Personal taste of course. But if it was me i'd rather go with the submariner with green dial.

Have a look here: http://www.omega-addict.com/reviews/hands/
I uses to collect Speedys, and yours looks to me like a new style hand, not what is typical of the pre-moon models (look at the butt-end of the chronograph seconds hand). The hand on yours looks like the kind that went into service with the cal. 861, not the earlier castle-wheel 321s.
In any case, it is a great watch.


It IS a 861.

Both looks good, but why choose, it comes with both? The choice is between the leather strap and the steel bracelet (which also comes with the fabric strap). Ideally I'd want all three :D

Doh. You're right. I obviously fail at properly comprehending websites. Leather + nato it is then.
