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

kieselguhr · 1 January 2020, 08:48 AM

You already have a Tudor BB and a Rolex SD. I say go speedy

Danny83 · 1 January 2020, 09:00 AM

Black Bay even though everyone is gonna say Omega

jclaraperea · 1 January 2020, 09:03 AM

I'm with you on this Danny. Never much of a Speedy fan.

stevedssd · 1 January 2020, 09:14 AM

Speedy

boogiebot · 1 January 2020, 09:26 AM

I think I’d lean towards the omega

I've had both and would chose the Speedmaster. Such a classic and on the Tudor side I would pick a a GMT over a BB eta

Speedmaster Moonwatch. Hesalite only.

EndlessEight · 1 January 2020, 01:34 PM

almost bought the Black Bay myself.

Would definitely target the Speedmaster Moonwatch with hesalite.

HORNBLOWER · 1 January 2020, 02:12 PM

BB noir smiley.

Ballzzz · 1 January 2020, 05:07 PM

BBN from a biased owner!

Ian Macdermott · 1 January 2020, 08:01 PM

Tough choice Gary, glad I don't have to make it.

Try them both on and go with the one you like.

2x!

Galaga167 · 1 January 2020, 09:23 PM

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

Dirt · 1 January 2020, 09:24 PM

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.

1William · 1 January 2020, 10:46 PM

Based on your collection I would go with the Speedy.

Bluside · 1 January 2020, 10:50 PM

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.

Dybala · 1 January 2020, 10:53 PM

Speedy Pro hesalite

fskywalker · 2 January 2020, 12:33 AM

Speedy hesalite

Nightscope817 · 1 April 2020, 08:30 AM

Speedy Pro with hesalite is the only move

WatchGuy1966 · 1 April 2020, 09:28 AM

Eventually, you shall own both.

s46 · 1 April 2020, 09:45 AM

speedy in hesalite for sure

sickened1 · 1 April 2020, 09:53 AM

Tudor Black Bay.

Beo3 · 1 April 2020, 10:08 AM

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

JimSnyder · 1 April 2020, 10:17 AM

I have always wanted one. Speedmaster, Moon watch
