Nope, I actually agree with you on that point. The only criticism that I have of the Aqua Terra line generally is that high polish stainless steel bezel - looks great initially, but it’s a scratch and smudge magnet. That’s one of the reasons that I like the Globemaster with its tungsten carbide bezel - you could launch missiles at that thing and it would still look great.

As much as I love the Speedmaster - and I have two - it’s a tool watch, not a dress watch. Casual Friday at the office, sure. Formal event or serious business meeting with a suit, no.
Definitely needs to be a dress watch. If you're sticking with Omega and want something new, a DeVille Prestige or a Constellation Globemaster (emphasis mine), both on a leather strap, would do very nicely. If vintage Omega, you can never go wrong with a pie pan Constellation or, for less money, any number of the dressier Seamaster references.
What would you add to this guy for a two watch collection?
