Howdy, I just got my customized speedie, and I love it.

A definite frankenwatch of all original Omega parts. The Mitsukoshi dial and handset. A 35th anniversary case and the 1861 movement.

A couple pics and excuse my hairy arms.

If the silver hands don't give you enough contrast against the white dial, you can track down some genuine Omega black hands...

Nice watch!!
