Between Omega Speedy vs Omega Aqua Terra as my first luxury watch for my 30th. Curious to hear peoples thoughts on which to buy. I feel like everyone has the speedy.

Moonwatch if you are into all things space, hands down.

Speedy is iconic, a chrono is useful, and the watch is just overall great. That said, it has poor water resistance, a manual wind movement with only a two year warranty, and the “true” version has a scratchable Hesalite crystal (the “sapphire sandwich” is good but adds $1k to the price and changes the character of the watch).

The AT is an all around beast, but lacks the charm that a moonwatch has.

Basically: your brain should say AT, and your heart should say Speedy. Try on both and contact me so I can get you a great price on either (or both!!!).

What’s your budget? Do you travel? My first luxury watch was a GMT. I remember justifying the expense w/ the practicality of tracking two time zones when working an international case study

Aqua terra for me. Stunning watch!

I’m a classic guy. Speedy ftw

I’ve got both. Aquaterra is more versatile if you plan on having one really nice watch. A chrono is a great second watch (if you decide to ever get there)

I would go speedy. It is amazing with no pretense. And not everyone has one, if you walk around you see mostly Rolex

^I meant First Man lmao

For anyone who owns two or more watches - how much do you wear each? Several months back I bought a second watch and have not worn the first since. Out of habit I just wear the same watch every day. I still like the first watch and don’t want to sell but also realize it’s smarter to sell if I don’t wear it. Anyone struggle with this and have tips on how to get into the habit of rotating?
