Congrats, and great to see you're enjoying it! Speedy was my first Omega purchase as well, going on strong 15+ years without its first service too. (knock on wood).

An equally great choice, the Seamaster is awesome! I would have bought one myself but I already have a Sub.
What dial color did you choose?

I got this same one, the 1861, after reviewing a lot of info online and the thread by a member on here reviewing the 2021 model I don't think I'm missing much so very happy with my decision.
