Meteorite or Submariner

Hi. I would welcome your feelings about what I should do.
I am thinking of buying a new watch this weekend and was convinced it was going to be the Omega Speedmaster Meteorite Limited edition, But then I saw the Green Ceramic Submariner and am a bit confused now. I already have the TT blue ceramic Sub, do you think a change to Omega would be a better choice or not. Your advise will be very welcome. Thanks In advance

The date of the OP is 10/15....My question is what did he get? I would have voted for the green ceramic sub as well.

I've put in about 200 hours researching Rolex and Omega. Omega makes the more accurate watch, and Omega hold's its value (when you consider the discount from MSRP).

I would buy the Omega.

Interesting. How so more accurate? What stats are being used to demonstrate that? Is this with current movements? Just curious because although I realize my sample size is insignificant my subc is essentially spot on atomic standards and my brothers 1 year old speedmaster has lost 10 sec per day consistently.

Because you have a sub I'm saying speedy. I saw the meteorite speedy at the boutique it's truly eye pleasing and rare to see in the wild.
