Omega Speedmaster Pro Eye Candy
A lot of talk about Speedy pro here, but I just wanted to give my take.
Now I've had a few watches over the years, but this one has a very special sentimental meaning to me. I've had cheaper watches, more expensive watches, more special ones, but the Speedy Pro will always be my favorite and every time I look at the dial it will remind me of the good times (this is the sentimental part). And it's the only watch I have that I don't really care what the value will be in the next years, as long as I have a roof on top of my head and my health, this one stays put. People call it the ultimate classic, and they are right. For more than 50 years the design hasn't changed one bit and it's one of those strap whores that goes well with everything. Well enough about it, here are some shots/wristshots, hope you like them. |

Those are some great pictures! It really shows off how the Pro goes well with ANY strap.
Thanks for sharing! |

Fantastic pics! I also love my speedy pro, it’s a pure joy to wear. It’s probably the most versatile watch on the market, it looks amazing on everything.

Thanks for sharing, and a nice and worthy testament, notwithstanding the (however accurate) term “strap whore”. Cool array of straps and they all look great with the ageless Speedy.

Stunning photos!
Is the Converse strap a one-off, or available to buy? |

Yes, the Converse strap was made as one-off by my Friend (strapmaker) from old pair of destroyed leather Chuck Tailor's Thank you Sir! Quote:

These are your own straps? You’re a talented man. They look really high quality.
