Good Evening,

I am going to purchase a new watch in a week or so and I would like your opinion on these two watches please.
I am looking at a Breitling Navitimer, black dial with white sub dials and an Omega Speedmaster Pro ref # 3573.50.00 manual wind.
I like the two but only one at a time.

Thank you.

Snitch

It really depends on what you want out of a watch. The Navitimer is elegant, but also heavy, durable, and imposing. The Speedmaster is slim, trim, and light. People will definitely notice the Navitimer more.

Make sure the Speedmaster is real...there as some incredibly good replicas of that particular model.

Two great watches but I would imagine most people on this board would go for the Navi first.

Both are classics and you can't go wrong with either. You will probably end up getting both!
