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).

I opted for the hesalite .005. I wanted to stay as true to the original as possible, but with a new(er) watch. My warranty card is from 6/2016. One day on and I couldn't be happier!

Thanks everyone

Hesalite all the way.

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.
