Thank you so much for these comparison pictures! I have a Speedy and been thinking about adding a 356 for a while, but they are so hard to find in person. These are the best side by side shots I’ve...

I second this recommendation. The original bracelet for the modern 1861 Speedy is quite heavy and not as adjustable as the Uncle Seiko alternatives. If you are a bracelet fan, give the US offerings a...
The Omega Globemaster falls somewhere in between dressy and sporty. On an alligator strap it can pull off dress duty, especially if your preference is for sport watches since it is a bit thicker than...

The bracelet is really nice. One of my favorite Omega bracelets in fact. The only issue...
I have the beads of rice and have used it on my Speedmaster and Railmaster. Fits both cases perfectly and build quality is quite good. Here’s a couple of pics.
