Recently put my speedy pro on a strap, and while it dressed the watch up nicely, it unfortunately doesn't get as much wrist time!
So, I thought I'd placate him for now and give him a bit of time in the spotlight...

Cut the crap!

Classics

Really do love wearing this baby, don't think I'll ever stop being able to stare at it!

Great watch and great shots!
I have a vintage Speedy from late 70's and I put a strap on it from watchprince, and I love it. It never lacked wrist time, but for some reason I like the look on strap.

And a shot with the original bracelet.

Two of my three Speedys are on straps, one leather (the '66 - not pictured) and one kevlar ('98). I really dislike newer Omega steel bracelets, but I keep the vintage steel bracelet on my '65.

Nice shots guys!! Love the speedy, a real classic.

Otis · 29 May 2006, 09:44 AM

Fantastic shots guys!

I love that croc strap with the contrasting stitching, Chip

Yep, it's a great watch alright, never seems to date, just gets better with age!

Thanks Chip & everyone!

It'll be one I keep for a while, as it I don't think I'll ever be able to stop looking at it.

btw, Subfiend, I'm liking the broad-arrow style hands on the centre speedmaster in your pic. They look great on a black dial.

Subfiend · 30 May 2006, 11:41 PM

Otis,
I loved that watch, but I sold it to finance the purchase of a vintage 1966 Speedy. The Broad Arrow hands are great, but the silver bezel is hard to read. Nevertheless, I see a Broad Arrow automatic in my future.
