I much prefer the speedy

Speedmaster, all day every day.

SimplyWatches · 2 October 2018, 11:41 AM

I would say Speedmaster for sure I owned one of these and I loved it.

WJGESQ · 2 October 2018, 12:02 PM

Tudor in now way compares to Omega.

One has real history.

The other was conceived as a bargain Rolex and has no particular claim to fame.

Speedmaster Professional

exador · 2 October 2018, 12:50 PM

Speedys wear funny. Black Bay Fifty-Eight for the win.

Greg75 · 2 October 2018, 01:05 PM

To me (and to many), the Speedy Pro Moon or pre-moon is the most iconic, must-own watch in its price range.

yes, and I kept my speedy. No regret.

It depends what else you have in your collection but I'd personally rather have a Speedmaster, but make mine a sapphire sandwich. I'd add a 114060 down the line too and never think twice about selling the Tudor.

Hollie_Rollie · 2 October 2018, 01:19 PM

I’d vote for the speedy. If it was a bb58 I’d probably vote bb58

I currently own an 114060 so we are on the same page!

Very interesting. I have the BB and looking to flip to get the Speedmaster, so kind of the same situation but exact opposite. Pretty sure I’m going to do it.

watchmavan · 2 October 2018, 05:25 PM

Agreed,they're both beautiful watches. I have both. Couldn't have just one. But I did flip the ETA model.

Speedmaster.

codecow · 2 October 2018, 09:30 PM

Easiest trade, yeah I’d do that.

mac_135 · 2 October 2018, 10:24 PM

Thanks for all the replies. Gotta love how this forum can help make a decision, especially when just about everyone has the same opinion. Just might sell the Tudor today if the buyer is serious.

3581512 · 3 October 2018, 01:29 AM

If it was the 39mm black bay I would have a harder time, but out of these two I would go speedmaster

2geeze · 3 October 2018, 03:47 AM

I have both, and I'd choose the Speedy if it came down to one. I will say though that the Black Bay on an Everest rubber band is a great tool watch.

HogwldFLTR · 3 October 2018, 03:52 AM

Wearing a Mark II Co-Ax as I type. Great watches!!! I love dive watches but there's always something special about Chronos!!!

I bought the speedy pro first and the black bay red eta later...

Stalex · 3 October 2018, 05:53 AM

In this contest the Speedy wins my vote over the BB58 any day any time.

Omega Speedy moon watch

lilokito · 3 October 2018, 06:24 AM

Speedy all the way!

Yobber76 · 3 October 2018, 06:45 AM

I would go with the Speedmaster

xspect · 3 October 2018, 07:13 AM

I had both. The Tudor went bye bye. The speedy is one of my ride or die

Just curious, how can manual wind make something "not an option", so that you would literally buy "anything else" instead?

Are you very physically disabled and incapable of turning a crown once every few days when you're wearing it?
If OP is looking for style and something to pad out a versatile wardrobe rather than an out-and-out tool, I don't think auto vs manual wind comes into it so much anyway...

I have a Tudor BB red and like it a lot (the early ETA version). With the red bezel, the ability to put it on a variety of leather straps, and those 'vintage-looking' hands and markers, it can easily co-exist in the same collection as something like a ceramic bezel Sub on a steel Oyster (or a Sub on an Everest or RubberB, for that matter). I'm happy with mine alongside a seadweller and don't feel it overlaps too much.

You're right, you don't need to cover every possible tool available if you're making a solid collection of quality pieces with their own individual personalities. The Speedy is a classic of course, but personally I prefer the Daytona or other chronos so would be inclined to keep the BB red while saving to add something rather than replace what I had.

But if you're bored of the BB red having already tried a strap change, and you think the Speedy will make you happier - then by all means, change from the 'modern classic' to the more famous classic sports. Nobody ever got called a fool for choosing to own a Hesalite Speedy over a Tudor within a 3 or 5 watch collection. It just isn't for me, personally.
