Hi Daniel! I currently own a hesalite omega speedmaster as a daily watch and a 116618lb for the evening. I have attached a picture of the current duo and a link to a post describing my journey this year. At the end I sold the blnr, ck2998, and D blue for these two. I also tried a eta tudor pelagos black near the end but couldn't get the bracelet to fit right for lack of a half link.

And a great duo it is!

Great duo! Why did you sell the ck2998?

Great pair of watches, Josh

It was a beauty but 39mm was a bit too small compared to the 42mm speedy pro. I also realized I am not a huge fan of leather...although I see that some people have put it on a vintage metal bracelet or nato. Overall it was a great watch .

And what plans for 2017?

Does omega make half links for the speedy? I have mine but it's either too loose or too tight. Trying to find a solution!

I've put mine on a NATO strap!

Congrats again, Josh! A most excellent pair.

[Yamazaki]

Thats a very nice pair. Any plans for future incomings?

Man if you had to keep only two those are it!!!! Well done. Both are a must in any collection IMHO.

I'm going to try and lay low for a while but a new tudor GMT at baselworld would probably get my money!

Unfortunately no half link with the speedmaster and only 2 pins for adjustment on the bracelet. One of the only downfalls of the speedy is the lack of adjustability on the metal bracelet. Fortunately it works great on any number of straps if you can't get the perfect fit.

Edit: if you have the old style speedmaster bracelet with the pins then the half link from the seamster 1610 bracelet will work. However, if you have the new speedy (2015) with screws in bracelet your out of luck.

Awesome, thanks for the link! I didn't have that much fun in grad school!
