    Thanks for the add! Here goes the first post...

    I was wearing my speedy pro while moving and whacked my wrist on the car door. Hours later after leaving Harbor Freight I looked at my watch and realized it looked different. I couldn't quite put my finger on it initially but then it hit me, "S*** WHERE IS THE BEZEL?!".

    Am I crazy for wearing my watch while moving? Maybe.

    Either way, I'm left with a bezel-less Speedmaster Professional. I've been wearing the watch like this for almost 2 weeks and I have to say I don't hate the look. One unforeseen positive for me is the watch is 10x easier to wind, allowing for a much more satisfying grip on the crown without the added girth of the bezel.

    I figured I'd post some some pictures for everyones enjoyment and as a reminder to myself to treat my things a little better. What do you guys think?

    It certainly looks different.
    Fortunately it wasn't a pre-69 watch, it were me I'd probably still be searching, if necessary on my hands and knees dodging traffic on the highway!
    Luckily replacements are readily available, if it was me I'd get one fitted asap, but we're all different

    I''m not sure of the term to use [emoji51] It's not like its buck naked or anything ....
    hmm....bare unguarded maybe[emoji3] It reminds me of @Riviera Paradise 's DeVille Hour Vision blue Co Ax. He was describing it as having a 360 ° see-through case body[​IMG]

    Speedy without a bezel is like a girl without punani. Just say no.

    This can happen but it's easy to get a replacement bezel at Your Omega dealership...

    I actually quite like it, although I'm not brave enough to do it to mine.
