First time buying a watch over $100... and probably first time wearing a watch in 10+ years. I have smaller wrists and always thought watches don’t look good on me. After 3 weeks of quarantine and browsing watches, went from looking at aqua terras to explorers before pulling the trigger on a speed master reduced. Loving this watch so far and rethinking about possibilities at 36mm. This could be the beginning of a very expensive hobby.
Nice first Omega... as for most of us a Speedmaster... However, the hobby of ( aviation/spaceflight ) chronograph toolwatches doens't need to be expensive... US $ 500.00 can still buy one about 3 great Russian spaceflight related wristwatches... 3133 Poljot to mention one... of course those were never hyped nor marketed as the Speedmaster has been... https://omegaforums.net/threads/soviet-watches.111883/#navigation & https://omegaforums.net/threads/hidden-gems-from-the-russian-space-photo-archives.65152/
Good looking watches. I’ve only recently started wearing wristwatches after not doing so for almost forty years!
Congrats! My first Omega was an old 70s Geneve automatic. I liked it but after scratching the crystal I sold it and moved to a sapphire early bond.
Great choice of words. First and beginning. So there will be a next ... Maybe a seamaster? My AT says hi -
Very nice, congrats! There are some nice, older Seamasters "midsize" that you may like as well. -mjb, enabler
