馃槻 Are you sure you've got it the right way up? Is that one or multiple Omegas you are wearing?
I know, right? It looks like a second face!

Sorry to disappoint, but the new Racing Speedy also has a glass exhibition case back...it does look slimmer in the photos below than the standard 9300, the crystal optimization might have led to the 50m waterproof depth rating. Not a big issue for me...if I were to purchase one of these I would certainly wear them on a strap.
Well that's slightly disappointing. But it looks waaaay slimmer than what I've got now so I may still try swapping. Naturally I will keep my original. Rolex doesn't let you keep your original parts when an official RSC puts new parts on. Omega on the other hand gives you all your old parts back.

I would imagine that it's the same lug to lug length as the other 44.25mm Speed masters at 50mm, I love the white/grey dial version just wish it had curved ends to the strap.

I know it's retail pricing, but $8,500 USD is a bit out of line for a multi-variant Speedy, IMO. Shame, because I was really hoping this was going to be an alternative to me having to settle for a used GSOTM. Now, price-wise it's a tossup.

The models are really quite nice! But the size and the price are a turn off. I don't mind the date window but would like to see it without one.
