    Looking for an Omega to go with my 116610ln. Trying to decide between the TT SMP in Blue and Sedna gold on Rubber vs Speedy sapphire sandwich.

    Thanks!

    If I were you, I would get the Speedy Pro on alligator strap. And if I wanted a bracelet later, I would get the one on the Apollo 11 50th.

    You already have a black dial on stainless bracelet. The blue/sedna SMP on rubber would mix it up more imo.

    Get the Speedy. It will add versatility to your collection and is another iconic watch.

    Like all these threads, I need age, job and weekend activities prior to me giving you my expert advice on your next watch.

    You have a diver, get the Speedy! Its still sporty yet can be worn easily on leather with a suit.

    the speedmaster is a bargain and apart from the colour scheme it is very different to the sub, and if you want the SMP blue go for the regular version the sedna premium is not worth it.

    Jokes aside, the Aqua Terra would actually compliment the Sub well in a collection. It's distinct styling and elegant case design would provide you with a reprieve from the monochrome, chunkiness aesthetic of the Sub.

    I believe it is Watch Law to have a Sub and Speedy combo.

    Instead of adding another automatic diver to the collection I would consider the Speedmaster. I personally like having more variety and versatility in my collection and adding the manual wind chronograph would provide that. If you are more of a dive watch enthusiast then I could understand wanting to add another diver.

    Go with the regular Blue Seamaster, two-tone isn't for me!

    Another vote for the Speedy. Very versatile watch because it pairs so well with all sorts of straps. A black alligator for business, a tan barenia for casual, soccer-team themed NATOs for summer tournaments, shell cordovan if you wish to make your watch an enjoyable sensation for the nose in addition to your eyes, etc... possibilities are endless!

    As for considerations on the SMP 300 - would a loud rotor spinning noise bother you? How about occasionally feeling vibrations of the rotor as it spins against your wrist? Both of those are deal-breakers for me from my past experience with the 880x movement range that's used in the current-gen SMP. I find the ceramic ball bearings used on that movement makes the rotor spin very loud, and antithetical to the experience of a luxury watch. Your submariner has a silent rotor action, so something to bear in mind.

    Here's my older gen SMP 300, alongside a hesalite Speedy and a Sub
