speedmaster Professional. My grail being the 1969 Pre-Moon, same vintage as me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magagne Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hi to everybody , Just trying to answer a question If you could have one and only one Gen Omega what would it be too many to chose from A Speedy moon ? A bond ? A PO ? A BA ? A Rail Master ? Cheers Moon watch. All the way (acrylic crystal, solid case back version, the ORIGINAL) Why? For his historical reason. For his "soul" behind this watch. After that, the rest of the list is an "optional" choice IMHO For me, a second gen could be a PO du to his co-axial mvt, and his 600M water resistance, exceptional, but, the Moon should be a must to purchase FIRST. PO is not a classic yet, wait little bit... I bought a gen speedy, ~5-6 years ago, since this time I sold all my other gen, and a lot of rotation, except this one... it's a keeper for a long long ride, should never be sold, it's like a good bottle of wine that you have in your cave, more time pass, more the needs to keep it grow. I suggest you to read/post on TZ (timezone), that wil help to do the right choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magagne Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I have 2 of my all time favourite the Speedmaster Professional. My grail being the 1969 Pre-Moon, same vintage as me Curious, we are born on the same year/month, and both love speedyPro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crick0234 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I asked that and went with the PO But i agree, SMP is the safest. I however didnt want safest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I agree with Dluddy, a premoon speedy(if it's in your budget) or a newer one -it's a icon. Here's my only gen Omega, a '99 display back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Curious, we are born on the same year/month, and both love speedyPro. Ah, great minds think alike - 69 was a great year! In my opinion the Speedy Pro is the best watch full stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solchitlins Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I went and tried some on a few weeks ago and the Seamaster Chronograph was my favorite by far. Just felt perfect. If I ever drop serious $$$ on a watch that might have to be the one. I have one of WBK's SMP reps that I like so much I have given thought to replacing it with the gen.

HauteHippie Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Cal 321 Speedy Pre-Moon This indeed would be the way to go IMO. I'd absolutely love one of these too. Of course, I'd probably also have to get a newer 42mm model moon watch for day to day wearing since the vintage pieces are just so small on the wrist. I also really like the Broad Arrow chronos, but am not willing to touch those in house Omega chrono movements with a 10m stick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
