Hi all im in a lucky position to buy either a Tudor smiley eta blackbay or an omega speedmaster professional both are priced almost the same , I currently wear a rolex 43mm red anniversary sea dweller and own a Tudor black bay state of Qatar watch which is in stickers that I have no plans to ever wear , I bought the Qatar for the rarity in all honesty , I plan to wear either the speedy or the blackbay eta so ive got a few hard choices to I welcome your thoughts.
p.s happy new year guys ! |

Speedmaster is a classic. I would check out the sapphire caseback one, that move is beautiful

I had this same dilemma a couple of years ago and chose the Tudor Black Bay blue ETA.

Just get the one you like the most.
But if you're serious about what the Speedy is and understand the history, then get that one first and then consider the Tudor later. I vote Speedy Pro Hesalite. |

I would pick up the Tudor now. The ETA models are getting harder to find. The Speedmaster will always be there for you at a later time.

I have both, and the BB gets more wrist time. It just wears a lot more comfortably.
