I only bought this watch because it had a 1171 bracelet (first version), but I really like the look, and the ever so slight hum.

The Istanbul Ed in final form. I wear it at least four or five times a week.

(I’m not going to compute how much I’m into this watch, although, all things considered, I still think I’m ahead of the game. EDIT: Couldn’t help myself - I’m into it about $14.7k, including service.)

I’ve come to like this watch a real lot. But, there’s no way I’d have known enough to buy it or had the ability to get it squared away without Omega Forum.

With all the bullshit and sometimes petty disagreements in some threads, this is still a great community and an indispensable resource, for me anyway.

Thank you all.

I'm on my way to watch First Man and while I don't own a Speedie, I do own an Astronaut.

I can’t believe it’s been that long since I’ve sailed as a cadet on the Training Ship Empire State VI!
