Found an Omega AD that lost it's agreement with Omega and I received a sweet deal on this one. Not your run of the mill speedy but with a tropical/faint chocolate dial that I have liked for a long time. Will and William played a big part in pushing me over the edge on this one so thanks guys for the advice! Here are a few photos, thanks for checking it out!     |

SWEET Trent!   Based on your recent avatar, I would say this one has been in the works for a little while!!!  The chocolate dial is a new one to me (I think this is the first chocolate dial Speedy that I've seen, but then again, I'm a rookie  ).LOVE the sapphire back to view that gorgeous movement! An absolutely killer pickup buddy!!! Enjoy!!! |

Hey Guys thank you so much for the kind words, I really like it! I would love one day to own the Panda dial 35th anniversary model but I am super happy with this one. I am finding my way back to 40-42mm watches and really feel that 42mm is my sweet spot in the winter with coats and long sleeves. I do enjoy a bigger watch in the summer time and 44mm seems to be my summertime size! I will have to try a few straps and Will has helped me with a nice velcro nasa strap but this one really seems built for the bracelet in came on! I also learned so much about the space program researching the history of this model so that was added fun with this purchase. Thanks again!  |

The velcro makes it very light to wear. Since I don't have the bracelet, I wear mine mostly on Kevlar: It's more comfortable than the velcro in fact. I may try a nato later on, found it good looking on olive-drab nato... |

Trent.. congrats on a great acquisition!! The chocolate dialed version of the speedy is quite the looker... I think the caseback in which you can see the movement is pure art!!! How I love OMEGA.... WEAR AND POST OFTEN!!!! |
