路路Home For Wayward WatchesHmmm ... mine's very accurate, it's good lookin', its appearance is timeless, it's a great size, the chronograph function adds interest and usefulness, and it's not automatic or quartz. What's not to like?
The pushers slightly restrict my large fingers when I wind it, yet I love winding the Speedmaster because of this. It is no real hindrance to ably winding up the watch. It's just a perversely gratifying characteristic feature of a watch I always enjoy wearing.
Winding the Speedmaster. This isn't hard.

路You're doing it wrong. Use the side of your thumb and index, not the tips of your fingers.

路Dont get me wrong. Not bashing it. Been wanting this legendary watch forever. Runs within cosc even though it's not a chronometer.
Great watch!! Now I need to get me a bond watch.

路?....is the small hard to wind crown. It's too small for my fingers .... It's a pain to wind...that's all.
An anomaly IMO...any sign of grease or moisture on your finger and 馃が

路I bought mine when I worked for an Omega dealer. I mostly wore a Rolex watches at work, and he told me he would appreciate if I would wear an Omega at work. He said he鈥檇 give me a very good deal on the one of my choice. This was 30 years ago. I was not an Omega fan back then. I gave some thought to the choice of an Omega, and settled on the Speedmaster that I have. I bought it, not because I wanted it, but because it was the closest thing to my Rolex Daytona that Omega offered. I also have a Speedmaster reduced which I bought because I WANTED it. That one I prefer. With approximately 60 wrist watches (not considering pocket watches) in my collection, the Speedmaster waits its turn.

路I like it pretty much as it is.....however, given my druthers, I would like it to hack, would like the bracelet to either (1) have half and/or quarter links and more micro-adjustments or (2) have a clasp that adjusts like the newest Seamaster. Those are minor issues, the Speedmaster is iconic, classic, historic, unique and my favorite. If I could have only one watch, it would be my Hesalite Speedy.
