Love it to bits.

The face is a little more 'silvery' than it shows in pics which gives it a lovely distinction from all the other panda style watches out there. Like all speedys it wears small for its size and thus is the perfect size to my eyes for my wrist. It's a great all around watch with lots of interesting detail. Can't imagine anyone not being happy with it.

Getting a couple of Nato straps for it to mess around with.

+1 and you do feel the size difference from the 42mm? Quite keen on the blue, but yet to see it at an AD

The sizing on all the brands is hugely inconsistent.

Most Speedmasters wear small for their official sizing relative to other brands. For my taste the Chronoscope is the perfect size for my wrist in a sports watch.

For comparison here's a pic next to a 41mm Tudor chrono. (sorry I didn't set it for the pic) :)

Tudors tend to wear pretty true to their size. In real life the 43mm Speedy is about the same size as the Tudor, of nor a little smaller.

That’s a great pic. The chrono scope is about 2mm shorter lug to lug which is one reason it wears so well. I tried that model on and loved it. Congrats. The leather strap looks great too - albeit it is pricey to purchase.

It’s that time of year in the Seattle area where it’s gray all day, rains a lot, it’s cold, and it’s dark by 6 PM (soon to be 5 PM). Not to be a downer, but I can’t stand it around here this time of year!

At least I’ve got this little ray of sunshine to look down at.

His is the Omega Speedmaster Ed White, 321 movement. New/modern reference (note the ceramic bezel), and a great watch indeed that comes standard with that bracelet

I will this Tuesday. My spring bars I have are too thick. I had a case of 1.5mm bars, but can't find it. So had to order another. That must be fate, since NTTD starts streaming on Tuesday and I haven't been to see it yet.

But very impressed with quality. If you didn't know, you could easily think it was OEM. I am gonna fit one of the two I got on my Speedy and see how it looks.
