·It's not your fault, clearly this condition is genetic!
Thanks for getting me hooked, @bristnj… My first luxury watch just came in!

·@groodles - Could not be more proud of you! What a nice way to reward yourself for all your hard work and success thus far! You’re a heck of a lot smarter than your old man, that’s for sure! I love this piece, and so pleased for you that you now have it on your wrist! Big congrats Greg!!!
@Larry S - Yes, the Big Eye is most certainly Greg’s one day! 😉

·Congratulations and great pick!!! I have the same exact watch and whilst it wasn't my first Omega or even Speedmaster, it will always be my favorite for multiple reasons and definitely never to be sold!!
Was it the larger size that won you over vs the more standard 42mm Moonwatch or something else?

What really sold me on this one was is the black and white contrast on the dial without being a traditional panda, or as busy as a daytona. I’m personally a big fan of panda dials, but I have a couple already and wanted something a bit different. When I first saw the piece in person, I found the contrast super clean and the pop of red in the speedmaster text gorgeous. Couldn’t get it out of my head, and now that it’s on my wrist, I can’t stop looking at it. Definitely feel like I made the right choice, so excited to finally own one!

·This is my first post here on the forums, but many of you may know my father - @bristnj. Watching him collect was always cool, but I never thought I’d be spending thousands of dollars on these things like he does haha. Well, here I am. I’ve built a modest collection both through gifts from him and my own purchases over the past few years—now in my mid 20s, I was finally able to save enough for my first luxury piece - a racing speedy! I’ve loved this model for a while now, and I’m super excited to finally own one. Thanks for looking, cheers!

·.... and the pop of red in the speedmaster text gorgeous.
I only say that becuase I've been mulling over getting a grey leather strap with either orange leather on the underside and/or orange stitching.

·Minor detail here but in case you want to get a leather/rubber strap in the future with colors to match.... that Omega writing is actully orange! Lol.

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorHonestly, I love the moon watches, too. Could definitely see myself getting a vintage speedy professional one day.
