@wilderbeast Oh my goodness, that dial is friggin epic!!! Very, very nice indeed!! Care to share the reference number? Thanks.
Sure - it’s a 168.017. Mine is from 1970. No lume, so the hands are gloss back and the linen dials tend to survive really well. Mine was bought here from a senior OF member, so good provenance! 😀

Omega Speedmaster 145.022-71 or older, so you will have a stepped dial.

Gotta leave here some shots, both on leather and on a bracelet of my 168.017, an underrated classic, in my opinion!

Gotta love those C-Shapes! 🥰

It’s one of the things I truly love about the Omega catalog, so many choices, so many styles, all beautiful and serve different tastes/lifestyles. As opposed to the coronet- would you like a dressy oyster, maybe a sporty oyster, perhaps a colorful oyster...which oyster.

Here are 5 of my essential Omega nominations to be going on with, I have more suggestions once those are in the box.

I see you left room on the right and left for a SM120 and C cased Connie 😉

Have you considered a flightmaster ? I think it's one of Omega's all-time greats and a really cool vintage piece to own!

As others have said already, as long as you think it'd be meaningfully different than your Speedy Reduced, a Speedy Pro is a great thing to have. I've had mine for a little over a year and love it. I'd recommend the ref. 145.022, since you can find really great examples of those for under $4,000, which I think happens to be a great deal both relative to brand new Speedmasters as well as in the larger context of vintage watches.

You have mostly sports watches and a sporty dresswatch (or dressy sports watch?!)
A golden dresswatch is missing
and a nice pocketwatch! IMO

After that I d look for a hummer or
a 70s HA Quartz, something unusual!

P.S. Or a different approach;
All Your watches are round cased what’s about a square one ...?!

All the pieces of the puzzle.

Be careful not to cut yourself on that case, it's sharp! Beautiful condition!
