Nice watch.

govberg/watchbox. I've bought several used from them and have complete trust. the used watches are always serviced before resale, and typically restored to some degree (if needed). they will negotiate on price. really cant recommend enough.

Such a nice watch. May look into finding one of these in 42mm. Used to have a black and I actually miss the little bugger.

I prefer the older stuff - although this is a WatchCo rebuild using new parts

should have lined the bezel up before I took the photo

I've got an Seamaster model 1501/823 that I bought new in the 90's. I wear it occasionally and I really like it when I'm feeling a bit retro.


I just have a cell phone and I can't get a good photo which is probably a good thing since a sharp image would show all the scratches. Here's a photo from that I got from the web of the watch.

General comment: I am amazed by the quality of the photos I see posted on this thread. How do you all do it? Anyone care to share their secrets?

Beautiful watch and pics. I have several watches but only two premier models that really gets me excited, a Rolex Submariner and an Omega Speedmaster, just like yours. I have a Submariner and a Speedy will be next.

Thank you, appreciate it! I'm looking to add a Sub to my collection as well, but currently on a waitlist with couple of AD's.

Thanks to this thread, and wanting something totally different than all my other watches, I picked up a red Speedy on my trip to Venice this week. Kind of fitting with the gondola on the back for this trip. It wears nice and comfortable with the rubber band.

I have the grey-faced one with yellow accents on the rubber strap with the yellow "Speedmaster" type and I have to say, while the movement isn't Omega's finest, I think this racing model looks better than the Speedy Professional (I know, I know, call me crazy!).

Nice watch!
