    As the title suggests ... Which would you choose and why?

    I would go for the one I prefer.

    Personally, I would go for the meteorite Speedy as it clearly mirors the (hi)story of Space Conquest

    N°1: The Black & Yellow Speedy

    Why ? Because i like that special type of dial, a beautiful colour combination and a game with the depth and the mechanical parts.

    N°2: The Seamaster

    Why ? I also like the Color combination, seen it on a Rolex before

    The meteorite Sedna DSOTM is very attractive in person and the whole line is very comfortable and versatile.

    I liked the Apollo 8 in person but it didn't quite do it for me personally. It is also too similar to my DSOTM Black Black.

    I own and absolutely love the Sedna Deep Black PO (wearing it as I type.) If choosing between these three, the PO is hands down the best on the wrist.

    They are all on my shortlist :p. Not a matter of which, more a matter of when. Still nice to hear what other have to say about each model. Thanks.

    Wow didn't think I'd like that one as much but from the photo you took it looks really nice. Even the horse is eyeing your watch... ;)

    Meteorite Speedy would be my first choice due to the dial as well as the grey/sedona/touch of red. 2nd would be the PO..

    I’d go with the seamaster. I don’t own any rose or yellow gold watches. For some reason that particular one and the new SMP in rose gold look awesome to me. Secondly I’d go with the speedy meteorite.

    I've always found meteorite dials fascinating. But when I see that grey side of the moon it doesn't really click for me.
    From these three I'd choose the Apollo 8. It's interesting how they decorated the movement and you won't see this color combination very often.

    I'll throw this one in as an alternative.

    I'd pick the Dark Side of the Moon. Why? It's the one I like the most.

    +1 on this order for me

    I have the original DSOTM, which I think is fantastic - I like it even more every time I put it on. But the Apollo 8 is also very cool and more Speedy pro like (no date, three sub dials, hand wound and such) - although, much more than a slight twist IMO (in a good way)

    Planet Ocean. But, I prefer dive watches. I actually like the ceramic 39.5mm ceramic Planet Ocean even better. This may sound strange—and it’s not a factor in my decision—but I haven’t figured out how the case back is attached on the other two watches. They look like pressure fitted or snap-on case backs. I’m not sure how well that would work on something as brittle as ceramic. “Snap” and ceramic do not sound like they would get along well.

    Meteorite speedy as it looks most elegant of the three.

    Some great comments. Thanks everyone for the feedback. Interesting to see the trends for preference and how different views are. I guess we are fortunate Omega make quite a few nice watches so plenty to choose from!

    I’ve still not decided on which one to get next myself yet. I’ll visit my AD next month and negotiate the ‘art of the possible’ :thumbsup:
