  1. #1

    After a long wait, it arrives!

    So a big black box!


    Well OK so we now know the Brand!


    The third black box but getting closer!


    The reveal!




    Now some shots in the sun and on the wrist.





    Final one - the lume shot!

    Well done, it IS a lovely looking watch.
    Now, find the bracelet for it:-).

    Ha ha you're right of course.

    I don't mind straps but I do find the strap a bit short!

    More likely be on a NATO before a bracelet though!

    The Lume is stunning, as is the watch. I'm not normally a big speedy fan but I really like that, congrats.

    Couldn't have put it better myself.

    It is a beautiful watch, and that lume!

    I can imagine your pleasure and excitement opening that box for the first time. Congrats.

    What % of the production cost do you reckon that box takes up?

    Lovely. Well jel as the kids say.

    Well done.

    Personally don't think a Nato would work at all but on the steel bracelet it's a winner!

    Agree.
    After humming and hawing for ages like a woman, I have finally committed to buying this.
    Can someone point out the part number for the Speedmaster racing bracelet that fits this. TIA.

    Awesome bezel, awesome dial and colour choice, gorgeous in all aspects.

    How is the accuracy so far? And what movement does this piece have?

    Wear it in good health.

    After traveling with the box for the Seamaster 300 Spectre LE in carry-on luggage from Singapore to Atlanta, this box actually seems reasonably sized to me. :-)

    I agree.

    I lugged the even bigger box for the 45th Apollo 11 Anniversary Speedmaster back from Japan back to UK!

    And in both cases the box is pretty much empty. A bracelet or a NATO and a deployant clasp would of been a nice edition.

    I mean the basic Moonwatch gets loads of good stuff and this cost a little more that that one!

    I had my Speedie delivered to work and had to lug it home on my 2 mile walk from the station. Needless to say my arms weren't happy.

    Really like that Omega back to 70th design. One of models which makes me tempted to buy a watch ;-)

    After a long wait, it arrives!

    And now on an OEM Nato strap. Yes I know they are silly money but this is leather and pretty much similar to any normal leather OEM strap price.

    I like it!
