Hi, I am new to this forum and would really appreciate some help. I have been a Rolex fan for a long time but have finally seen the Omrga light. I am looking at 2 Omega Speedmasters to buy one. (for now I am so confused by Omegas serial numbers and dates that any changes were made. I have been to some of the more well known sites with lists of serial numbers but they seem to conflict with each other One of the serial numbers of the watches I am looking at is 59257148 and the other is 58794095. Can I get some opinions on their date of manufacture and their models. Can I also get your opinions on the most correct sites/places to visit in order to get correct Omega information Thanks in advance
Speedy serial numbers differ from other omega serial numbers. Chronomaddox http://chronomaddox.com/omega/tables/mr/speedy_history_cm.html is the best site on Speedies. It has a table linking serial numbers to years
The top one is newer, and better. Its an ETA 7750 based movement, which is extremely accurate, reliable, tough, and easy to service and repair. The second watch is a Speedmaster reduced, which is far less durable and has a piggyback chronograph module, which is a servicing liability and is just not on the same level as the 7750
