Wow!

Decision was made yesterday and it's here already. Showed up this afternoon. Better than I thought it would be! Been wanting this watch for a number of years, and finally have it. No idea why I did not acquire this years ago.

Here it is....

The crystal takes the Speedmaster to another level. It's superb!

SUBversive · 10 January 2013, 12:27 PM

Fantastic. You will not regret or want to flip that. Truly a stellar time piece. Congrats.

GregoryZ · 10 January 2013, 12:32 PM

What a BEAUTY!!! Wise purchase!!! I have one too that I purchased new back in 1996. It's one of my favorite pieces!

SUBversive · 10 January 2013, 01:21 PM

Keep us posted on your first several days of wear.... Like think you'll keep looking at it for the date?

SohAIS · 10 January 2013, 02:41 PM

Thanks! Today, it is my favorite. I am doubtful that time will take this one off my top 2 favorites.

Will do. I've admired the Speedie Pro for such a long time that I can overlook not having a date function. However, I DO regularly check the date while wearing my Subs.

Very sharp!

vintagewaferthin · 11 January 2013, 08:27 AM

Huge congrats! What a beauty! I received my first Omega tuesday. It's a 1960 cal 600 in stainless steel. I'm already in love with Omega.

Sherwooddavid · 11 January 2013, 08:40 AM

Congrats Ross....what a beauty ! Is it the 3573.50 or 3570.50 ?
It's next on my wishlist and hopefully this spring I'll pull the trigger.
We don't have an Omega AD in my town so I'm checking around and trying to find the best price.

red1108nyc · 11 January 2013, 11:17 AM

Great shots. The plexi is great! Enjoy!!

Best,

Fred

Thank you, Dave

I chose the 3570.50. As tough a decision as welcoming a new watch is

, the 3573 was a close second. I liked the idea of seeing the movement. Perhaps in the future a 9300 Speedmaster will fill that small void. I do feel assured in my decision as looking at the Hesalite, to me, radiates a warm feeling and enhances its looks.

Be sure to scratch that itch in the coming months!

Thanks, Fred

Love the plexi. I find myself turning my wrist to that point where the dial will distort... a very fun piece!

stunning piece!

And · 13 January 2013, 06:04 AM

It will compliment your submariner very well.

Cesium133 · 13 January 2013, 06:57 AM

Iconic models from each brand. Enjoy them both!

shoppy · 13 January 2013, 10:10 AM

Congratulations on the speedy and the two ionic watches from both brands:-)

warrior · 13 January 2013, 10:19 AM

Sub and speedy...as good as it gets! You want to fill out your collection with a little color and diversity? Get the best looking watch that Rolex or Omega offers IMO. Blue Aqua Terra Skyfall.

joe100 · 13 January 2013, 12:23 PM

Very nice Speedy

Thank you, Simon! They do fit well together. I am finding they wear very similar, too. Loving it thus far.

Thanks! I like that model very much. A little leary due to its size, though.
For the next one I am leaning toward a Rolex two tone GMT. Does it ever end?
