One of TRF’s best members....
Well as many of us know here we have a HUGE variety of personalities here on TRF. At one point, I wanted to put Superdog (aka Seth) in a ranger choke hold. FF a few years, he’s become one of my favorite people that I’ve never met F2F (will be fixing that soon). So- for years I tried to acquire a Omega Speedy Gemini IV, but I was late to the party. About 6 months ago, I found out they were doing a blue dial Speedy. YES! Actually no bc it’s a Japanese only edition. Enter my boy- he went out of his way to help me acquire this baby. Thanks doesn’t quite say it! Only a couple of my watches have a story, that’s what makes them easy to flip. This one has a great story of friendship and unselfishness.....

Congratulations. The blue dial looks very clean. Gives the watch a much more dressy feel.
It’s great to see forum members coming together. This is why we are here! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Beautiful Rick. Funny enough, I've just started looking for one of those this past week. Love the blue with contrasting dials. Congrats.

Stunning piece! The friendships that are born of TRF are, without a doubt, the best part of the forum and love of watches in general.
