Let’s see pictures of your well loved Speedmasters. Have a crusty Speedmaster beater? Post up some pics.

I didn't snap a photo, but I did happen to see one in the wild at my local coffee joint just this afternoon. It was a Speedmaster Pro being worn by another customer in the shop. He was wearing it on the inside of his wrist, and it certainly had been around the block a time or two. I chatted him up a bit, and he said it was the only watch he had ever owned, and he was looking forward to passing it to his young son some day

Bump

Interested in some pics as well

Come on now. Let’s see those “patina” beaters.

Google "mechanic wearing a speedmaster". That should bring you to a post of a well used speedy and the story behind it. It's on another Omega forum.

Thanks! I’ll look it up.

My 145.022 was great the first 5 years I owned it. I took it with me to the gym, on sprints and runs, the shooting range, etc. with no issues - until it suddenly became a fragile problem magnet. Crystal dislodged once, humidity under the crystal another time, wobbly pushers, etc. Only ever worked on by Omega-certified watchmakers.

Finding a great watchmaker that works on chronographs has proven difficult, so I tend to break out the Speedy only on special occasions or an office day, and have switched to a Seamaster 300M for daily wear. (Now that watch can keep up with me!)

But it seems I am in the minority... Check out this incredible story! https://omegaforums.net/threads/how-...3/#post-788887
