I have a Speedmaster and a Seamaster and I want a Globemaster in a few years.

It would be hard for me to settle with one but when I have to I will always chose my Moonwatch.

 

Beautiful - I did that mod on a 3572.50 with a red sweep second hand.

 

I hear you. I often wonder why I was so quick to sell my LMLEPO, and when I see them on here, it still smarts a bit, but I didn't see the beauty of it on my wrist as much as I do when the pics on here are taken just right. Don't think I'd ever find one as untouched as the one I sold was either, so I do think about it still. The versatility of the 2500 when it comes to straps is superb too. The 8500 works with some, but NATO wise, it can be a bit top heavy whereas the 2500 works with pretty much everything. You sold the other LMLE you originally intended to keep for your son didn't you, he didn't want it?

 

I had two Planet Ocean LMLE and traded #1356, unworn and still in stickers, for a second GSOTM that would have been my son’s someday (college graduation next year). I still have one that I’ve worn for several years, just serviced last summer, that will be one of the last I’d part with.

It turns out that he likes the Speedy Pro Moonwatch more, for the history and manual wind and no date, so that he can set it and wind only when he wants to wear it. So, I traded the GSOTM and my BLNR towards a 2019 Pepsi GMT II, and bought my son a birth year 3572.50 that I’ll service next February before giving it to him for graduation.

 

Always this one...

 

Many Omega come and gone, only one (model) remains ...



Ok, I have three of them, and a mix between Gen 1 and 2. But my wife can't tell the difference, why would anybody else? .. LOL

 

Mine choices would be the Apollo 13 Silver Snoopy Speedmaster or the Apollo 8 DSOTM Speedmaster.

 

Personally I would avoid the novelties and stick to classic designs. I'd say a classic and dependable Speedy Pro Moonwatch or the SM300mc for a touch of class with modern advances.

 

You're a good Dad! I may track another one down one of these years, but it is a major gripe when you sell an unworn LMLEPO for less than half what it's probably fetching now and then look to replace it. Have they ever done a run that small for any other model do we know? You tend to see the 7 and 8000 runs for their other Ltd Eds, but never as low as the 1948 of that model.

 

I think my X-33 Solar Impulse LE had 1924 made.

 

If there was a 39mm version of the gray SMP300, that would be it.

 

I do like that on the NATO, it's a beast. Over the 42mm cut off for me though.

But I could live with the 'ONE' 2500 PO, if pressed....
I'd definitely miss the 8500 though, (wearing it now on rubber), but I know I would miss that PO 2500 a whole lot more. It's still got a big draw with me. Very few of them work so well.

 

I'm very fortunate not to what for anything else.

 

If I could only have one Omega, but could have other watches, then I would go with my vintage Speedy - my favorite Omega and favorite watch period.



If I could only have one watch of any kind then I’d have to go with my Planet Ocean as I’d need the water resistance.



If the watches didn’t have to come from my current collection then sub in a step dial + applied logo Speedy or Liquid Metal Edition PO.

 

If I could only have one Omega it would have to be a Speedy. There are plenty of Seamaster and dress watches alternatives out there but there is only one Speedy.

 

I’m late to this game folks. My grandfathers bumper automatic I inherited.
Honorable mention to the constellation my wife got me as our first vintage foray.

 

Speedmaster grail = 1978 radial dial Alaska III Speedmaster

 

My standard Speedy, without question.

 

I'd have to say an Aqua Terra, mine to be precise.

 

I have re-thought my answer....
A chronograph I can get from some another brand. Same with a diver.

If could only have one Omega I want something unique. I'll take this one:
