Icon10 Incoming! My first Omega and first speedy

I acquired my first speedmaster today. Hard to have a killer chronograph collection without one!

Since it was my first, I thought I might as well make it a good one with this all original 105.003 "Ed White" with a tropical dial and nicely faded bezel insert

Now the question is do I still buy the "speedytuesday" LE?

Have a good weekend!

Awesome choice. You really jumped in with a harder to find example. Received my first this week as well.
Big Congrats

Incoming! My first Omega and first speedy

Thanks guys. She's a very charming watch and the browning on the dial gives it a great feel.

Very nice! I have not seen an example of a straight lug Speedmaster in this condition in a long time.
