I like it a bunch G!!!

JJ Irani · 8 January 2006, 03:37 PM

Excellent match-up, G!!

Subfiend · 8 January 2006, 03:46 PM

Outstanding.

I have taken the metal bracelets off all of my Speedies. I think the watch looks much, much better on a leather band, especially the black leather band with bold white stitching.

mailman · 8 January 2006, 08:59 PM

Looks great guys. Man I like that watch.

padi56 · 8 January 2006, 10:41 PM

Great pictures always a fan of the Omega speedy.

BruceS · 9 January 2006, 12:00 AM

Very nice! Both of my Speedys saw very little bracelet time. That watch rocks on a wide variety of straps

Rockrolex · 9 January 2006, 04:17 AM

G, Dave, both great choices. Those black straps really do work on the Speedys. Although there's nothing wrong with the bracelet on the right hand Speedy, Dave.

That's my 1965 Pre-Pro, Pre-Moon "Ed White" model Speedy. It came with the original bracelet, which is really rare, so I kept it on. However, I prefer a leather bracelet on my Speedy, so my 1966 Speedy gets more wrist time.

I am now down to three Speedmasters. I just sold the Broad Arrow Speedy '57 Replica in the middle of the photo above.

dman · 9 January 2006, 12:30 PM

Looks great Dave!!

Speaking of Moon Watches on a strap.....

Launch Mini · 10 January 2006, 05:28 AM

Hmmmmm
Aren't those shadows from the wrong direction???

Just a theory.

Just a theory.

And why are there no stars in the sky? And why in such a heavily contrasted lighting environment are objects close to the camera but facing away from the light source still well lit?

Just a theory... but it looks like a sound stage from a certain Kubrick film.

Hi David,

Here is a very rare CK 2998 the "Wally Schirra" model that I owned. Wally was the first man in space hence the 2998 was the first Speedmaster in space.
It had the original hands and was a beauty.

Subfiend · 10 January 2006, 01:27 PM

Sweeeeeeeeeeet!

Rockrolex · 10 January 2006, 01:31 PM

That's a beauty of a vintage Speedy, Eric.

ralphieralph · 10 January 2006, 02:30 PM

awsome speedy's
