    So it seams I have been acquiring a few more Speedy's to add to the collection.

    1st one....

    Omega Speedmaster 'Eyes on The Stars' more commonly known as the Snoopy. Limited to 5,441 pcs these are gradually becoming more and more expensive. A few pics for you...

    The 2nd is the Omega Speedmaster 50th Anniversary BIG box Limited to 1957 pcs, these come with the full tool kit, loupe, black leather strap with deployment buckle. Luckily this watch has never been worn and is in perfect condition.
    Hand-winding chronograph movement with column wheel mechanism and Co-Axial Escapement for greater precision stability and durability. Free sprung balance, with hour, minute and small seconds hands, central chronograph hand. White rhodium-plated movement with Geneva waves decoration, circular-graining and gold-plated engraving.

    WOW, two great watches I'd love to own

    well done, no wrist shots or are they too rare to wear?
    Personally I would feel nervous about strapping on the 50th Anniversary when it has never been worn before

    That particular limited edition also has the image of a bald man superimposed in the crystal ;)

    You have to look close but you can just about make it out

    As a follically restricted individual myself, I'll take issue with the 'b' word above. Its cut short to minimise the receding look, but there's definitely hair there...

    :)

    Getting back to the main theme (and away from follicles), I am pleased to say that this little beauty will be mine shortly

    I have to say this one sort of fell into my lap & great thanks must go to George for fixing it up. Like all good dealers, he knows his customers' weaknesses :p

    Haven't used the cloth much for it's main purpose, but it has been really useful as a top cloth in my watch box & for protecting the head when I've been changing straps & casebacks. Until now I've been using my wife's household micro-fibres - this is miles better.

    To explain what we're talking about, Darren & I had a quick meet up last week (no jokes about King's Cross please) and he gave me a micro-fibre cloth to try out as a handling/light cleaning cloth.
