Speedmaster MK40

Hi All,
this is my first post, and I joined this forum, as I am going to be an owner of a Speedmaster MK40 , reference: 35205300

I have seen my childhood friend from Muscat, Oman wearing this watch. His family are the Omega agents, and I loved the look of the watch when he wore it a couple of times. I also really like the triple date function and the lume.

The watch has been serviced in Omega France in December 2015, the replaced parts are being sold with this piece, so I am glad that it was serviced, and hopefully the watch does not require a service some time soon.

I am about to see the watch in 1.5 hours from posting this, and any advise before I may make an impulse buy....but been looking at used watches here in Dubai for the last 2 months, and have been dreaming that watch that my friend wore would turn up...and it has! 😀😀

Its a great watch!

Yes. I am wearing it as I type. It is a clever little watch, I love the colours, and all the date information it gives the user. The lume on the indices is not what it used to be, but the hands have been changed and have a good lume for my use. I asked the seller to set the watch, and he had his procedure of changing the date only at 6pm, and returning then crown, and then unlocking again. I knew he was a watch collector and would have taken care. I have also bought another watch from his contact 2 years ago, both are better watch collectors than I.

I would like to get a leather, or I have seen a carbon fibre look strap on a piece for sale on chrono24. I am a petrol head and love the motorsport theme. Even a rubber strap with a tyre tread pattern, if dimensionally matching to this watch.

Any suggestions?

This looks great on a rallye strap as well as CF straps! Personally though, it reminds me of the flightmaster dial (AM/PM and red chrono hands)

Wore the watch to work today, love the colours of the hands.
