Finally got myself a speedmaster, I'm over the moon with it as you could say. It came on it original 1039 bracelet wich is not only to big for me but I also find it a bit to blingy. Good thing though is that's in excellent condition by this I mean hardly any wear stretch. The case is unpolished and sharp, the glass original and just needed a little polish. It's running excellent and since I got it a little over a week a go my other watches rest in the watch box!
That's a reflection of me[emoji12] blocking the light and holding the camera/phone to make the picture.
Thanks for all the nice comments about the Speedy, like I mentioned I polished the original glass and it's like new! What a four step emery board and polywatch can do The only thing what's bugging me is that the black tension ring is damaged, during cleaning of the case in an ultra sonic bath the black paint started coming off. Only a few flakes luckily, between 25 and 35 min near the T swiss made T area. My only option here is to change the glass for a new one. Or maybe just maybe do a little DIY and get some black enamel paint and tip it so you don't see. Just seems a bit overkill to put in a new glass just for the tension ring. I also had it checked no flakes are on the dial or in the movement, wich is running within COSC specs by the way.
Welcome to the club. If it were mine I would have a new crystal installed otherwise it would drive me crazy(er) This is my 71
Now you're just showing off! You've got the complete package! All kidding aside lovely set you got there I'm a bit jealous of that. I can't complain though since I've got mine for a great price! Do you wear yours? If I read correctly you've seem to have a thing for Speedmasters. I will eventually get a new crystal I know deep down, of course. But for now since I'm on the path of this being my daily wearer) even though I have plenty modern Omega's. I'll first what till this gets scratched again
Very cool, enjoy it! If you ever want to size down that 1039 bracelet to fit better, I'm looking for a few extra links
I'll keep that in mind thanks, nice sub by the way is it an 16800(0) ? I've got a 1675 and a 16760. Ok I'm drifting off and it's an Omega forum.
Just a quick picture it's a little dark and it's missing my flat Jedi in the picture and the speedy (but I'm wearing that on of course!)
So 6 Omega's in the box, two Rolex, a Lemania with a little movement wich Omega calls 321 and my graduation assignment.
