·Oh, I forgot a pic. Unfortunately my wife is not giving me the watch until our anniversary so I do not have a real pic. So here is a stock image of the exact model from Omega's site

·I want a pro eventually, a vintage one preferably. But that, along with a Breitling Navitimer ref 806, would be a collector piece, that is babied, and would only fly with me in peacetime missions, etc... For our 5th anniversary, I was looking for a tool watch that i could put through anything and take all over the world with me. So basically it doesn't/wont replace nor compete with my Speedy racing... Btw, that panda is cool looking!

·I really like those speedy racing models, but the current iteration of the speedy reduced moon automatics don't really do it for me. The layouts were a bit too cramped, and comparing how they wear vs a speedy pro there was no contest. However, with the speedy racing I think the dials are differentiated enough with the revised layouts and color choices that they are a good alternative.

·I have a Speedmaster Apollo XI May delivery from 1989, and a Speedmaster reduced from the same era. Don’t decide based on my opinion, but I like them both for different reasons.

·Guys. I'm not trying to be a contrarian. I'm sure they're wonderful, but I'm just not interested... and for all sorts of reasons. Hey, somebody has to buy all those lesser and not-worthy watches. Right? As they say in the car biz, there's an ass for every seat.
Stu
same reasons you did. These guys probably buy new and go for latest trends me I love vintage which 39mm is huge compared and enough for the vintage

·Makes me think perhaps the speed master pro is the one to buy as I hang my head in shame for buying 3511.50 reduced for the exact

·Yes, you should feel mortified (kidding), especially because your 3511.50 isn't even a Speedy Reduced - just a lowly Speedmaster Date. 😲 Actually, mine is the 3221.30 Day/Date - 40mm case, 100m water resistance, button release clasp, COSC rating. Those were some of my reasons. I ended up putting it on an all black Speedy Racing rubber strap, because that's the way I like it. You learn pretty quickly that aside from forums, nobody cares what your watch is, what it looks like, or whether you're even wearing a watch. Please yourself.
