If you would have only ONE Omega-watch—what would it be?

Can't decide. I think I would pick the speedy.
Timeless classic.

You have excellent taste!
Of those I would rank NTTD>Heritage>Speedy and likely change my mind next month so better keep them all.

Buuuuu

I hope all questions are ok on OF, not everybody knows all the weird things that goes on in Speedy circles.

sure is allowed. i think its easier to google some things than ask on a forum.
i genuinely believe my answer would help the person long term (as it once helped me).
I should be careful with my answers in the future, people seem to get all sensitive nowadays..

When you are having a conversation, how many times have people told you, "why don't you google your stupid question instead of asking me?" Yeah, that's what I thought...

i am just having a bad day, wanted to be a smartass. no hard feelings!

Ok. I gave this a long thought. And I came to the conclusion that the 120 is the most versitale watch in my collection. Why? Well, the 40mm+ watches like the speedy, the 300 or whatever are to big when I'm wearing a suit. And in my case I have to wear a suit sometimes. But when I'm wearing casual I dont want to wear a dress watch all the time. So no connies (not even the 37mm ones) 34/35/36/38/whatevermm seamasters, etc. Solution? A 37mm 120 which you can wear casual and dressy. Yes, that’s the watch.

Nice NATO on your Seamaster 300! Where did you get it?

No worries, I actually had a good laugh - I have a pretty dry sense of humor and have put my foot in my mouth more times than I care to remember

Thanks.

It´s the original Nato in beige from Omega.

Assuming this implies I can have as many as I want from other Brands?😀
This here then most likely!

That is a really cool watch. What kind of movement is in it? 1120?

Nope. The legendary 565

Great! I got that movement in my Geneve, sadly it never get any wrist time. Maybe I should buy a 120 case?

Tough call, but my new 2254 is holding that place right now:

As long as I can have watches from other manufacturers, my Snoopy.

Wonderful thread, this an easy one for me.
145.022-69 Gray Racing Dial

[sheepdoll]

Well the Speedmaster is the obvious choice. Preferably with a 321 movement, which mine does not have. And a cartoon dog on the dial that taught me how to read.

Still I find my chronostop with the adjustable 24 hour bezel to be one of my favorites. I was surprised when I measured it how large it is. It would be hard to find a better watch. This was the ONE watch I chose to take to Swizerland in 2022. So that says a lot.

1958 Ranchero. My birth year and one of the coolest watches that Omega has ever made.

Is that your BoR 3010/512 bracelet, @gbesq?
