Incoming non-Rolex (hope it’s ok to post here)

Brand new Speedy Pro Sapphire Sandwich! First ever Omega. The new bracelet really sold this one for me - been longing for a Speedy for a while and when the new release dropped I knew it was the one.

Ps you are wrong

Congrats OP. Omega nailed it with this reference. Refinements are spot on. Stepped dial, DON, stepped case back and that bracelet taper! Love this movement, have it in the A11. Stunning.

Love it! I especially like the new bracelet.
I like the Speedy way more than the Daytona.

lol.

Daytona, worn by the founder of the most popular mass market salad dressing brand. Perfectly time your salad mixing to delicious perfection.

Speedmaster, worn on the moon. Time re-entry burn back to Earth.

One is a legendary chrono, one is jewelry. Don’t get me wrong - I love the Daytona, but let’s be real here. It’s not 10x the Speedmaster.

Very nice, congratulations!

I've owned a Daytona and a speedmaster sapphire sandwich, but only one still resides in my collection.

The speedy.

Congratulations. Great watch. There is room in any collection for both a Speedmaster and a Daytona should an owner desire. I have owned multiples of both and my personal preference is the Speedmaster factoring my criteria into the decision.

Congrats on that lovely Speesmaster! Those two watches make the ultimate duo, Chronograph is my favourite complication. Enjoy in good health.

Wonder if the vintage cookies are worth more than the modern ones? Of course, it would have to be a vintage box with the rare sans serif font. Otherwise they are a trash investment.

Great watch. I had the opportunity to try one on while picking up my BB58. I was more than tempted to have both come home with me. I figured I would check in with the wifey first—good decision :). In any respect, I thick omega nailed it in their dial. The texture, font and stepped dial made my eyes smile. Omega really does a great job keeping their historic speedy in the game. Wear well my friend.

Love the depth on the dial and the way the bracelet end links don't jut out like the previous iteration -- looks fantastic. Congrats, and wear in good health
