    Hi everyone,
    I'd like to pick up a 44mm speedy and was wondering which model members would recommend?
    I was pursuing a 001, but it's already sold. Also considering this one https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-speedmaster-311-30-44-50-01-001-44-25-auto-enamel-dial.41155/
    I believe both of the above models have three sub-dials with the date.

    Additionally, I've been looking at the two subdial variations with the 9300 movement, which people are asking in the range of $4800-5500 preowned and new. Are these a good prices? I'm somewhat unfamiliar with Omegas and would like to know what should I expect to pay for a pre-owned or new 44mm speedy.

    Thank,you,

    Any thread asking for which one of 2 or 3 watches should I get: the most common response is get the one that speaks to you the most. it's a good advice. it's your watch. get what you like the best.

    asking if price is good: you will get smart donkey answers here to say dude, just google, check eBay transactions, or do basic search. personally, no idea, so sorry.

    oh, and since you are asking about a speedy, a small forest animal will stop by at some point to say something about yet another Speedy thread.

    the one you linked: the seller, Kringkily, is highly respected as a member, known to providing fair prices on his items.

    welcome to the forum.

    Personally I'd go with the 9300, I am biased I have 4 9300 based Omegas, one POC and three Speedmasters.

    Great watches in a great size.

    Thank you. Appreciate you taking the time to give me honest feedback on the seller and potential purchase. I decided to go ahead and get the enamel dial. I like the fact the dial layout is similar to the professional and it has a date.

    Thanks again,
