Which Chronograph do you think represents the best value for money, the THC Blue or the Omega Speedmaster Pro 3570.50 ?

Speedmaster, best value and best history

heatscore · 15 September 2013, 10:56 AM

I have no experience with the THC, but the speedy is a fantastic watch for the money.

peitron · 15 September 2013, 11:01 AM

Speedy. THC is a cool chrono, but it's not in the same league.

karmatp · 15 September 2013, 11:05 AM

Speedy Pro by a mile, not even close.

Sam Philip · 15 September 2013, 11:10 AM

Omega speedmaster

Tudor Fan · 15 September 2013, 11:14 AM

If the comparison were between the Speedy and the regular THC grey dial, I'd choose the Tudor.
But since it is not I too go with the Omega this time around.

SaddleSC · 15 September 2013, 11:18 AM

Speedy Pro is perhaps the most iconic chrono of all time with an incredibly rich history. No comparison.

I have the 3570.50 and the THC. The Speedmaster is the better value but the THC is the better timekeeper (+1.5/day vs +7/day). I think the THC is more interesting to look at and wear. Still, for what you get in an Omega Speedmaster 3570.50, there is no better value in the world of watches.

EDIT: I know you asked about the THC Blue. Right now you can get the THC for $1000 LESS than the THC Blue. That makes the Speedmaster an even better value compared to the THC Blue.

salty_snack · 15 September 2013, 12:10 PM

Really... Out of all the chronographs out there you give us these two options to choose from? Easily the speedmaster between the two but there are better out there.

kilyung · 15 September 2013, 12:16 PM

Speedy

Singslinger · 15 September 2013, 01:42 PM

No question - Speedy.

I chose these two because they are the ones I am most interested in, and they are similarly priced.

Thanks to all for your input, I appreciate it.

evilfij · 15 September 2013, 01:46 PM

I have both and I have to say the date feature and automatic of the THC adds tremendously to the value calculation. I think the blue is special because it is new, but a grey or black THC is on par with the speedy as far as value.

Salty, what Chrono would you propose is a better value than an Omega Speedmaster Professional 3570.50?

Cabaiguan · 15 September 2013, 08:39 PM

No question...Speedy.

Racerdj · 15 September 2013, 09:55 PM

A bargain. Iconic look, uses a Lemania movement that can also be found in Patek's and Vacheron's. Great history on top of that.

Cc1966 · 15 September 2013, 11:02 PM

In the long run, I would go for the THC (but I am sure in the minority here).

mrhy · 15 September 2013, 11:39 PM

I have a THC and a speedy,the speedy is the best regardless of price
