It was interesting to see on another thread how many people had a Rolex collection plus an Omega Speedmaster.

Curious to know how many have the Speedy as the only non-Rolex piece in their collection.

Not the only non Rolex in my collection.

Speedies are great. I have a few of them to accompany my Rolex pieces. I call these guys my Omega fantastic four :-)

Those are beautiful! How do speedy’s hold their value?

Thuilln · 22 February 2018, 12:22 PM

I do. The Speedy was my first good watch, and I quickly switched to Rolex.

Ha, I did the opposite of you. First rolex then speedmaster pro.

At various times I had Rolexes and a Speedy in the stable.

Still have an Omega, but a vintage one that’s neither Speedy or Seamaster.

Have a DJ that keeps it company now.

I think no collection is complete withou a Speedmaster. They have a charm of their own.

A must...

HogwldFLTR · 22 February 2018, 12:45 PM

I have two Speedies and both are Mark IIs. One is a '69 and the other a Co-axial. Wearing the co-ax at the moment. I've got a couple of others Omegas as well (Planet Ocean with orange insert and SMPBond). I like the difference of the Mark II from the design of the original moon watch. Every one has the standard and not so many the redesign.

Thoughts on the yellow speedy?

I am pleased to own both the classic Speedy and the Ck2998 LE (which my wife also really likes). Great looking watches with some serious DNA.

Same here.

I love my Speedmaster Pro Hesalite Moonwatch as much as my Explorer 214270. In fact, I wish the Explorer had an acrylic crystal option.

Omega and Rolex do belong together

Teetime71 · 22 February 2018, 01:34 PM

I have a couple to complement a Hulk, 16710 Pepsi, BLNR, - Moonwatch and the LE 60th, very different. I really appreciate their heritage and lineage, not to mention the tactile process of manual winding them up as opposed to the Automatic Rolex wearing experience.

Speedmasters are as timeless as it gets. Love them alongside Rolex.

Seaswirl · 22 February 2018, 01:40 PM

Love my Speedy Pro. Super legible and comfortable.

I feel like Neo being able to read your collection and see each watch only from the numbers.

Amazing collection!

I don't know if i got lucky somehow but i picked one up (used) 3-4 year ago. I got what was a pretty decent price at the time. It appears to have pretty much tripled in value since then.

I don't know about long term prospects but it's a great watch, i'm keeping it ;)

KNY · 22 February 2018, 02:34 PM

The Speedy is a necessary piece in my collection. I generally have a modern hesalite version that comes and goes, and I have an older tritium dialed one that always sticks around.

jcclx1 · 22 February 2018, 02:38 PM

Don't have what you could really call a collection, but it has a Speedy in it! :)

stlwx21 · 22 February 2018, 02:50 PM

Have a speedy in my collection. :)

It gets a fair amount of wrist time.
