Does anybody own the Speedmaster 38?
Just wondering if anyone has bought this one yet. I’d like to see some pictures of it and ask your opinion on it.
There aren’t many pictures online and the few reviews I found on YouTube aren’t really the best quality and don’t show the watch enough, AND don’t answer any of the questions that I have |

Can't help you with that bruv, but I suggest you do a search on Omegaforums and Watchuseek, there's usually plenty of reviews and discussions on Speedmasters there.

So you might not get too much wordage on here for anything other then the manual wind speedys. I will give you a bit of what I have seen here. The Omega enthusiast's dont really buy automatic speedys. They are the diehard, manual wind, moon watch fanboys. I own a Speedy Racing 40mm, that I absolutely love. However, it gets no love on here. I dont see many different speedy's on the wrists of the diehard enthusiasts. They wont own one, they dont really comment on them. Its a different community then other watch brands. Most fan's are fans of more then one model, not so much for Omegas. Its pretty much, "THE" speedy or crickets in the air.
I really like the speedy 38, I actually really like baby blue dial. It honestly probably a future purchase. It brings me back to, 2002-2003. A friends older brother was traveling over sea's and bought a Victorinox or Swiss army blue dial watch. It was so cool, I always admired it. And the baby blue speedy reminds me of it. Brings back old memories lol How does the 38mm wear? Im not sure if I want to get down to a 38mm non-dress watch. How do you compare it to a 40mm? |

Thanks for the reply. Yes I think I’ve noticed that most speedy fans go for either the hesalite speedy or the sapphire sandwich, or the FOIS Other than that, it looks like the other speedys don’t get much attention I tried it on at an AD in New Mexico, but wasn’t really thinking of adding anything new. I’m still not sure if I want to add anything, but that one is on my short list It wore smaller than the forty, and seemed a little more top heavy (because it’s smaller I guess). However; the bracelet reminded me of the presidential bracelet from Rolex somehow... It seemed a lot for flexible than the one that the speedy pro comes on. I liked it because of the smaller size, comfy bracelet, date, and I think it is COSC certified. |

My question is if this watch allows hacking or not. I know to some it’s not a big deal, but I like watches that hack! |

Wow, I just tried this on and am still sitting in my car thinking about going back and getting it. The bracelet is pretty awesome and has a vintage vibe to it. Going to think about it for a day or so...it has two drawbacks imo... 1. The box has a red bow and looks super feminine 2. I like dial matching date wheels Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I emailed the assistant manager I spoke to earlier, he said it does indeed hack. Don’t know if he’s blowing smoke to get me to buy or not, but it does appear to. I hope I’ve enabled you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
