Reduced Speedy Automatic

[Geo]

This is one of my favourite everyday watches, smaller and more comfortable than the the Moon Watch. It is especially good on a black leather strap. :)

[GuiBer]

I agree... I also have one of those, that was during 15 years my (almost) everyday choice!

 

It has lost the first rang only three monthes ago, when I received a birthday gift, that I'm now wearing and that I'll show you later.

 

But I'm sure I'll be back to the "speedy" many times in the future!

[bobm12]

It is a beauty Geo, I'm not surprised it is a choice to wear! I would too!  :)

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

Don't get flashing that out in public,  you might get a bump on the noggin and be minus one very nice watch.

It's nice but not that nice. A lot safer to wear than a Rolex though. ;)

[jeffc83]

Nice one...that model is by far my favorite Omega!  (nice condition too)

 

Funny you said that about Rolex Geo, I am wearing my vintage DateJust again and all I get is "is that real?"  When I say yes, I get a laugh like "sure it is" and when I say no, I get a lecture about being fake....lose lose situation there BUT no one will steal it from me so I consider Rolex a safe watch to wear daily;)

How about a Timex? :D

My much reduced speedy almost to a crawl! :D

[jeffc83]

Bob, that was priceless :crazysmile:

[jdm]

Fantastic Chrono. I like the Timex too. I like them all!

[WileyDave]

Sometimes I prefer to wear a leather strap versus bracelet, that's one nice Omega,

Sláinte!

[bobm12]

I know, right?! Absolutely gorgeous and my favorite brand too. Although I'm partial to steel and/or heavy link (diver style, etc) bracelets -- and Omega has nice ones -- in this case I'm with Geo: Leather! It highlights the nice lines and design of this specific Omega model.

[ramrod]

my favorite omega also. they are so good looking. big dial, long slender hands, slender font on the digits. they are very nice.

My dream watch is the Omega Speedmaster with manual calibre 321...I'll take an 861 too, though.

 

I can't quite justify wearing something on my wrist that expensive--yet.

Give it time, you will;)  Having said that, I constantly forget if I wear a several thousand dollar watch over a 10 dollar repair job....this is also VERY sad when I slam it against something by mistake and forget which watch I am wearing, lol.  (when you have well over 300, you stop thinking about it I guess)

You have what? Three HUNDRED?!? And I thought I need therapy for obsessive compulsive disorder (level 5) with hoarding characteristics!

 

Someone who hoards may exhibit the following:

 

Inability to throw away possessions

• Severe anxiety when attempting to discard items
• Great difficulty categorizing or organizing possessions
• Indecision about what to keep or where to put things
• Distress, such as feeling overwhelmed or embarrassed by possessions
• Suspicion of other people touching items
• Obsessive thoughts and actions: fear of running out of an item or of needing it in the future.
• Functional impairments, including loss of living space, social isolation, family or marital discord, financial difficulties, health hazards

These definitions describe me, of course.

JC

LOL, I didn't say that I was normal;)  Yeah, I have been pushing the envelope recently man, I just love hoarding, I mean collecting them:D  I DO have the inability to sell them but all joking aside, I have sold two recently:  One of my Spaceviews and the other a "sunburst" Timex!

[noirrac1j]

I too, have been selling some of mine with the idea of getting one really special watch!

Ok, there is my next goal: 300 I'll tell the wife and she will understand....I only need about 10 more to get there! I'll talk her into making the last 10 memorable...errr, just in case, any of our hobbyist members is by any chance a divorce attorney? :D

 

PS. Joe, I think you more than deserve the watch of your dreams. Trust me, get it asap!

 

Cheers,

Crikey!  That's me to a tee!  

 

Off to see a shrink ASAP!!!

Howzit Geo .  I've got the same watch on the original SS bracelet , but after looking at yours , I'm going to get a leather band and wear mine more often . That's a very handsome combination .

Do you know offhand if the lug width is 18mm or 20mm.

Hi Louis, I'm doing just fine.  You will need an 18mm strap for your watch.

[ricardopalamino]

You made a believer out of me Geo .  While I , like bobm12 , am partial to well made SS bracelets . From the heaver diver style , the more delicate beads of rice style,  to everything in between . This watch in particular really begs for black leather.

ramrod , good buddy ,...the way you described this watch is So sexy .

My choice is this basket weave design from Hadley Roma .
