How to decide?

Hi All,

I've been lurking for a few weeks. Lots of good info here, thanks for all I've learned so far.

I've got a Tag and have decided to add an Omega. Now which one?

Here are my choices, all Speedies:

Day-Date 3221.30.00
Moon-phase - 3576.50.00 , display back
50th xxxx/5957 - 311.30.42.30.01.001

I think purist hate the last watch, I like the look of the gold seahorse and red Omega, wish it had a display back.

Can the 24 hour marker on the Day-date be used to track a 2nd time zone? I can't find anything in the manual.

My front runner is currently the moon-phase with display back.

I welcome any thoughts you might have toward upcoming decision.

Can someone shoot me the details for the forum favorite AD?
