: As you can see the discounted NIB prices are

: noting that the used watches are valued
: within $50 of each other. I am therefore
: asking, all things being (fairly) equal,
: which of these 4 watches would you prefer
: and why ?
: Thank you.

Are these the only choices you are given? For my personal taste, there is something I do not like in all four:
- The Speedmaster Reduced has a poor ETA-based movement, as stated in another mail. Please note that it is significantly cheaper that any other automatic clok in Omega cataloque
- All the rest are quartz, which I am not fond of.

If you can afford it, or willing to wait a litter longer for a better opportunity in the second hand market, I would recommend either the Speedmaster date with the Valyoux 7750 movement or the Seamaster auto. Both are nice, reliable and relatively easy to find at a good price.
