Omega Speedmaster 3861 Vs Cartier Santos Medium
Currently I have the Rolex explorer 124270. Looking to add on either the Speedy or Santos medium in my collection. Which would you prefer ? and what's the reason for choosing that. Chronograph or the Classic?

Both of these are on my short list, and the loose plan is to add one this spring and one within 2 years.
I will be adding the Speedy as I don’t have a chronograph, however, if I had the Rolex Explorer, I would get the Santos. Those two pair as the perfect two watch collection. Two GADA sports watches that can be dressed up or dressed down, one white dial and one black dial.
The black Speedy and the black Explorer do not pair as well.
Very different options, both great, but the Cartier although it's a very well known, it's something you don't see everyday , I wouldn't say the something about a Speedmaster, but choose what YOU like. 👍

Agreed! The combination of both white and black dial complement well together. 💯
The easy answer is buy 1 then buy the other later haha. There are 2 arguments here. One is color and one is function. Technically the speedmaster is different than the explorer because it's a chronograph, but they are both black. The Santos and the Explorer are both 3 handers. Just have to ask yourself whats more important to you. Adding a chronograph function? Or a Different color? I Personally would get the Speedy and then get a Tank.
Speedy all day everyday. Perhaps because I intend to pick one up within 2023, but back to you I feel your explorer is closer GADA-wise to the Santos than the Speedy is, and the latter would be a better complement.

Great idea for getting the 2 of them! haha 💸💸 Chronograph is cool, although I think will seldom use that function but nice to look at it. hmmm interesting tank... the black tank will be sleek and cool
Speedmaster, for sure. Why? Because I'm an Omega fanboy & I'm not really into square cases.
hey . i absolutely love the speedy . and omega with its heritage cant be beat . they make amazing looking watch . the santos is nothing to scoff at but in my opinion, the moonwatch wins .

yeah, made sense. You can never go wrong with the speedy. Speedy is a strap monster too!

Soon I will be an Omega fanboy too hahaha
Both great, but I have a Speedy and never been a fan of Roman numerals, so Omega is my choice. However, you choice is what counts!
Speedmaster. Looks sharp and professional in all attire. A square Cartier can come off pretty dainty and fragile.

yeah I love its heritage and history behind it. Amazing time piece. Seems like speedy is the way to go
If you want the Omega, get it now. The prices goes up on February 1st.
