Nice write up!

Great fanboy opportunity, so let's keep it going here.

My top three:

105.002
A bit of a unicorn and interesting to me because it's a reference that underwent visible changes within the reference, notably the change from alpha hands to the iconic modern baton hands.



145.012-68
a classic twisted lug design in a rare reference.
The Transitional, 145.022-68 (aka The transitional)
Interesting because it looks exactly like it's older brother, but runs with the "new" 861 inside. The beginning of the modern day speedmaster we know today.



And a special call out to the Mark II (glad to see it made the cut in the Fratello article! 😀

The watch designed for space, but never used in space.

My current top three. Also, I am a complete noob and am making this list with my limited knowledge. (all photos courtesy of Fratello watches, as I do not own any of them yet)

First pick. Speedmaster Pro TinTin- classic looks with a nice flair with the red and white checkered stripe around the dial.

My second pick is the Speedy Tuesday Limited Edition. This watch is amazing to me, ever since I got into watches I've wanted a reverse panda chrono and this is the one. Not to mention that this will be my first Omega, and first Speedy, so this is near and dear to me.

My third pick is the 3594.50 replica. The broad arrow hands, the stainless steel bezel is such a great combo to me.

Here's to wishing they join my collection at some point in time.

I'd say the 105.003 and 105.012 for their part in the space program, and then perhaps the 220 because it's the Speedmaster nerd's Speedmaster.

For me top 3 are:

1. 2915 , because it all started with this guy..


2. 105.012 because of its role in first moon walk! (And just because I have it 😉 )


3. 145.022-68 racing dial , just because it is beautiful...
