·I had 5 Speedmaster Pro until recently - now just 3 (If I don’t count my Grey Side of the Moon).
In May I gave my son a birth year 1998 Speedy 3572.50 “Hesalite Sandwich” for college graduation, which I bought last year and had serviced this March.
Yesterday I sold my 145.022-74 to help pay for a Rolex Deep Blue.
I still have my 2013 Speedy 3570.50 that was just serviced last year - and I bought the current model big-box to go with it. I have a nice Omega Barenia leather strap with deployant clasp to dress it up when I’m in the mood.
I have a 2005 Speedy 3572.50 “Hesalite Sandwich” with the Mitsukoshi panda dial and silver handset mod, serviced in the summer of 2016. I got a Silver Snoopy black strap with deployant buckle to dress it up, as a nice contrast to the white dial.
And lastly I have a Speedy Tuesday LE1 with the reverse panda dial. It’s on the original leather strap but I picked up a current version screw-link bracelet to switch things up if I’m in the mood for a bracelet.

·I started the year with zero (only my graduation gift Seamaster chronograph from 2000) but as of last week 4 Speedies have joined the crew...
Cal 321 (145.012-67)
Cal 861 (145.022-78) - birthwatch
Speedie Reduced (cal 1140)
New 44.5mm Speedmaster Racing (9900 movement)
How all that happened, I'm not sure? Lol. The Seamaster gang also grew too.

·Have a trio I’m happy with.
2998-62 (to me the 2998 is the icon, nice when you want more firepower)
Ed White (great daily wearer)
145022-69 with pulsations bezel (mint and bought for bezel really) almost never wear because of the condition.

It would be nice to see a pic of that wonderful trio but that's up to you. 😀

·Heh no, but that’s why it’s “innocent until proven guilty.”
that’s in the Constitution i think. But it’s a presumption. Not proof. 😀

Thank you for posting such an amazing example of a 2998-62... probably the nicest I've ever seen. The 2998-62 with the tear drop second hand is one of my grails. I say this with the upmost confidence that your other two Speedmasters are mint too. Wonderful collection.

··history nerdIn answer to the OP's question, I own just one, the Hesalite Moonwatch that I bought this past January. I figured that if I own only one, it should be the "original" (or as close as possible) model.
Why? Do I need more? 🙄

·I have a Speedmaster Date, a Mark II, a Mark 4.5 and a FOiS. They are Speedmasters, but completely different watches. So I have 4
What I need in addition is a Pro and a Mark IV. And a little bit later a DSOTM 🙄

·I own one: a FOIS purchased earlier this year.
There certainly is a passion for Speedies on this forum. I’m trying to keep my fledgling collection to 10 watches, and I don’t know why I would need another chrono. But I could see myself getting a moonwatch on bracelet one day, either by swapping out the FOIS or as a second chrono.
@Twocats : what are those bracelets you showed with your speedmasters on page 1 of this thread? They look awesome!

·Right, because you frequently can’t prove you’re innocent. They have to prove you’re not.
While that works against the state, unfortunately that wont work with my wife (who ironically is a lawyer herself).

·I feel lucky to have these two: Reference 3572.50 "hesalite sandwich" modified with a Mitsukoshi dial and handset. Reference 3592.50 "hesalite sandwich" with tritium dial and gilt caliber 863. Would love to add a Speedy Tuesday reverse panda to complete a trio very similar to @larryganz
