Happy SpeedyTuesday OF!
I don鈥檛 usually post many threads as much as I would like, but I feel this time it would be a good idea to share a Speedmaster that I just received.
Prior to me discovering the watch, I remember a few old threads reading and seeing a blue Speedmaster that was quite rare. A Soleil dial as they say. Fast forward to around early June, I was scrolling around the watch net as you say, and saw this unclear picture of a metallic greyish Speedmaster. As we all do, it is always worth a shot asking the owner if it was for sale, and the owner declined. A couple of days later, we were still just chatting and he asked me if I wanted to make an offer for his piece. So I did, and then come the clearer pictures. So to speak, I jumped at my chance, and the rest was history.
Logistics was a pain, and had a great help with a few OF members that made this possible. A huge shout-out to
@Georgieboy58 who was instrumental in helping me landing this Grail of mine. Another testimony to how great this community is. Long story short, took a couple of months, but landed safely on my wrist, and even as I am writing this. The watch came and as expected I was stunned by the condition and the dial. One of the hardest dials to capture in pictures and I might add, pictures do no justice to the dial in person.
Without further ado, here are some pictures of the elusive Omega Speedmaster Grey Blue Metallic dial, and the condition is not too bad, I鈥檇 say.
