I have a Speedmaster and Submariner and wanted a dress watch. I walked into an AD with the intent of getting one, and walked out with another diver instead. Maybe someday I'll get a dress watch...

Driver8 · 31 May 2022, 01:10 AM

Personally I'd keep the variety - an automatic 3 hander with sapphire crystal (114060) and a manual wind chronograph with Hesalite (Speedy).

Both the Sub and Speedmaster are icons in their own right, and while the OP name is very historic, I find the current OP models distinctly ordinary. There's not a lot that's special about it IMO, apart from some "trendy" colours that some seem to like these days.

JMO of course!

ArtNouveau · 31 May 2022, 01:14 AM

I would rather have the OP than a Sub, would keep the Speedmaster.

Stan Cooper · 31 May 2022, 01:17 AM

Very limited poll options. If it were I, I'd keep the pair you've got and add a reference with a date window, like a Datejust 36 or 41 with dial, bezel, and bracelet to suit your tastes.

taitun4life · 31 May 2022, 01:18 AM

OP ain’t nothing but hype so get caught up in that train. Stick with what you have mate…

Bladeshot · 31 May 2022, 01:23 AM

All 3 are similar in terms of black dial. OP is not for me. Keep and add? Something other than a black dial? Dealers are not buying. You’ll get clobbered if you sell-trade.

JayHantz · 31 May 2022, 01:26 AM

I would honestly keep the Sub and the Speedy. Wait to add the OP but not in black, for me that is too similar to your Sub, especially having both with the time only complication. The Speedy is great on a bracelet, NATO, and leather strap to add some variety; I wouldn’t part with it.

Ok, just call it a Speedmaster then. Problem solved.

OG1982 · 31 May 2022, 01:39 AM

Keep the Speedmaster. You already have a boring 3 hander from Rolex, you don't need another. BTW, I have a 124060 so speak from experience. It may be boring, but it does it so well!

Now back to the OP, that really is boring so please don't sell that nice Omega to fund it.

burnthesehills · 31 May 2022, 02:00 AM

Some unanswered questions here, but I may have missed it. Do you wear your Speedmaster often? If you do and enjoy it, then I would keep it. I personally really really like the simplicity and look of the OP41. I’m not a huge fan of additional complications.

The other question is whether you were buying from an AD or grey. If you can sell your Speedmaster for a decent price and buy the OP 41 at retail, I personally would do it. But I definitely would not recommend paying grey prices for the OP41.

mountainjogger · 31 May 2022, 02:03 AM

Love the black OP 41. Speedy would not get any wrist time with me. So, I would do it.

Gerardus · 31 May 2022, 02:54 AM

I would do it, but that's just me.

WatchGuy1966 · 31 May 2022, 03:09 AM

Speedmaster and Submariner are such an awesome duo

You can’t solve a problem that doesn’t exist, only create one.

rG2022 · 31 May 2022, 03:43 AM

I would keep the speedmaster. The DJ does not look as interesting. Speedmaster also gives a wide range of options when it comes to straps (compared to the DJ).

101031-28 · 31 May 2022, 04:00 AM

I would definitely keep the Speedmaster. OP41 is meh comprared to the Iconic Moonwatch

Oyster Sauce · 31 May 2022, 04:01 AM

Don't do it. Sub + Speedy = ultimate tool combo

Santiago32 · 31 May 2022, 04:27 AM

Explorer 1 39mm would be better than the OP imo.

CarlOver · 31 May 2022, 05:01 AM

Clearly you like black dials. Clearly OP is a cleaner design than the Speedmaster. Is that what you are going for? The thickness of thr Speedmaster is a bit of a turn off for me. The OP is nice and sleek and slim.

MasterControl · 31 May 2022, 07:40 AM

Too similar for me. I would get the OP41.

lig · 31 May 2022, 07:45 AM

Piling on. Speedy Pro > OP 41

I would not even consider that move.

rolexperfect · 31 May 2022, 07:45 AM

I’d get a dress watch instead. PP or VC.

Cambo · 31 May 2022, 07:51 AM

logo · 31 May 2022, 07:54 AM

the correct addition here is a DJ fluted with jubilee, but would keep the sub and speedmaster

Cru Jones · 31 May 2022, 07:56 AM

No.

Buy a strap for the Speedy to change things up.

The Speedmaster is a strap monster. The OP? Not so much.

EmpireCity · 31 May 2022, 08:00 AM

I say get the OP if at MSRP
