I've been looking for a nice 3572.50 and received this over the weekend. The bracelet is very comfortable but I would like to add a strap for a little variety. Any strap pictures would be appreciated. I find the dial easier to read than any other Chrongraph I have owned. On a full manual wind, the watch ran 50 hours. Don't have anything to compare to but I thought that was good.

Special thanks to Fr. John for his recommendations and answering my many questions. It's great to have so many resources on TRF.

Your new Speedy Pro is a beauty! Congratulations!

Yep, Fr. John has been helpful to many of us here on the forum with Omega counsel. He is a great guy.

I also like your nice looking Volvo P1800! That is a beauty! Cheers, Bill P.

That's a beauty, Allan!

As we say in the southern US, "You done good!"

You will find that the Speedy Pro looks good on must any strap. I suggest you check out this thread: Straps for the Speedmaster Professional

Good work Allan.

Hesalite crystal and sapphire back.

What a beauty.

Try a carbon fibre strap with an Omega buckle - looks great.

Thanks guys. I enjoy seeing the endless possibilities for the Speedy on strap. Am I correct that 20mm is the size?

Kokyuryoku · 9 September 2010, 12:33 AM

Congrats on getting a great watch

I absolutely love mine

Alan,

Awsome watch. I love the hesalite up front and the saphire display back. I've wanted one these babies for a long time. Nice find. Wear it in good health.

PS I found one NIB on Wednesday and it should be here any moment. I will post pics when it arrives.
