Hi All, I'm new to the forum and trying to learn more about speedys. I've been reading around and I see mentions of straight lugs and lyre lugs. I'm not sure what the difference is. Does anyone have pictures they can post or a link they can share explaining the two? Thanks Mark
There is a lot of individual free form variation even in "named" lug types. Generally "lyre" lugs have an expanded lyre like profile viewed from the side and a greater twist in the lug coming out from the case. Straight lugs have little, if any, twist and a straight, non expanded profile from the side. . . Deciding on these definitions is subjective to some degree unless where defined by the manufacturer.
Lots to see here on Omega Forum to read further, as well as this one focused on Speedmasters (created by a member here, @Spacefruit) Speedmaster101.com Create your logo, Happy hunting & Welcome!!
