Speedy Moonphase Revisited
So since I had a day to kill I took 150 mile round trip drive to the nearest Omega dealer to actually see this piece on my wrist as others have said it definitely wears smaller than 44.25MM and I got to see the black on a bracelet and the Blue on leather. Both are quite stunning in the flesh I might have went for the blue on a bracelet but I have this tremendous bias towards black watches anyway after trying it on and seeing it in the flesh I pulled the trigger on a black/bracelet should have it by Friday! Traded my SMP I just like the Tudor HBB too much to let it go.

Congratulations! It is an awesome watch and feels great on the wrist. I'm looking forward to seeing more wrist pics upon its arrival!
Here's one of mine on the strap to share: IMG_20170418_183839.jpg |

A lot of people who talk about the new coaxial speedmasters 44mm being too large etc IMO have never worn it and just scoffing at the measurements. Omega is quite good at controlling lug contour and length so these larger dials don't wear large. IMO something Rolex should look careful at moving forward....we'll see starting with the new sea dweller. Congrats on a fine watch, it looks amazing.

Yes I did! At first I felt guilty, like I was cheating on my AD. However, Greg was/is awesome to work with on a purchase. Add to that the savings...I don't feel so guilty anymore! Besides, I have already ordered the white dial Speedmaster Racing from my AD, so he'll endure.
Excellent selection on both watch and seller!! |

My bad a typo
I think what gives the speedy the illusion of looking smaller on the wrist is the thin bezel but then again its probably all in my head lol.

Thanks Kevin! I actually had a very nice collection of HST autographed stuff, sadly, had to sell it due to some financial hardship brought upon by starting a new business... still regret it.
