It's been a while since I've worn my waffled Tudor! Is that a sign that I should start thinking about letting it go?
Got it back yesterday from Spa I think the last time on my wrist at Speedy-Tuesday before i have to say goodbye. It was a good time Mr. White
Blue skies on Speedy Tuesday This was my first really nice watch, which I bought to mark my deployment to Afghanistan in 2013. Mulled over a number of varieties of Speedmasters, including the "ordinary" Pro and some vintage models, but in the end this one won out. Today I'm glad I didn't go with the Pro, as it's a version I think I'd rather own in an older reference.
I have so often wanted to pull the trigger on one of these... But I'm still unsure what I feel about them!
I'm with you. I went looking for one in the sub £1,000 bracket - then chucked in an Omega service, and a new strap... and saw the price slowly creep up. But having done a lot of due diligence, I didn't feel comfortable owning a series 1 X-33 out of warranty... so the service option (with 24 months WW warranty), feels like good value. It wears really nicely, the kevlar is going to take some bedding in, and I know this is the series 2 strap, but I like it a lot more than the series 1 with the double rib. The prices seem to have settled down now, and some sellers are trying to push the price back towards £2k - but with Skywalkers coming up used for £2,500 that's a big ask.
