I now have a collection! 3570.50

Hi omega owners,

Excited to join the Speedmaster prof. club! This watch is just amazing. The matte dial, white hands, and hersalite crystal make this such unique piece. I find joy in winding this bad boy every morning.

Since my first high quality watch purchase in Dec. 13' (114060), I've been obsessed with developing
a good thoughtful collection of watches. After careful consideration, my second piece was a no brainer.

A true classic.

Congratulations.

The Sub and Speedy are icons for Rolex and Omega. They make a great duo. I don't think it gets anymore thoughtful than that.

this is all you really need

slap an alligator strap on the omega and it also works as a dressy piece

I have reevaluated my collection and am now on the path to a tasteful
'minimalist' collection. A truly is 3570.50 is a no brainer for this. I need a diver to round out my collection.

What's next for you? You have sea and air covered... Maybe land in an explorer or exp42 or something casual/dressier in a DJII?

Honestly I'm not sure...yet. Definitely dressier/casual and possibly vintage 😄. Great suggestions!

for sure, a speedy 3570.50 is the grout in any brickwork of a collection....it states a recognition of iconic timepieces....a rolex sub is probably the cement in the grout....and then the bricks....thats where all the pleasure and pain is....

wow, coffee must be kicking in....
