Well here we are again with another speedmaster.
When I started this watch obsession 20 years ago in 1998, 3 of the first nice watches I acquired in that first year or 2 were the explore 1, explorer 2 white dial, and the Speedmaster Pro.
I should have quit at that point.
They all got sold - some a few times.

20 years later, after dozens of flips that included many Rolex and others, I once again have the same 3 classics I started with. Live and learn (or not)

Although not a Rolex, it fits nicely with the other 2. Best looking strap monster ever designed imho :)

Nice story. It's hard to go wrong with those three watches.

Thanks for sharing :-)

The Speedmaster Pro is nice to wear on a strap. I'm enjoying mine on this old Omega twin-pad alligator strap:

The speedy pro is one of those watches that command respect, and is becoming the favorite in my collection.

I’m relatively new to watches, but I’ve been juggling guitars for years.
