Omega without a doubt!!!!

I bought a new Speedmaster Pro last year and the detail and build quality on these watches are amazing!

I personally wouldn't even consider a Tag over an Omega, they're in two different leagues in my opinion!

I went for the model with the plastic crystal as that is what was used on the original "moon watch" but they also make one with a sapphire crystal but i think this has a different model number to the actual moon watch.

Omega... absolutely!!!
The Speedy Pro is a true legend! The history behind it (and behind Omega as a company) makes it all so worthwhile...

My question: I have not yet seen the Omega SMP Chrono Diver in real life. Are the hands and indices more green like shown on your pic, or white, like shown on the pic from Omega.ch?

I guess your pic just shows the dial in slight "lume mode", but I would like to know for sure.
Finally I am home Bo and you have probably found out by now what you wanted to know! Anyway, I have just checked the colour of my lume in natural light and it is certainly not as white as the promo photo and not as green as mine shows, it's a bit in between, sort of a light tinted greeny blue, very subtle, certainly not white.
Hope this helps, good luck

Thanks for the clarification!

Does the indices and hands have the same colour as the ones of C.J.'s newly bought SMP?

Omega gets my vote.

I have an SMP and really enjoy it.

If you scroll down CJ's photo's to the last one before the lume shot you will see a slight hint of green which is more the colour mine is, it's very subtle. I have attached another photo I took a few minutes ago outside in the shade (it's a very bright morning) which shows this green tint.

In the light, mine does show a little green. I think the surrounds on yours applied markers just accentuates yours a bit
