    Hi everyone.
    So, this seems to be the best place to ask this relatively simple question, but here goes.
    I’m about to pull the trigger on buying a Speedmaster Pro, hesalite but am wondering what you guys think on buying options.
    Am I better off just simply getting one from an Omega boutique or AD or are there better options out there? Is getting it from somewhere like Jomashop or Authentic Watches a good option?
    If so, are these options reliable.?
    Are there other dealers on here, for example that would be worth reaching out to.? Again, if so are they reliable and trustworthy and are the watches real.?
    Also, what are your guys thoughts on the latest model, ref 311.30.42.30.01.005?
    Thanks everyone, please feel free to pass on any info you think will be helpful.

    Tom

    OB full price. AD little price if any reduction retains warranty. Joma eat all lower price no mfg warranty.

    The 2 listed above generally with warranty and slightly better or same price as Joma.

    If you're going to pay full retail at an OB, at least let it be on a Limited Edition like whatever Omega's announcing next week.

    agreed, basel is right around the corner if you’re into any LE speedy. If you want just the regular speedy pro, can’t go wrong with any trusted seller on here, price will probably be the best.

    Go for the cited sellers.

    The reference you want is the latest production available of the Moonwatch. You cannot go wrong with that one if you want a new watch. Some people have issues with the clasp that has one less micro adjustment position than some previous versions. This might depend on size of the wrist. The bracelet is on the other side rather easy to adjust to size, using the screws and pin system. The presentation box is large and contains some interesting goodies. It is a beautiful watch and a great choice.

    +1 for the latest iteration of the Moonwatch. AD supplied mine with a hefty discount, with the full warranty. Get the hesalite version with bracelet, then prepare for numerous purchases of straps down the line, it’s addictive...

    I'll put a mention in for alexthegreat123 as one of the sellers you might want to research as well. He happened to be offering the better price at the time I was looking.

    UPDATE: Sorry, I just realized I found him through a different forum(s) so let me know if that's an issue.

    to me, the AD/OB option boils down to how much are you willing to pay for that OEM warranty...
