Hi,

I looked at the following three models today and can't decide on which one to go for.

It's either the :

Speedmaster (DSOM) Pitch Black
Speedmaster (DSOM) Black / Black
Speedmaster (DSOM) Dark Side

I like the Pitch Black because it's easy to read and the lumni display.
The Black Black looks so nice, and the strap is great, but the dials and tachymetre are a big hard to see.
The Dark side is great, and I like the read touches, but it doesn't have the full lumni of the Pitch Black.

Either way they are still great watches, but it's a hard choice.

Thanks

I think in general, the most popular/owned version is the original DSOTM. Personally, I have and enjoy the Pitch Black. They're all incredibly comfortable and enjoyable to wear. Certainly flies under the radar when out and about but you always know the awesomeness strapped to your wrist. You won't be wrong with whichever model you pull the trigger on. Don't forget to share picks once you decide!

To me the Speedmaster is one of the best versatile watches. With the strap pictured it also makes a great formal watch and as others have pointed out it is great on the wrist.

The one you like best. I personally don't like the all black one with black markers. Either the white/brown/luminova markers for me.


I like the gsotm and just saw this sexy beast.

Why on Earth didn't they make that a grey wheel with pink / rose gold numbers?

Okay, I'll bite since the U is probably my screen name - what does UDW mean? Ulackfocus Designed Watch?

It's strange because I didn't go out to look at the Black\Black one.

But once you put it on you think wow!!

It has something about it. It is so understated, but why didn't they give it a lumni tachymetre.

My only issue with it, is that it requires more focus to read the time. Which makes less functional than the others, so it ends up just being something nice and shiny on your wrist.

Of those, I like Pitch Black.

Pitch black is nice, and I can get it at a good price.

But is the lumni too much?

It's nice to have, but do you really want it on all the time?

The other two just have it on the dials.

Which makes them a bit more discreet in the dark,

Dude.

Duuuuuuuuuude.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, wears an expensive watch to actually tell the time. It's man jewelry with cool gears & stuff inside.
