I only have the one Speedy Pro now, a brand new 005 that I just had modded, but it's one that I am really loving since it got back from LAWW, having had an OEM Tin Tin dial and an Apollo 11 40th Anniversary red-tipped chronograph hand installed. I feel the red-tipped chronograph hand really pulls the dial together, and also makes this "mod" its own thing. I hadn't done a mod in many years, and I missed the very fun process, from hunting for parts, to commissioning the work. I have to say, LAWW was top-notch in every way, during every step of the process. 👍

While I just have the one 005 Tin Tin mod now, I have enjoyed and obsessed over many Speedy Pros, over the years. I wish I had photos of them all, but here are a few from the past:

Not so uncommon speedy with a bit uncommon strap 😀. I am sure controversial, but I love it!

Bought my first Omega last Thursday, have wanted a nice watch for over 30 years and finally pulled the trigger
Not sure what caught my interest all those years ago and after many occasions of talking myself out of spending the money a recent employment change and unexpected signing bonus made me decide now was the time.
Really impressed with the history of Omega and the story behind the Moon Watch. Always been a fan of James Bond and watches worn in the movies.
Great watch, no buyers remorse here!

Maybe not the most desirable (a 145.022-74) but it’s in nice shape and very reliable - definitely a keeper 😀

First time I've had all 3 together since buying my latest. Probably should synch their time at some point 😗

Just got it back from service from my local AD ... just the movement and a light buff on the bracelet only.
