Tried on a Speedmaster Pro tonight....
And I'm hooked. I loved it. Felt very solid and very high quality, and I hate to say it, but it felt much better than my Submariner. The movement was gorgeous. Without even asking I was offered a 25% on it and nearly every other watch there. I however can not find the exact reference # she wrote on the card on the internet. The reference # she gave me is 31130404230130. Had a matte black dial that was almost slightly brown with white hands. Tried on a cream dialed one with black subdials also and it didnt do anything for me. The offer was 25% off if paying with cash and 23% off if paying with credit or debit. Since I dont have that much cash laying around, I had her do an estimate for me using a credit card. They were selling it for $5500, after 23% off it came to $4235, add taxes and the grand total was $4785.55 cdn. Think its a good deal? They had an Alaska project for $5900, but I dont believe there was a discount due to it being a limited edition.
I'm very tempted... Looks like this one, but there may be some subtle diffrences I'm missing...

i'd say 30% of an omega is standard - and in this economy even more - hammer time!

I was kinda off on manual winds to begin with, but I find myself winding my Rolex every couple days anyways just because. Now I find it actually quite appealing, and besides, manual movements are beautiful to look at.

You could do much better with my AD but he is in the US and your government collects its share when it comes across the border.
You can scroll through the Speedy Pros here: Omega Speedmaster Professionals You might check out this recent thread as well: Sppedmaster moon watch Fr. John† |

I browsed through the Speedmasters on the Omega site and couldnt find any that matched the reference # the AD gave me.
And browsing a bit around the net, It seems the AD price is indeed a bit high. I really like my AD cause they are the nicest people I've ever dealt with purchasing anything, but saving hundreds to thousands off a purchase that you dont really NEED is a bit more important in this day and age. It still might be cheaper buying in the US...
