Hey everyone -

My collection currently includes a 16610LV, a 16710, and a Pelagos. The 16710 is black, but a pepsi insert is enroute (from ommsen). I just haven't been wearing the Pelagos enough with those other two options, so I was considering replacing it with a Speedmaster Professional. It bears a similar price, but is an entirely different watch; not only from the Pelagos, but the Sub and GMT as well.

Do you think that's a good choice? Do you wear your Speedmaster when faced with a decision between it and a Sub or GMT?

Also are there any other suggestions for a sporty chronograph, Swiss or German, in the $3000 range?

And what would this be without some wristshots?

My only conflict is between my Sub and Planet Ocean 2500. The Sub wins more than half the time, even though I think the PO is a better looking watch. Go figure. No plans to get rid of either.

I'd keep the Pelagos.

I just have an urge to diversify ...

But thanks. That will be considered.

Interesting. It was between the PO and the Pelagos for me. I could not make a decision, so I just decided to buy which ever came up for sale first! And the Pelagos it was.

That's a nice trio you have - and two out of three wrist shots on NATO, to boot!

I agree with Mike - keep the Tudor.

OK. Thanks

If anyone else thinks to keep the Pelagos, may I ask why?

eeh100773 · 3 November 2013, 03:28 AM

From where I'm sitting - Pelagos > Speedy. If you were talking about a dress watch, or a two tone or gold chrono, then the answer would be different.

You have a nice collection. Another option is to search for a user speedmaster. Sometimes you can score one for a great price and keep what you've got?

superdog · 3 November 2013, 03:32 AM

That's all tough.

Love the pelagos. But if your not wearing it. Flip it.

Z-Sub · 3 November 2013, 03:33 AM

very nice! looks great on you

AK797 · 3 November 2013, 04:05 AM

I would take a speedy over Pelagos.

subtona · 3 November 2013, 04:12 AM

If a chrono is what your after, i think speedy pro is the #1 answer regardless of price, it is a piece of art!

Chainring · 3 November 2013, 04:58 AM

If you aren't feeling the Pelagos sell it and get a Speedmaster Pro. But make sure you get the 3570.50. It's a classic and the only chronograph you need to consider at the $3000 mark.
