    Tony has to be the best resource for this kind of thing l Don’t believe anybody in the UK has his depth of experience

    Thanks Stuart, yep it was the one I found for you which set me off hunting for one myself! Yours looks great with the decimal crystal by the way

    I’ve had a few which turned out to be dogs and then this one cropped up in Ebay for less than £1K and I leapt! Tony repaired in and all in it still stands me at less than an average one would!

    Very very pleased

    Like the 125, I think the Speedy Mark II looks a lot better when refinished and STS did a great job on mine.

    before & after...

    Yeah I get what you’re saying and tbh. The tele has a nicer aesthetic quality
    STS have once again worked their magic on this piece.
    Fantastic result.

    Ps in the early stages of my omega obsession I bought my “birth year “ 71 speedy off you about 9 years ago.
    We had a phone conversation about Omega’s and we discussed the PloProf’s
    You told me how yours often accompanied you on holiday. And now here I sit, on holiday in Florida, wearing mine.

    Brilliant news, it’s really funny I was thinking about your speedy just the other day as I found some pics of it.

    Mine is my go to holiday watch, it’s one of the corner stones of my collection and such a brilliant thing, like the 125 not the most understated of beasts

    Enjoy Florida
