It’s not a Rolex but as a 3x Rolex owner, want to share this one as it’s always been talked about as a top chrono option.

Today my dad during thanksgiving brought this out and asked I open my Christmas gift early. When I saw the omega logo on the box I knew he was gifting me down his Speedy.

This is the original moonwatch (plastic not crystal sapphire) and looks so perfect in the flesh and I love this bracelet!

Next step is to get a TOOL to switch to some leather bands. Any speedy owners got recs? Thanks for reading and happy thanksgiving

Congrats!

Love the Omega branded leather bands (specially Barenia leather), but Speedies are strap monsters so any 20mm band will look great!!!

Congratulations. I like your new to you watch. I buy from Bulang & Sons for leather straps. They are an English based company but the shipping is faster than most in the U.S. I also like the Forstner bracelet options as they are of high quality and have a lot of adjustment in the clasp for a perfect fit.
