It's always great to hear about people's grail watches, and there are certainly a coupld of expensive ones I desire. But, everytime I look at this one, I could happily live with it as my only watch for the remainder of the years. It's almost coming up to 1 year since I bought it in downtown Manhattan, and I'm as happy as the day I got it.

Listen here buddy! It's artfully blurred & speckled.... but since I've got right of rebuttal, let me say this....

I have to agree with you there Otis. That Speedy Pro is one helluva watch with a ton of history behind it.

KtownGreg · 16 October 2006, 11:34 PM

I agree the Speedy is an icon. Great watch. Love my nodate sub though.

SLRdude · 17 October 2006, 12:12 AM

I miss mine dearly, but I know that Mike gave it a good home....

mike · 17 October 2006, 01:25 AM

And words cannot express my graditude my friend.

It's one of my most treasured pieces!!

C.J. · 17 October 2006, 02:00 AM

It's a great watch

I think we all have "the one". Mine would be mu Omega SMP chrono I think

It's got the most sentimental value for me

Nice pic, Greg....and a big welcome to TRF.

Cheers - JJ

KtownGreg · 17 October 2006, 10:25 AM

Thanks for the welcome. I've owned the Exp I (twice for a few months) and now into a no date sub with great satisfaction. I've a vintage GMT coming. Perhaps a white Exp II next?

Sweet! Love the vintage GMT!!!

The white EXP II is a great watch also.

I'd have to say a Lange would likely be my holy grail watch, but it aint gonna happen. Be that as it may, I am very partial to my SD.

Welshwatchman · 20 October 2006, 07:21 AM

Aaah, speedy pro!

My displayback was the ONLY watch I ever turned a profit on.

redsrover · 20 October 2006, 11:47 AM

Very nice indeed. Looking at the picture of the Omega engraved on the domed crystal makes me regret even more selling my speedy pro back in 1997. That was a cool watch, and I'd love to have another.

Is that a floating OMEGA sign on the crystal?

I know that some OMEGA models have their horseshoe logo etched onto the very centre of the crystal.
