Which Collection Would You Choose?
Thinking of going two different directions with my collection, curious to hear other opinions. I already have the Speedmaster pro on leather. Which would you choose?
Option 1: - Omega Speedmaster Professional leather strap - 126710BLRO - AP RO 15400 - ALS 1815 Annual Calendar Option 2: - Omega Speedmaster Professional leather strap - 126710BLRO - Platinum Day-Date 40 Ice Blue Diagnal Motif |

Option 1 would make an amazing and complete collection.
 PP Aquanaut instead of AP Royal Oak ..............

The 1st option would provide more variety although the platinum DD40 is truly a beautiful piece.

Option 1. Definitely. Though both sets fantastic. Great to have such a conundrum.

Option 2. Not a big fan of the AP 15400 and Lange Annual calendar.
I have the DD40 that you listed. It is quickly becoming my favorite and it is so nice and versatile. |

So it's really the DD vs. the AP and the ALS...
Not an AP fan but like the ALS a lot. Plus I like the brand diversity in option 1. But a platinum DD would be difficult to pass on. I guess not liking the AP I'd have to go option 2 if I were making the choice. Having a platinum watch would be a pure joy. |

Option #2. I’ll always take a platinum DD and whatever is paired with it over AP and ALS.

Option 2 but I’d sub out the diagonal motif for the deconstructed Roman dial.
