Incoming!!! First Omega and slightly excited.

So I have pulled the trigger on my first Omega. Always liked the look of their offerings but never took the time to really learn the line. My collection as it sits now is a 36mm DJ on an oyster, a DSSD classic black, a Nomos Orion, a Archimede bronze pilot and bronze diver, many Shinola offerings and a lot of G Shocks.

My AD was having a tent sale and seeing as he is several hours away and I was busy today I had him send me some pics of what he thought I would like to add. He sent pics of this and a Tudor Advisor on leather. As I was able to get such a good price and the Crown and Buckle NATO thrown in for no charge I pulled the trigger. The original contrast stitch brown leather on a tang is also included. I know it is a Speedmaster and I know that I like it. Beyond that I would love to hear folks opinions and thoughts.

Thanks for looking and more to come when it arrives.

Thank you everyone. For some reason I am not getting notified of the responses to the thread. Sorry for he delay. My dssd nor any others have got any wrist time since this one hit the door. Might have enabled me to flip the dssd now????

Incoming!!! First Omega and slightly excited.

Enjoy! Great choice. I bought one just a few weeks ago. Had only learned about this model, a predecessor to the NASA certified Moonwatch, and selected by Mercury Astronaut Wally Schirra before NASA adopted the Moonwatch.

I like the subtle differences in design. I also like the slightly smaller case, a better fit for me than my dad's vintage Moonwatch, which has been with me since 1991.

A great value, too, I think. Handsome, rugged and classic.

A timeless timepiece.

Mine says hello...

Congrats. I really like mine. The differences are the things that I most appreciate.
