Omega Speedmaster acrylic popping out?
Recent Comments
I was thinking about buying my first luxury watch but didn't have a clue where to start. My dad and grandad had Omegas so I walked into the boutique and started trying on watches. Aqua Terra was too flashy, Seamaster was too big, and then I tried on the Speedy and it just clicked.
Lots of detail but wasn't overpowering. Proportions were perfect (even though it was a 42mm). The history of the watch as told by the advisor. I kept looking around for the next few months but the Speedy just felt right, so ended up buying it as my first luxury watch.
Buying subsequent watches has been a nightmare because around that price range of around £5,000 it's hard to get such a complete package.
Oh yeah it's super realistic for people to sell a few thousand £ worth of jewelery and move neighbourhoods, not like we have wives and kids and jobs. Oh also have you heard of this housing crisis that's going around?
I live in Manchester but go down to London often, watch thefts are becoming super common, if former heavyweight champion boxer Amir Khan can get his watch robbed then nobody is safe!
But it does mean my G Shock gets some more wrist time
All this tells me is that Omega haven't fixed this issue decades later 😂
Glad to be in the company of legends though
