Two very different watches.

I went with the THC personally. Black dial.

Blackdog · 5 October 2016, 03:47 AM

Price may be similar, but not even in the same league. Speedmaster Professional without question.

rollee1 · 5 October 2016, 04:26 AM

The answer lies in the watch trading market.
Speedmaster 3570.50 is classic and stunning on the wrist, can be spotted from a mile out, forever desired in the watch enthusiasts world, lots of strap options and fairly simple to service.

THC is like a pretty new crush, good watch runs accurate, they seem to be forever on sale and slower to move.
As a toy buy it cause it's fairly affordable, but as a timeless statement there's only one speedy.

THC Grey, tried this on a few weeks ago. Feels and looks great.

Think this chap has it nailed they are both chronographs but that's it they are both different and you need both!! Lovely watches both of them, the Omega a legend with the moon landings. Both fantastic however.

I went with the THC, but I yield all the glory to the Speedy Pro.

I looked at the Omega many times over the years and never sprang for it.

I looked at the black THC once and said to the AD owner, "That's my next watch."

Same thoughts for me almost word for word, expect I bought the blue Tudor.

I've got both and if pressed to pick a favorite I'd have to go withe the Speedy. The THC is a fantastic piece, but it doesn't have the history and iconic place in history that the Speedy has. The chunky case proportions lack the finesse of the Speedy, and no other Chrono can match the perfect symmetry and legibility, IMO. The downside to the Speedy is true water resistance, which would be a deal breaker if it were any only watch.

I wear my speedy while swimming all the time. Never had an issue. My vote is Speedmaster.

omitohud · 5 October 2016, 06:14 AM

U ask on a Tuesday, so it has to b a speedy.

I blame it on the autoconnect.

THC for me. Personally I've never been a fan of Speedy.

Thunderdan · 5 October 2016, 06:31 AM

For history, looks, and collectibility, tough to beat the Speedy.

DCheeta · 5 October 2016, 06:51 AM

I have always been a big fan of the Speedmaster.

stratguy · 5 October 2016, 12:21 PM

They are both fantastic watches. Having said that, I would go with the Speedmaster. Love this pic.

I looked at both and bought the Speedmaster. No regrets.

Old Expat Beast · 5 October 2016, 10:57 AM

THC, for, among other things, the timezone bezel and the date (got to add a cyclops, though, for the added heritage look, better overall balance, and to be able to read the damn thing). Prefer the grey to the blue.

faz · 5 October 2016, 10:59 AM

Both are beautiful watches.

There are a couple of Omega watches that I like, Speedmaster being one of them, although I must say when I saw it in person, it wasn't nearly as good looking as the pictures make it look. It looked somewhat lower quality compared to Rolex.

I am just starting to warm up to Tudor, mainly after being on this forum and seeing nice things being said about them. Personally I always thought of Tudor as a watch with toy'ish look. Again, I am now starting to like the looks so no offense to those who own Tudor watches (probably on the horizon for me somewhere.)

So there, for a watch newbie like me, a Speedmaster purchase will happen way before a Tudor.

To be fair a Speedy is a true vintage design and you'd have to compare it to the quality of a mid-60s Sub and the quality is comparable or better. Its also thinner and flatter since it's not a dive watch and an even more modern size. Of course there's no date and it is a 55 year old design with a hesalite crystal though you can buy a sapphire version too (but why?)

It's no match in build quality compared to a 2016 Sub but to be fair it's a third of the price. The Speedy is probably still the best bang for your watch buck there is and a true modern classic tool watch.

Of course that only matters if you like them and you can count me in!
