I'm relatively new here and thought I'd say hello and introduce myself and my watches. My forum handle is moonlanding because I was born on the exact day man landed on the moon.

I bought my first Omega Speedmaster 15 years ago - the 35th anniversary edition. I had to have it as it had my birthday in red right on the front!

I bought a second 35th anniversary for my father as a present. He kept it for about five years but complained about legibility as he got older - so he sold it and bought a 40th anniversary edition. When he passed I inherited his 40th.

For my 50th birthday, I decided I wanted the 50th anniversary edition. I put down deposit at OB sight unseen. Like many, I was a little nervous about "two-tone", but I love it and wear it regularly.

Here's a picture of all three - not the best picture compared to some of yours - will try to do better someday!

 

Welcome to the forum firstly, secondly WOW Great triple set you have there.
The birthday on the actual day is pretty amazing in the fact that your into watches as well.
I have a 40th just like you and it really is a killer watch but your 35th is beautiful.
Welcome and enjoy.

Regards

 

Welcome, and you have a great history that beats just about all other Moonwatch fans

 

Just beautiful!! But you need the 45th there as well!!

 

Great collection and cool birthday

 

Welcome... simply a beautiful trio. Glad to hear you enjoy wearing your new 50 th.
Cool watch for an equally cool birthday.

 

Outstanding collection
The 40th is my clear favourite of all

Welcome to the forum.

 

Great collection! Thanks for sharing.

 

I’ve heard this same story before from an ex-colleague. Would your initials happen to be CH? If you are whom I think you are, great to meet you here.

 

Great collection. I'll add another vote for the 40th - classic Speedmaster look with a good looking subregister medallion. The caseback is a winner too!

 

Welcome, what a great introductory post!

Great collection!

 

Great collection, happy birthday! Which one is your favorite?

 

Welcome and very nice line up

 

Awesome collection!! Welcome!

 

Welcome and congratulations!

Lovely trio there!

 

My 20th anniversary Speedmaster (one of 4,000) sends greetings. And welcome.

 

Yes. Small World! Feels strange that you know who I am but I don’t know who you are yet!

 

I think my favorite is still my first - the 35th.

 

now THIS is a tutorial on how to get off to a good start on OF!
welcome!

 

welcome to OF and great watches you have there!
