Best Value Omega? Speedmaster Date 39 Stainless Steel / Black

One thing I dislike about that particular watch is the mismatched lume in the hands compared to the dial. The lume on the dial has aged to a lovely yellow color, and it is spoiled by the newer hands with luminova. I'm also sensing that the case might be too polished for my taste. But I'm sure you can find other examples that might be a little better in the same price range.

As for value for money, I think that's very much in the eye of the beholder. There are plenty of other watches you can get in that price range, but they might not meet your criteria. Are you specifically looking for an automatic chronograph?
