There is a large variety of Speedmaster dates and racings.
Try one in for size first, I find they wear a bit smaller then the 40mm suggests. Additionally the sub dial detailing I think works better with the Panda type
Dials, not solid color dials.
I find I rarely wear mine and wear my pro instead.
Agreed, prefer the panda dial
I'd go for the blue dial. For one thing, I like the shape of the date window, the 6-9-12 positioning of the subdials and the (in)famous 7750 wobble.
But more importantly, these features make it it's own watch rather than a speedy pro wannabe. The gorgeous blue dial and bezel simply reinforce that further.
I think the blue dial is a knockout, but might actually prefer the date at 6 if that was offered. Forgive my ignorance, but what is the 7750 wobble?
The Valjoux 7750 movement has a rotor that winds in one direction, but moves freely in the other. Because of (I think) inertia, this can produce a wobbling sensation on the wrist, especially if it isn't fully would. Many people at first seem to think it's broken (I did anyway) but it's a known phenomenon that I've grown to like. It makes the watch feel more 'alive' somehow.
Well, I knew about bumpers, but the wobblers are a new one on me. Thanks for your observation and explanation. In addition to reading forum postings, what are some of the better sources for detailed information about current Omega movements? The Omega USA site gives mostly marketing-related info and caliber designations, but little background data revealing movement adaptations, limitations, etc. I've just started frequenting Fratellos and similar sites, but it appears I have a lot more homework to do.

There's not much to know outside that. What info do you want. Your 2 pics have been out of production for awhile.
