Is that the new one shown at Baselworld? If so, I personally don't care for the look, however I had one with the blue dial and black sub-dials previously. Overall the watch was really nice, just like all the other Speedmaster varieties.
The problem I had is that blue dial always looks more black than blue unless it's in the right lighting, so the sub-dials were hard to see. I also didn't like the sub-dial hands; they too typically looked black instead of silver and were hard to see.
The only version I would buy of the racing line up is the black dial with silver sub-dials. It looks sharp. The rest I would avoid.

Nevermind, I remember this one..

It's okay. Not something I would go for, but I'm sure some will. Does have a vintage look about it, which is pretty popular.

I believe this is the one you are referring to. Check out this thread and the original post:

However, I have yet to see one FS in the Omega Boutique near me.

I checked it out at an AD. Looks fun at first but I think I would find it rather distracting in the longer run.

They seem to enjoy destroying their classic watch.
