    Fellow omega fans,

    I have a watch box that holds 5. I currently have the following:
    145.022-69
    Original Mark II racing dial
    Project Alaska
    Mitsukoshi dial

    I'm looking to add one more to round off the speedmaster family. I'm hoping that so,e of you can chime in and give me so,e advice, suggestions on a model I can add.

    I'm currently considering the limited ck2998. The hands, dial, colours for me really go well together. It's also very different from the rest.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks everyone!

    Gemini4 is the best LE Speedmasters ever made.

    But I also like the CK2998.

    Considering both about same price, without a doubt I would buy Gemini 4.

    I was looking at the Gemini, so difficult a choice, especially side by side!

    I would get a seamaster 321 chrono or deville. However they aren't speedmaster. the cal 321 speedmaster is a bit more than what I want to spend. The prices have really gone up. That would be for another time.

    But he has a -69. So maybe better to go with an Ed White.

    EDIT: On my cell phone @LawBrk post of his Ed White looked like a -68. It sucks getting old, harder to see on these cell phones. This is why it is easier to go with the LE, much easier to see the differences.

    Notice the Tin Tin version isn't on there?! That was another one I was considering, but enjoyed the fact that the two models I'm leaning towards are a different colour dial than black.

    The more I look at the two version, I find myself leaning towards the CK....the Gemini's red writing is not as appealing as the clean "Speedmaster" on the CK.

    :)
