<<< The Beagle Has Landed >>>
My friend Cru Jones said I could use a little blue in my modest collection, so I took his advice.
I’ve always loved the story behind this watch and to quote Cru from an earlier conversation … this watch is “such a great mix of serious, whimsy and history”. Everyone knows this reference well by now, so I figured I’d just share my initial impressions and provide a few very amateur photos comparing it to my 321. To me the star of the show is the dial. It’s impossible to photograph and it usually comes out looking whiter than it really is. It’s a chameleon of rich opalescent shimmery silver. It’s has a lot of depth. The blue ceramic bezel and subdials are darker than they appear in photos and they too change in color depending on the light. The watch wears very well, not too tall IMO and about the same as my 321. I ordered the polished bracelet for the Speedy Pro and it should arrive on Wednesday. I’m a bracelet guy through and through and after seeing a few of you owners here opt for this I decided to do the same As to which I prefer more, the 321 still reigns supreme. It just feels more special and of higher quality finish … not that the Snoopy is a dog … well I mean he is, but you get the point Btw, it’s Norma approved Anyway, happy Saturday folks thanks for listening.

WOW, love that, Brian!
I'm a sucker for 2 tone sub dials and the blue just takes it over the top. dP

Major congrats Brian. I love the watch and I have actually kept mine on the fabric strap. It does slacken off and I don’t mind it.
Wear in good health and enjoy, the snoopy is a bit of fun at the end of the day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Congratulations on this special Speedy! The silver dial is truly stunning. I was able to try it on once at the Omega Boutique. In the background of the picture is my favorite Speedy Hesalit.

So happy for you Brian!! Thanks for letting me be part of some of the behind the scenes fun. It’s been a great ride and now I’m looking forward to seeing how you get along with this great watch. :-) Enjoy! And yes, I was sad to see the 690 go, but this new blue pairs so well with your 321. Well done and great move. |
