if you would have a choice and option to buy only 1, which one would you buy? ST#2 or 1957 edition? assuming you are an owner of ST#1 😉

+1
Not a huge premium for ST1 in US. Can call it what you want..... Just look at the sales section before padding yourself on the back.
If you bought an ST1 in America and paid 8-9% sales tax then you are into it for $7100 I believe, the asking price for the one that just sold here was $7500 so at best there’s a few hundred bucks in it for Americans
I'd go with the ST2. I like the look better.
I don’t know where you see all these ST1s being sold at RRP but in my experience they are trading presently at about £1000 over list so I think your 2c isn’t worth a fat lot!
I sold mine some time ago for less than £5k complete with the 1171 bracelet, it still hung around for a day or two. Still not RRP I know and looking back mine was probably about the best deal sold over here in the UK on the secondary market. I do miss it but I have to say I much prefer the ST2(finding it hard to put the funds together so can see me not being able to go through with it sadly, need a loto win 😀).
Thanks for all the comments about ST#2 vs. 1957 battle! it's interesting, I thought more people would prefer 1957....I don't know frankly which I like the best - would like to buy 2 of them but it not going to happen when I look at my bank account 😝
decisions, decisions...

And I've been afraid to wear mine out of the house. Sad.
My preference is ST2 based on just comparing the aesthetics and ignoring speculation about possible future values, the "story" behind the watch and any other fluffy stuff. However, it takes into account also having a Japan Racing and the obvious similarities ST2 shares with it. All these similar looking Speedmaster LEs are creating new 1st world problems: "Hmm, which orange will I wear today?"😕
ST2 without a doubt it's got it all Sci-fi, Moon , Japan Racing and it's a little bit more exciting for me. In terms of future value I see these going up to 7 to 8k uk initially and holding steady. I don't think these will be flipped like the ST1 as much. I do always think it should be considered before buying otherwise I would be happy with a pre owned Every time. I'm keeping mine so there's only 2011 left 😲
I don't think the ST2 is very similar to the Japan Racing Speedy. Sure they have an orange chrono hand but the ST2 has a black line down the middle of its chrono hand. Sure they have orange pips at the indices but the ones on the ST2 are far more subdued. The ST2 doesn't have a racing track and it doesn't have an orange Omega logo. These are subtle touches but to me, these two watches do not look similar. They have enough differences to stand on their own.
