Speedy Sunday
Recently put my speedy pro on a strap, and while it dressed the watch up nicely, it unfortunately doesn't get as much wrist time!
So, I thought I'd placate him for now and give him a bit of time in the spotlight... Cut the crap!  Classics  Really do love wearing this baby, don't think I'll ever stop being able to stare at it! |

Great watch and great shots!
I have a vintage Speedy from late 70's and I put a strap on it from watchprince, and I love it. It never lacked wrist time, but for some reason I like the look on strap.   And a shot with the original bracelet.

Two of my three Speedys are on straps, one leather (the '66 - not pictured) and one kevlar ('98). I really dislike newer Omega steel bracelets, but I keep the vintage steel bracelet on my '65.

It'll be one I keep for a while, as it I don't think I'll ever be able to stop looking at it. btw, Subfiend, I'm liking the broad-arrow style hands on the centre speedmaster in your pic. They look great on a black dial. |

Otis,
I loved that watch, but I sold it to finance the purchase of a vintage 1966 Speedy. The Broad Arrow hands are great, but the silver bezel is hard to read. Nevertheless, I see a Broad Arrow automatic in my future.
