Incoming new Omega Speedmaster

**champagne_james** · 9th January 2013, 14:43

Picked up my new Omega Speedmaster yesterday, I went for 3570.50.00 model. I really wanted the steel back version, looked more rugged and I have a clear case back on my Omega AT.

Really cant wait to give it some wrist time!

Excuse the poor pictures, they were taken in my office last night on my Blackberry, and I'm crap at photography!

Well I have got the images to show (finally) but now photobucket or the forum is rotating them???

Congratulations, hope you enjoy wearing it!!

**RossC** · 9th January 2013, 14:52

An all time classic. Be sure to mix it up a little with different strap options. They really are versatile...

**Bender** · 9th January 2013, 18:59

I always keep coming back to the speedy. It's beautiful simple and balanced dial plus it's history is hard to beat by any other watch.

**walkerwek1958** · 9th January 2013, 19:27

It's a classic and it hasn`t changed significantly over the years, which (to me) makes paying a lot for an older/vintage one a bit pointless. I`m a fan of vintage watches but for something like this that's still being produced it makes more sense to buy a recent one.

A classic and well done. It is good that Omega is not trying to change it.

**Chaim** · 9th January 2013, 19:40

well done, looks great. I liked mine best on a black nato but it looks good on just about any strap.

**ads54** · 9th January 2013, 19:42

I do hope to pick one of these up in the not too distant future. Every time I see one the urge to get one is getting stronger!

Congratulations!

**studly** · 9th January 2013, 19:50

Very nice.

**Rob** · 9th January 2013, 20:29

Hoping to get one very shortly....still can't decide whether to get the vanilla or sapphire sandwich.

Did you get yours new from an AD? Can I ask how much you paid?

Hi,

The one I wanted wasn't in stock, the catalogue price he showed me was around £2800 then deducted VAT and then a little off.
Get yourself one :)

I'm not sure which one you wanted, but for me this, or one of the similar models (hand wind / auto etc), are the best looking... I'm very jealous!

Sorry just saw the way I wrote it, I did want the 3570.50.00 and thats the one I got. My AD ordered it in for me, he only had the 'newer' ones with the clear caseback.

**kaiserphoenix** · 9th January 2013, 21:57

Oh man I really want a speedy as well!!! Congrats on a great watch with so much history!

**Normunds** · 9th January 2013, 22:06

Very nice! Now, go and get some straps :)

I beg to differ

**Auragentum** · 9th January 2013, 23:19

Huge congrats!

Just received mine a few days ago - nothing beats a brand spanking new watch.

**Thom4711** · 9th January 2013, 23:22

Congrats- so high on my wish list!

**shoppy** · 9th January 2013, 23:38

Congratulations on a beautiful watch. They are lovely on the bracelet and so diverse with so many strap options:)

**hellominky** · 10th January 2013, 15:07

Yes, very nice and very cool. I think I'll be going doing the three watch collection with a good diver, good dress watch and good speedy. Brand new is lovely, congrats

Nah, nothing like getting a watch with some history, imo.

**George** · 10th January 2013, 17:17

Just sold my speedy :(

**spaceslug** · 10th January 2013, 19:59

Nice example, welcome to the Speedy Owner's Club!

I have the Apollo 11 40th Anniversary version:

Got mine in a sale at a very good price too

**Loquacious** · 10th January 2013, 21:09

Bought mine (the same as yours) back in November 2011 from an AD and paid full price! Love it though I have been thinking of selling it since a recent purchase has stolen my heart and I've worn nothing else for nearly three whole months! Looking at your pictures 'nearly' made me get mine out of the watch box.

Still, your pictures have put a potential sale on the back burner.

**Retep** · 10th January 2013, 21:13

A classic right out of the box, its great that Omega never really changed the original design and still makes these, including the hesalite. Enjoy it!

**spareparts** · 12th January 2013, 17:57

Congrats, that one is still the best looking Speedy imho!

**Umbongo** · 12th January 2013, 18:02

Great watch. You cant really go wrong with a speedy.

**Chaim** · 12th January 2013, 18:44

i'm thinking about getting one again, of course the 3570...

With all due respect, you're posting some junk today in just about every sub-forum.
How about you slow it down a touch fella?

**scooter** · 18th January 2013, 15:35

I'm needy of a Speedy.

I differ as well. There has been quite a difference in the movement (try hand winding a cal. 321: much smoother than a regular 861!), further the dials with applied logo look much better (my taste...) and the early Speedmasters are better sized at 39,7 mm...

**EJL25** · 18th January 2013, 15:50

Congrats! That watch is a beauty!

**cantabriamepone** · 18th January 2013, 19:19

wow, awesome!
