I have really enjoyed reading the OF for some time and appreciate the wealth of knowledge many members provide to the OF community. One random point of note is the fact that I didn't even know about Speedmasters (or the nickname Speedy) when I made my profile name, it now seems kind of odd, but I guess I am stuck with it, ha. I just bought my first Omega, I went with the red and white racing, or Tintin.
I am very happy with the design, like everyone says it looks even better in person. I had a great buying experience from
@Kringkily as well.
The red/white checker pattern give the moonwatch a very vintage feel; I also like the differentiation from the original.
The only issue I have is with the bracelet, I seem to be in between sizes and with very little micro adjust I am either too loose or too tight, I opted to deal with too tight at the moment, but I am considering strap options. I like the Snoopy strap and the x-33 black Kevlar strap. I also understand a Seamaster half link might work to add a bit of length.
Anyway, I am very happy with the purchase and just wanted to share. All posts need pictures, here is my new Tintin!
