Incoming Speedmaster from DavidSW
Fantastic purchase from the professionals at DavidSW. My first Speedmaster (or Omega) and I can't believe I waited this long. I fully understand the following now! This watch is just beautiful in person and on the wrist.
On a distressed leather nato until I can have the bracelet sized (those screws are really in there tight!). |

Congrats! David is such a great guy. I have made 2 purchases with him and he always respond to my emails promptly (before he ever knew I was going to buy anything).

It's just an amazing and charming piece. I have a Daytona SS which is epically clinical, a vintage speedy and the first omega in space. As much as the Daytona is a technically better piece I think the charm and warmth of a hesalite speedy makes it my preference

The speedy bracelet is great, but I love the look of a speedy on a leather strap. Nice choice! Congrats.

Sometimes if you warm up the screws (hairdryer), they'll back out easier. Just be sure you have a good quality screw driver of the right size.
