Rising Sun 🌞
Though I really like the Alaska, with it’s spaceship-like hands for the subdials, the Rising Sun is more refined imo.

Omega Speedie Tuesday. Poll: What's your favorite Speedmaster among these 2: Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games or Alaska?
Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games: Alaska Project: For me, the Alaska, but the " Rising Sun " is growing on me... For you? Best, Nicolas ...
No snoopy?
Alaska no doubt. Not even close for me even if Tokyo is nice... but how is Olympic watch with no Olympic Games to be received in future?
Strap
I believe it is sold with NATO, rubber, and white croc all in the box... I like the red lollipop as well as looks like the flag. 39.5mm and 600m water resistant makes for a sporty watch in spirit with the games. And yes no date would have been better I ag...

Tokyo for sure, but Snoopy is still No. 1
I liked the Tokyo AT very much as well. Amazing and exclusive dial effect, yet still pretty elegant.
I like them both
I regretted not getting the project alaska. Twice in fact I gave up the opportunity. It is beautiful, historically unique and a big regret. 1) Bought a GG mickey mouse instead of this. In hindsight, Project Alaska would be better. I flipped it, and made $...
Very troublesome to get (Japan domestic model)
Very very unlikely I can get this version. I missed the Vancouver Seamaster too(one of my regrets). Currently waitlisted for a Deepsea, and a BB58. I must not give in to temptations. I must not give in to temptations. Polaris next edition is on my list to...
Fingers crossed
It’s getting hard to get shortlisted to purchase the deepsea cameron here, but I gotta be patient on this. It’s a little ironic the deepsea costs more on the grey market than the AD market. Phew!
Interesting duo to compare. I gotta give a slight edge to the Alaska.
I love the Olympic watch, aside from have no interest in owning a watch for the Olympics.
Oh! Tough choice. Alaska by a narrow margin ...
But if just for the dial finishing, I would choose the Red bezel speedy! The dial of the Rising Sun has a grainy finish and at some sunlight angles, it looks fantastic: ...
Well technically the Rising Sun is not white but silver so I would have to disqualify it and choose the Alaska project here...
If these were the only 2 to consider as there are other white dials out there, namely the Silver Snoopy, 2020 Olympics panda, 35th Anniversary, Mitsukoshi, Apollo 11 25th in WG, Apollo 11 in WG from 1980, and probably a few more I am forgetting 😅🤣 But you...
Tokyo for me.
I think this is one of the best looking Speedmasters in recent years. In person that dial is just fantastic. It’s a sleeper I think. (But it’s not white Nicolas!!!). I’m still regretting a little that I didn’t buy this one. ...
Tokyo
Rising sun for sure because of its rarity look and the combo of red bezel and grainy silver dial which will get more attention from a distance . But I do not mind to have both though.
Alaska for me out of these 2!
Snoopy is still my number one of all the Speedmasters but the Alaska would be a welcome addition and I think would be cheaper than the Snoopy! The tokyo version looks awesome but for me I am not a red fan so would clash too much with my everyday clothes.....
They're both atypical . . .
. . . and not especially compelling personally, Nicolas. I rather like the Tokyo, but probably wouldn't get one even if money weren't an issue. Alaska is even more off the beaten path. Which is not to say I don't have an appreciation for white dials. I do...
That Speedy 60th belongs to a friend in HK . . .
. . . but the photo was taken by yours truly.
The perfect Speedmaster
I’ve spotter not the perfect Speedmaster. The sport is to find, and somewhere there is the perfect one. For this poll i think the Alaska is my choice. I keep on searching. What is perfect for me. Silver or a white dial, a blue basel, a metal bracelet, a h...
