Until I saw this, I never really gave much thought to this type of watch. Now I’m obsessed. 🤖

This may be the answer to every situation in which one could need a tool watch. Looking 👍🏻

I like what you have to say here. For me, it brings up an important distinction. There is what we find acceptable for ourselves, and what Is currently “in fashion”. I appreciate that you recognize what your preferences are and let them guide your buying/wearing decisions. It’s also important to recognize that what we find acceptable for ourselves can change over time just as fashions do. Because of this, I am extremely grateful for the current robust secondary market.

First, that’s a lovely watch. That dial! I can’t speak to the idea of “heft“, as that’s pretty subjective and opinions are probably all over the map. However, your concern over the rotor is likely justified. that “hollow feel” and noise you are describing could potentially be an issue with the rotor bearing. It may be worth having it checked over by your AD or a repair person you trust.

While I do like this colorway, I believe I also still prefer the blue. Currently however, I’ve become obsessed with this;

The Memovox. The idea of a mechanical watch with an alarm function is somehow very appealing to me.

It’s not a Speedy, but….

It IS an Omega Museum Collection number 9 in white gold, throwing it back to 1941. Perhaps it helped, in some way, to inspire the Speedmaster? What do...
