    Had far too many for comfort and still regret letting a perfect Ed White go during a period of personal trauma (I sold a lot of watches I loved at that time, in fact). I know, though, that if I buy a Pro it'll last about 6 months.

    The only Speedy I'd really consider now is the Ed White reissue, but the price is a p*ss-take.

    Very pleased with this new version, prefer it to the Ed White Cal 321 which didn’t last long.

    You won’t regret it! ;-) Most annoying thing is sizing the bracelet with the ridiculous tiny screws! My short vision is good still but they are fiddly to say the least..

    Thanks I am completely sold on the watch, just a bit of a waiting game now as my OB is not an Omega owned boutique so they have to wait a bit longer for new release stock. They have got me an Apollo 50th, Snoopy, and white dial so will remain loyal. The only one I passed on was the Snoopy 45th....of course.

    One of the guys at the OB is very good on bracelet sizing and swapping so he will get that job!!

    I really like the way Omega have differentiated the time-keeping and time-recording functions using differing styles of hands.

    They did that on the last FOIS too. It wasn't universally popular and wasn't done on the 1960s watches. I don't mind it myself

    It looks like a lovely watch, and at a price that’s not too over the top.

    I like how Omega keep bringing out new Speedmasters. It properly winds up the man Karen’s who hate choice.

    It is a great looking watch. I know it is frowned upon, but I do like a bit of yellow lume even if it is a new watch.
    The price seems reasonable too considering where other omegas are.

    The lume there doesn’t look overdone at all. Looks really nice.

    I really like the case shape on these. Prices have gone a bit crazy, I was lucky to buy mine when prices were at the bottom before Corona, I think I paid around 2000gbp for mine.

    I really like these, and worry that it might be my next buy. The trouble is I already have an 80's Speedy Pro whcih I've got an attachment to, so lets see in a few months when the hype dies down.
    Nice to see them not taking the pi$$ with the price, as they could have probably bumped it up, but i still struggle with Speedys at this price given where they were 6/7 yrs ago...

    Anyone know what the fois comes with inside the box? Just read an article by deployant which shows an individual small box and mentions a special leaflet inside! Changed days when you got a lot of goodies included!
