Thanks for all your super nice comments! That's so nice of you! I am extremely happy with the watch!❤️

One little comment though, on the design of the clasp and bracelet: With the clasp being so small (not the triple-fold-whatever it's called that I have on my old Seamaster) I can BARELY get the watch over my hand!
My wrist is narrow, I had the bracelet cut to 6 inch (Which is perfect. I can still get a finger in between the watch and my wrist, so larger would not have been good)
Since this is a watch designed toward women, or at least persons with smaller hands and wrists, I think Omega would have needed to do better on the design of the clasp.

Gorgeous piece.

The hold back you read about the watch is the oval date window is not exactly masculine.

But as you don’t have that problem 😉 it’s perfect. My GF likes that piece also.

It has arrived!
40 hours after I placed the order. Excellent service from Chronotek Uhrenhandels in Vienna.
I am happy!

That is a beauty! I love the blue.
I think that one would look great with gray leather.

Custom blue leather band?
No its the metal bracelet. Now after owning the watch for 5 days, all of a sudden it opens up in a triple fold clasp! It was just so hard the first days that I only opened the outer fold....
I feel stupid but am happy with being able to get the watch on and off easier.

Dear Omega friends,
I think I'm losing it.
If you saw my post from 2 days ago, you know I'm closing in on buying my second Omega.
I have narrowed it down to a Speedmaster 38.
I have read that many of you guys don't like the oval shape of the seconds, minutes and hour-windows, but I'm a small woman and since I want a Speedmaster - and a new one, I don't have many options. My old Seamaster has a black dial, so I don´t want that. (before you say that the black comes with round instead of oval...) And anyway - I think the 38 mm is beautiful!!😀 All the versions.

So, I thought I had decided on the white dial, grey bezel, sedna hands and have contacted a few dealers about that. https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/...-38-co-axial-chronograph-38-mm-32430385002001
But they don't have it in stock! I want a new Omega now! Or at least before thursday next week, when I have a big function to go to.
I also love the light blue version.

Actually I had decided on the blue first, before I saw the white/grey/sedna, and the blue is in stock with a couple of dealers and I have mailed them.
So am I basically deciding which one to buy based on getting it quickly? How sick is that, when buying something in this price range...?
I wonder if any of you out there have experienced the same feelings, I can't really talk to my irl friends about this. They would have me committed.

Hello,
I'm considering getting the 38mm speedmaster in white. While buying did you consider that the one with white dial has gold markers and hands for the same price as this blue one? Just asking...

Nice watch.

You do know that your going to be buying watch straps in a few weeks.
That would look good on a nice light tan strap 😉

That is beautiful. I've never seen that particular model or color before (I'm new to all this) . Great choice and congratulations!
