INCOMING - First Omega

Knew eventually I would get a classic Speedmaster. Been wearing for the last 3 days, and really enjoying this watch. Super comfortable on the wrist!

The bezel insert is alittle extra bonus.

Thanks everyone!

I have the 1171 bracelet, but prefer on strap. Just put it on cordura.

My first Omega

My first vintage Omega. Around 1963 cal 552. I probably payed a bit too much for it, but i just loved it. I am waiting or a couple of high quality straps to go with it.

I am sorry BrazenC5. I did not mean to hijack your thread. In the heat of the moment i thought everyone could post the "firs Omega" here. This was my first post, and i am new to forums. I love your Speedy and the cordura strap was a nice touch. Certainly one of my grail watches.

Yes!!!! A speedy on cordura, namely OD cordura is the best combo I have found.
Congrats.

Congrats! Fantastic vintage at a great price point! Speedmasters are so under-appreciated.
