The two models that I am fluctuating between are:

Rolex Oyster Perpetual


Omega Speedmaster


It’s a tough decision and I plan to purchase soon. What do you think?

Thanks.

The Omega is more versatile, that would be a big factor in my decision.

That blue is hideous. I own both a Rolex and an Omega. I'd take that speedmaster all day over the OP

Just say "No" to Rolex. I have one that was an anniversary gift. I think it may be the worst watch ever made. Keeps shitte time and requires $500 every 3 years for reconditioning and cleaning.

The Omega is hand wound, so that might be a factor. If I went with the Rolex, I'd go with the 41mm in either white or black dial.

They're dissimilar watches...

I am a Rolex guy, but I would go with the Speedmaster. Is this your first nice watch purchase? If so you want the black dial Speed Master for versatility. I have the Explorer which has history as does the Moonwatch you like.

The watches with colored dials and other things unique are for when you become a collector or Connoisseur. Start off with something historical yet simple for your first nice watch.

This should not even be a question...

Speedmaster or nothing.

Which one? I'll buy it off you

Idk how i feel about the Tiffany blue Rolex. It's a little too "look at me." I think I'd take a sapphire sandwich speedy over that one.

Now a DJ41?

I was looking at 36mm blue version of the Oyster Perpetual. The turquoise version is difficult to find.

The new Speedy, I like the modern bracelet and it’s thinner

For me they are similar, but I get it.

Go with the Speedmaster. You won’t regret it.

My driver has the Rolex and my maid has the Speedmaster. I'll check with them and get back with you.

Wearing my Speedmaster this week but I went with the white dial. My Rolex no date Sub has the black dial. Only reason I got the white. Skip that crazy color with the Rolex and go classic. Save the super trendy colors for less expensive watches.

Between these two, the Speedmaster. The Rolex with a different face color would probably win out.

I actually can't stand the Fifty Fathoms. The bezel looks like a big inner tube to me
