Finally Pulled the Trigger On a Moonwatch

    I've been contemplating the purchase of a 3510.50 for quite some time now. I've never owned an Omega of any sort, and each time I've considered, I've gone a different route and was ultimately unhappy. I've owned a couple of Tags, as well as a Breitling, but something always seemed off about them. Most recently, I was torn between a ceramic GMT Mater II and a Speedmaster 9300 Co Axial. I ended up finding a good deal on a flawless 3510.50 and I'm ecstatic.

    Although I've tried on this watch dozens of times at various ADs and pre-owned re-sellers, I couldn't fall in love with it. Pictures on the internet of the Speedy on various leather straps helped make my decision, and I couldn't be happier. I was afraid that it would look small on my 7.5" wrist, but I actually find it to be perfect.

    I've included pics of my new acquisition. BTW the lume is fantastic.

    You must be mellowing in your old age, not like the old days

    But this isn't another Speedmaster thread - it's a Monwatch thread! I'm not sure if that means this is about a Jamaican Speedy or a Monday Speedy though. I would think a Monday Speedy would be blue.

    Sorry to burst your bubble but thats not a 3510.50
    The 3510.50 is the reduced version which is automatic.
