#speedytuesday No. 140 observations v 3570.50

Hey folks,

This is sort of a review, rushed before my wife makes me do more chores!

1. Notice the lume differences. The classic Speedy is brighter for sure. The Omega official pictures suggest it would like brighter.

2. The tachy element is matte and not shiny. Don't recall that being mentioned?

3. Funny things: it winds more easily.

4. The strap looks better in person than in any pic I've seen. I like it a lot.

5. I am so not wanting to open the rest of the stuff...but really want to.

6. The CoA is really nicely written and hyper detailed. A special touch.

It's a great watch; totally gives you a different speedy experience. Too bad the sales folks at NYC 5th Ave make zip on the deal. I owe them!?

Wishes: I wish they had filled the lettering on the caseback. I wish the letters RADIAL lined up better with the case.

J
