The great thing about Speedmasters is that you can customize them pretty easily.

I'm not smitten with the above look, but it's partly because I use the chronograph when jogging and it would make it difficult to see (for me).

But it's definitely a cool look!

Cheers,

Ben

Only as long as the parts are available through other sources like Ofrei. I just ordered a '57 brushed bezel for my custom and the price went up considerably in the week I fiddled around thinking about it.

I think it looks interesting.
What do you think about bead blasting the case, having it DLC'd and having the hands blacked out? Maybe the running seconds hand painted orange or red?
I think the Speedy is a great platform for various custom projects, although the original design is hard to beat.
Looks good, keep on playing with it
