Thank you. It’s amazing to see how the sun this day lightened up the bezel so much. It takes on a whole new life under various lighting.

Speedmasters are just great looking watches. They seem so well balanced when you wear them.

I’ve been appreciating the crap out of mine lately.
Normally I swap back and forth with a GMT Master II BLRO 16710 but it’s been at the Dallas RSC for about 5 weeks. Absolutely loving the 44mm Co-Axial Speedy this whole time.

I really don't like the stock bracelet that comes with modern Speedy, so upgraded (or downgraded, who knows) to this OEM bracelet last night at the Boutique in Geneva, really dig the look and find it actually very comfortable on the wrist.

Thank you for the compliment. I bought it off Etsy in blue and brown from a shop called Hannsonleathershop. It was custom made.

Two straps for less than $50 shipped. I would recommend reaching out to them.
They are made in Vietnam and shipped to the US.

I think it took about 1.5 months till I got mine. The first set came a lot thicker (lug width was fine...thicker out from the wrist) and I couldn't get springbars into them. They replaced them for free and sent me thinner ones with spring bars installed.

Below is a picture of the blue on a Daytona I'm wearing right now.

Note the saturation of color was slightly increased on the Omega photo.

I think I waved at "appreciation" on my way to addiction.




Or perhaps on my way to insanity.

Finally got mine this week, added an original 1171/633 bracelet from another source and have gone for the extract of archives, looks to be a birth date watch of 1974...

Absolutely loving the Speedy and this may get addictive!!
