two legendary chronographs designed for the sports car enthusiasts, two horological icons of the past and the present with an amazing history.

Side by side a 1966 Rolex Cosmograph ref. 6239 and a 1959 Speedmaster ref. 2998.

Fortunately enough, I don't have to make a choice between these two....it would be impossible !

Impressive pics of true monsters, Jeff...

I'm more on the Dayto than on the Omega Speed, but I have o confess that when you post them side by side, they are boh fantastic, with a lot of charm, indeed.

You're a lucky guy, my friend.

Best.

And thanks for this very nice post.

I love them both, but I like the size of the Speedmaster more.

They are two big icons in watch history.

Cheers,

Very well done on the pic comparison between this two beauties. I haven't realised how close characters both watches have in common until I look at your post.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers and Happy Holidays.

are both using the same caliber ?

Omega cal. 321 (Lemania 2310)

Rolex cal. 72B/722/727 (Valjoux 72)

 

Much more finished...

Legends...

Best.

for the inside view, at a glance almost thought they are the same, another valuable lesson been learnt, appreciate that

Happy New Year
