    Dear Omega Forum Members,

    I just want to thank you all for your time helping me find my first Moonwatch. I can't thank you all enough for the grand insight you all gave me. I went with the 3570.50. It fit all my needs on my checklist. As promised. Here are the first photos! I've already ordered 4 nato straps, along with grabbing some Polywatch. Next post will be before/after shots(maybe a video) of polishing the hesalite crystal. I'm over the moon!

    Well done - a classic choice. But be careful....


    Speedmasters are highly addictive. ::stirthepot::

    Congratulations Red, great choice. That Speedy looks to be in excellent condition, wear it in good health. Speedmaster's are like pringles, you can't just have one.

    I have a black alligator strap that got thrown in as a extra. However, it's never enough is it? Now I'm going to have to research brown leather straps. ::facepalm1::

    Be sure to cut this out and keep it in your wallet. You never know when you will be asked to produce it.:thumbsup:

    A chestnut brown leather Nato is a particular favourite of mine. It's currently on a golden brown Hirsch Professional though.

    Congratulations, and as a new member to the club as well, what a great choice. Have you been able to make out the omega symbol etched on the underside of the hesalite crystal, in the centre of the dial yet?

    @DLT222, you are just flat out of control. We should have a thread... "Who was the most out of control in 2014?". You would be in the hunt for sure (but it might be hard to top @Superdoc).
