Speedy Tuesday VS. Speedy 60th anniversary. Which do you prefer?

60th. I am not fond off the minute track on the ST (and FOIS). I wanted a 2915 since collecting Speedmasters in the 90s, they were scarce even then. The 60th scratched that itch, an iconic vintage design replicated by the factory 1.1 that I could wear with abandon.

Now if only Porsche would do the same with a 73 RS...

Singer is priced at about 30% the value of the '73 RS. 60th is priced ~5% of a 2915-1? Pretty good deal!

Hey everyone. I recently found a nice speedy Tuesday to buy from a OF member so I would like to start off by saying that was my choice. I had the opportunity to buy the 60th from a Canadian omega dealer and it would have cost me $10,000 Canadian but i passed. I ended up paying the same $10,000 Canadian for the Speedy Tuesday on the pre-owned market (10k CAD = 8k US, 6k pounds).

The main reason I decided on the Speedy Tuesday is that i like it more. Which makes sense. And, my next big purchase will likely be an ED White if I can locate a nice example which will give me a similar vintage feel to the speedy 60th. I think they did a very good job on the speedy 60th but its just too much for me to own both at this time. I am also admittedly slow to warm up to vintage reissues. I also have a gemini 4 and apollo 11 35th on the radar and both of those hold more interest to me.

So the question is "which do you prefer and which do you think will be more sought after in 10 years"?

Personally I think the speedy Tuesday has a lot going for it being a limited edition of only 2000 pieces, well received, and commemorating a great online movement. I think the only small downside is that the straps they include are not too great. I will be putting it on a standard speedy bracelet or my snoopy's strap. The speedy 60th is a bit of a bigger limited edition which hurts it a tiny bit. Both watches seem to be doing good in demand "resale and hype" coming out the door...we will have to see what the market looks like in a couple of years when the dust settles. Overall I have to give the speedy Tuesday a better chance of continuing to be a sought after piece well into the future. Just IMHO.

Hope everyone has a great weekend,

Josh

If someone advocates a let's say Rolex clone like Steinhart with the very same argument on a watch forum he is usually burned for heresy 😉.

I find the fake patina very dull and the watch looks overall too fυcking shiny.
