    Although it might be a close call between this LCD Speedmaster and the later Speedmaster X-33, I feel the LCD still wins the ‘Most Geeky Speedmaster’ title due to its high late 1970s/early 1980s design. We covered the LCD a couple of times before (read this early Speedy Tuesday story for example), and especially our […]

    Thank you very much for sharing @Robert-Jan ::love::

    As most of you know, I've started this research here by documenting all the different calibre 1620 models and variations available that were produced in the late seventies. At this stage, as a MVP (minimum viable product) I decided to focus and publish my research about the differences between the Moonwatch-cased Speedy and the prototypes but I believe www.omegalcdspeedmaster.com will be enhanced with infos about the other models we discussed here.

    Let's keep is alive and add value over time - for now, I am delighted to see it finally live and I need a small break :D

    Thanks so much for the kind words @eugeneandresson and @oddboy ::shy:: :thumbsup:

    Why do I feel like the 70s have a lot of explaining to do?

    Thank you ! No, I used the same platform as @t_solo_t used for his websites about the Holy Grail, Seamaster 1000, Ploprof and Megaquartz... I wrote all the content on my own platform but finally decided to use his in order to keep the same look and feel for the community who browses our work. Maybe in the future there will be even more of those dedicated and focused micro-sites writing down what will become common knowledge :)
