    Hi All,

    New to the forum :D

    Just picked up my first vintage + Omega :DD. Saw this at a shop on holiday and thought it was a nice piece and price was reasonable.

    It's suppose to be a 1971 speedy with stepped dial. However, I do think the sweeper hand has been replaced :/

    I think it still looks good however. Will it be worth to try find a original sweeper at some stage?

    Wow, great start to your collection, it will be worth it to find a new chrono hand (or as you call it; sweeper). :thumbsup:

    Ouch, be careful not to run the watch until the loose lume is resolved.

    What a way to start your collection! Congrats and like somebody else said, welcome to the Omega world.

    I hope you are successful procuring a second hand.

    Best regards,
