    whoops. here are the photos.
    My first 'big' watch - up until now, usually 33-35m. My first chrono. And I really do like it! IMG00032-20130321-1544.jpg IMG00033-20130321-1545.jpg

    Nice piece, more of a collapse than excitement but I'm watching it too on the news.com.au SKY feed ;)

    Wearing my Cal 320 of course!

    You know you are happy when you go to show everyone your new watch and you forget to post the pics you've just taken :p

    Very nice and congrats

    thanks all. i never thought I would like a chrono, but I always knew i'd get a speedy pro at some point, given its history. I also thought it would be too big, and while it is larger than the rest of my watches, I think it is just OK.

    thanks to George for his great help and service on this purchase

    Nice watch mate. Pity the local news today was a bit of a fizzer!

    I think I need to investigate a better quality strap, and no doubt a 1170 bracelet at some point.....
    Very happy I went with the brown strap.
    yep!

    Never even noticed the strap, you could wear that beauty on a piece of string, would still look great.

    Enjoy :thumbsup:

    I've got an OEM Omega brown strap and deployant and its pretty ordinary. Then Dennis sent me a brown strap he got from someone and its brilliant, one of the best I've ever had.

    Brown is fine for Speedys, but it has to have some character commensurate to the watch.
