Very nice. Thanks for posting.
My latest incoming is this Omega Speedmaster Professional model 3575.30.00 which has the unusual combination of a Moonphase function and a White Gold bezel. I've tried to research the watch but can find very little in the way of information only that they are quite rare and were made/sold in small numbers with production ceasing around 2005.
Even though I'm well into my watches and have owned models from most of the fine brands I've never owned an Omega Speedmaster Professional hand wound. I wanted a Moonphase silver dial watch so when this came up it fitted the bill perfectly. I picked it up Thursday and have been wearing it everyday since, I'm actually quite blown away by it's beauty, the dial although hard to read is quite stunning, it sparkles and changes colour beautifullly depending on the light and the hour markers glisten in unison with the White Gold bezel. Close up the detail is incredibly impressive and the Blue of the Moonphase complication provides the perfect contrast, to say I'm delighted with it would be an understatement.
When I see the prices being paid for some of the Speedmaster variants such as the CK2998, Snoopy White dial and most recently the Speedy Tuesday this one with the added Moonphase complication and White Gold bezel seems fairly good value.....but what do I know, like I said I'm definitely not an expert on Speedmaster's but this acquisition has really got me interested in them.

Very nice. Thanks for posting.
Just different enough to make it quite special but retains the classic design. I think this will provide a lot of wearing pleasure.

I usually skip past the speedmaster posts as I find if impossible to keep up with all the variants. This is one I have never come across and it looks pretty special, may not be the most legible but who cares. Great find.
I hadn't really thought about getting a spare bezel as this one is like new but I can see the logic, I'll make enquiries this week with Omega. Would have been very interesting to have seen what it would have looked like with your superb photography skills Tony......
I like this one, and offers great value. Also cool to have a moon phase on the speedmaster!

I'v seen it passing by on SC: it must be the best looking Speedmaster I have ever seen. Love the dail, moonphase and bezel!
Must have missed that one! Looks really nice although can see what you mean about legibility. I think I'd be willing to live with that though. Nice one.
Glad this has gone to an excellent home!
Very nice watch sir!! Beautiful Speedmaster indeed, definitely one of my favorite version...well done!!
That is lovely, I was very tempted when I saw this in s/c, only things that put me off was the monies and legibility. I would love one in time. Great buy.
Stop talking it up Steve or I won't be able to afford to buy it off you😎

Would be interested to see a caseback shot please Steve. On the post obviously
That's a classy look.
(mind you - I can just hear your neighbours:
"He's doing it again, Mildred"
"What? The watch on the fencepost?"
"Yeah, he's dropped the camera twice!"
"George! put those binoculars down! He'll see you!" )

Wow that really nice. Love a speedmaster but I've never seen one of those before.
New to me and a stunning watch
It really is a very attractive watch and I was sorely tempted when I saw it on SC. I'm glad to see it find a good new home!
The white gold bezel....does the relative softness of the gold mean that it's harder to keep it pristine, or the opposite - ie that while it's more easily marked, those marks can be smoothed out more easily than those on a steel bezel?
I really like that!
I think for an already busy dial the hands are a touch on the big side causing it to look a little cluttered, just my humble opinion of course.
Congrats and enjoy.

Some new clothes to dress it up a bit, Omega Crocodile strap with deployant clasp courtesy from a long standing member here;
Very nice indeed though I do agree about legibility. Having said that, I doubt you spend your whole day in bright sunlight! I think a leather strap suits it best as the watch leans more to dressiness than to toolishness.

Might not be the easiest to read but it looks stunning. Haven't seen that one before, thanks for sharing.
