Congrats! But concerning starving cats and kids..your fate is sealed already..or theirs. Here is you future 😀
I love hoarders like you because it makes me feel like I don't have that much of a problem 😀
. I've read some comments in the watch community that say, "Oh, it's just a Speedmaster,"
...It's one of those few watches that works with whatever you're wearing that day, whether it's shorts & t-shirt, or a suit. It's just so versatile...
Versatile for sure...it works for church, the office, the skatepark, Dunkin’ Donuts, Hooters, “I-THINK-I’ll-WEAR-MY-SPEEDY-AS-A-BELT-DAY”...the list is ENDLESS! 👍

I'm officially a member of the club! I won't have it until Wednesday, but it's been purchased. I debated getting the sapphire sandwich version from the same seller for a bit more money (I really wanted to be able to see the movement), but the history buff in me decided to go with hesalite. I figure the money I saved going with this version can be spent on a strap or two.
Welcome! And grats to a great watch. About the sapphire back: you could always search for a 3572.50 or 3592.50 with hesalite in front and sapphire on the back =) I'm looking for one myself
I have lusted after one for 20 yrs or so and put it off and put it off due to the price. Thanks to a good business year I could finally fund one outright without starving the children and the cats. Several weeks of reading on OF provided me with all that I needed to know to figure out what I wanted, what I didn't want, where to get it and how much to pay. Another week or so of waiting for the right deal and then a perfect, for me, 2017 Speedy in like new condition with hesalite and full bracelet shows up at my door in the most ridiculous watch box ever. It is way better than I ever expected. My only regret is that I didn't buy one 20 yrs ago.
Thanks to each and every one of you who has taken the time over the years to answer what are certainly 1000's of questions from the obvious to the obscure that reside in this forum. It took me over a month but I found answers to every question I had. Search really is your friend.
Thanks again,
John
I love my Speedy! And while i have 5 Omega’s, the wrist sees the Speedmaster and SM300BT equally through the week!!
Baz, this is a good arrangement, both a Speedmaster and a vintage Seamaster 300.
I'm conflicted. Of late I've been considering a no-date Sub. At present I'm still in the "studying phase" for the acquisition. Then I see a Seamaster like yours and find myself thinking: "Who needs a stinky ol' Rolex anyway?."
