Wow, congrats! I'm after a sapphire 3861 too but the best I've found so far is £5.5k with a 4 to 8 week delivery time.Originally Posted by ddm27

Not much Speedmaster talk lately, I hope the discussion continues from here! I've had multiple different versions of the Speedmaster in past, but I've always let them go. I've had the FOIS for a while now, and I think it's the perfect Speedmaster for me - slightly smaller looking than the Pro, and I like the vintage vibe it has.
I've always been a fan of bracelets, and I recently got the Forstner bracelet for my Speedy FOIS. The bracelet is clearly a quality item, fit and finish is good and it's quite comfortable on the wrist. The bracelet is quite light and thus the watch feels a bit top heavy. As usual, a metal bracelet also makes the watch look a bit bigger. I kind of like it, but I do think the FOIS works better on a strap.
Well I have been offered a 321 by the OB but I am wavering on whether to but it or not. It is so much money but a lovely movement.
Giving mine a run out on a variety of Haveston straps this week…
Speedmasters seem to look good an most …

I’m still on the fence with mine. Sometimes I think it’s too big for my skinny wrist.

So… much… Speedyporn!
Didn’t realise how sharp and pointy the minute hand is with the 60th Trilogy one
Talking of "sharp and pointy".....

Just commented on this in the Friday thread. What an incredible watch!New acquisition from a long term member here. 1968 Omega Speedmaster Ultraman

^^ That Ultraman is amazing!
I've not worn my Speedy for a while, but now got a new green strap for it and this combination really works!
Wearing this version today, rather than my X-33 which tends to be my 'go to' .
My 3861 sapphire sandwich, which I'm thinking of selling as my close-up eyesight ain't really good enough for it. Beautiful piece though...
Bought my 1861 in 1999 as the 30th anniversary edition.
A change of bracelet to strap reduced the overall weight and made the watch so much more comfortable to wear.
Always a delight to have on my wrist, and one of the most legible watches due in part to the white painted hands. Lovely warmth and reflections from the hesalite.

I bought a 30th when new- as I remember it came with a big A5 history book and an era newspaper- did yours?
Ooof
[QUOTE=meridian;6334751]Hi meridian! Yes it did, I got the A4 history book (pretty poorly bound, as pages are loosening every time I pick it up!) which is incredibly interesting with terrific info and pics, but not the newspaper?Bought my 1861 in 1999 as the 30th anniversary edition.

Thank you.
It's not a common watch, that's for sure. It is impressive and the lume is superb. If it had no lume, I'd still enjoy wearing it.
