·Does anyone know the lug width of the 38mm Speedy? I'm wondering if the bracelet will work on my '68 Ultraman, which I purchased sans bracelet.

·One should always have in mind resale value when acquisition is above let me say an average salary payment. God only knows what may await you in future.

·I'm floored by the trilogy set... Called up AD to find out local prices... too bad there are no emoticons for crying.

·After all, what omega does is very disrespectful to their customers and ADs!
Omega should ackowledge that for doing a good watch purchase in this price range you have to see the watch live and in the flesh.
Requiring 100% deposit on a watch only kown for dubious web pics prevents their loyal customers from doing so, and may leave them with something they regrett and have to resell with loss.
Having them running to the boutiques and paying the deposit there will leave the ADs with the bread crumbs and 100% of the economic risk of the bullish limitation, whereas omega has achieved the overall maximum of profit possible.
This is a clever stragety from a salesman perspective, but it will do some collateral damage depending on if the risks will materialize or not.
I am not fanboy enough to praise this.

·What do you think about the clasp on the speedy?
Notice the "not for sale" stamping on the inner lug right under the clasp? Now if those watches surface on the marked some day ... I can see the Christies catalogue add in my head ...
"Ultra rare Speedmaster 2915 re edition "NFS" stamped basel world 2017 exhibition Model"

·Doesn't look like it matches the bracelet but I believe it's adjustable. It looks like the clasp on the SM 300 MC and speedy mark 2.
Hello fellow wonderful and nice OF members. I hope your days are going well and what a fine day it is. Rob Topper posted this pic (thanks Rob!) of the inside of the clasp somewhere. From first view, it seems adjustable but maybe not as far as the clasp on the 300MC since it is shorter over all. Still pumped it's adjustable. I'm in love. Please and thank you to all and please continue to enjoy your great days and hey, take some time to stop and smell a flower.

·Yes and no - lug width of Speedmaster Professional (which includes the Ultraman) is 20mm. Lug width of straight-lug Speedies is 19mm.
. . .HOWEVER, this 1mm difference will only result in .5mm gap on either side of the endlink, which could offer us the nice, classic endlink rattle just like the vintage links. 😉

·As much as the Railmaster is (and has always been) my favorite, I almost started leaning towards the Seamaster, but that count-down bezel makes it impractical for timing stuff, other than a scuba dive...pity.
