...which one would you choose? I have some "pocket money" and these are both for sale locally. Both have full kit and are within a few hundred $ of each other.

The Tudor a no brainer you should not have to ask.
Re: I like them both, but...
Omega, by far.
As much as that is a good BB, the larger case with the BB (vs) the 58 - is just not as clean and proportioned.
The omega is a classic - and hard to find. The original 1120 movements will run forever, and are omega's original workhorse.

Omega. The case sits so much better.

Re: I like them both, but...
Typically like Tudors, but between those two, I would go with the Omega.
Re: I like them both, but...
2231 for me. Awesome watch. Wish I hadn’t sold mine.

Re: I like them both, but...
I don’t like watches that use a soft grade of TI. They don’t hold up at all. I also don’t like that BB. I’d skip both and go with a 2254.
Re: I like them both, but...
You should get the Tudor and hook me up with the Omega.

Re: I like them both, but...
I would take the Omega because it will fit me better on natos, which is how I would wear that Seamaster. I had the original blue Seamaster "Bond" (similar case to that one) and on bracelet it was a tad too thin for my liking. As soon as I tried a PO, I sold it to get a PO.
That Tudor is really, really nice, but it's big for my wrist on natos. If I was to wear it on the bracelet or a rubber strap, I would go for it.

Re: I like them both, but...
The Omega for sure. if you decide to pass on that one and it's in Canada, I would be interested in getting in line to buy it.
Re: I like them both, but...
I'd go with the Omega. More comfortable and easier to sell if it doesn't stick. I actually like the design of the BB better, but I've really tried to like that case and I just can't.
But if you can find a 2254 (as was suggested), that's the way I'd go.

Re: I like them both, but...
I've had them both within the last year and I also would go with the Omega for the following reasons:
- Omega wears like a dream, Tudor not so much. Kind of top heavy and weirdly 'big', imo
- Tudor in house movement: I've had issues on both watches I've owned with that movement. Admittedly, Tudor fixed both problems, but it was a pain to ship/wait, etc...
Good luck!

Omega no doubt.
Re: I like them both, but...
Omega by a landslide for me. You never see the titanium versions anymore.

Re: I like them both, but...
I actually love that Black Bay Dave.
But I think the Seamaster in titanium mode is a little different, so maybe
would slightly lean in it's direction. It's a tough one though. Wow,
good luck in your decision here !

Re: I like them both, but...
Omega feels really light in stainless steel. I imagine in titanium it will wear even better.

No, it's not Tourettes.
