    Good morning,
    So as a novice to Omega I'm in a dilemma on what to choose , love the look of all three of these watches and for me it's about how they make you feel when you are lucky enough to put one on.
    So all Speedmasters all leather straps :

    Racing 329.32.44.51.01.001

    Chronoscope Master Chronometer 329.33.43.51.02.001

    Pro Moonwalk Dark side Alinghi 311.92.44.30.01.002

    I think what I'm asking is should I keep away from any of these are they over priced , over stocked ?
    Obviously none of these will I be paying list, well I won't be going to a Boutique

    You’ve really listed three VERY different models… Personally I would go with the Racing model. It looks great! The Chronoscope is just too busy in my taste and I’m not a fan of the marriage of an old-school dial in a modern case. Alinghi is a cool watch, but it’s too niche for me. If you like the Dark Side ceramic series (I certainly do), I’d rather recommend the classic Dark Side of the Moon model.

    Racing > Chronoscope > Alinghi

    Chronoscope dial too busy, Alinghi is an answer to a question no one asked. I would choose the Apollo 8 everytime over the Alinghi.

    I like the Chronoscope myself, the Alinghi falls into the category of armchair sailing watches that no real sailor would ever want to wear which rules it out for me. Was ranting about those watches just the other day.

    I'd only choose the Racing. The other two I don't find particularly exciting at all. Just not my preference.

    My vote goes to the racing as well!
    (BTW it may help if you could add pics to the post, then we don't need to look them up one by one) :)

    Standard Moonwatch for me is the best of your choices…
