I'm home sick today, unfortunately, but the upside is a new arrival today!

I'm feeling quite giddy about this one...pics simply don't quite do it justice, but I look forward to trying. Fit/finish/design is EXTREMELY well done, down to the smallest details. I am certainly lovin' this one!!!

(would never have expected this to be my very first Speedmaster model, but I'll suffer through )

Omega Speedmaster Mark II

Damn Chris

but this colorful beauty should cheer you up quickly

Thanks Phil!

This was definitely not my next planned purchase, (I really thought my next would be something from Tudor), but this like new Mark II popped up at a price I could not refuse...and well...

It's a really incredible piece IMO...many of the details simply have to be seen in person to fully appreciate.

BTW: speedy recovery

Thanks again Phil...yes, this one would look great on mesh!

I do really like this OEM bracelet though, lug-width is 20mm, but that first link outside the case lug flairs to 22mm and then tapers nicely to 18mm at the clasp...super comfortable on the wrist!!! And it has a nice built in micro-adjust feature at the clasp that allows very small incremental adjustments of like 1-1.5mm up to a total range of close to 10mm or so.

Thanks also on the well wishes for a speedy recovery...lots of rest and fluids today!

Normally I'd take the pic myself, but resting extra today...here's a great pic showing the clasp adjustability from ablogtowatch.

A really great bracelet and clasp design if you ask me Phil!
