the etching on the clasp looks rep.

Calling dibs on that modded PO!

Sammalone, Great news! Thanks for the update!

They recently updated it--look at the subdial numbers, all have the same orientation. They also increased the diameter by about 1 mm. I guess this is just a pipe dream for me...

The watch I'm after is ref. 3210.50 (new version of the one posted above). The case diameter is 40mm. This looks like an updated, modern version of the Speedy Pro. I actually just bought a new-to-me Speedy Pro, but I also want a date but can't fork over another fat wad of cash. I could use the Date as a beater when I'm doing something more reckless or know I will be drunk or in a sketchy part of town.

The new Speedy Date has caught my eye... It seems like it would be an easy rep, considering it uses the stock 7750 subdial layout. There's an excellent rep of the Tag Carrera, and the Speedy Date is Omega's version. (or should I say the Carrera is the Tag's version). Regardless, that 7750 layout is extremely common, and they already rep the SMP chrono... I would jump on one of these the minute it came out.

I recently got myself a gen Speedy off the bay, and now I'm hunting for a display back for it. I know leitzozeiss (sp?) got one from another member and it fit perfectly. I am planning to ask a dealer to source one for me, (unless anyone has one for sale?). My question is: the gen speedy has a 42 mm width, but on the rep sites it says that the reps are 40 mm. I do not know if the caseback will fit. Suggestions?

Hi all, Looking for a black ETA SMP (2254) with the correct length hands. None of the dealers I'm looking at have it. Planning to have the dial/hands superlumed, which is cheaper than going gen hands/dial, which will run about 190 or so. Might be worth it, though. You guys know where I can get one?

I work in a cataract research lab a few days a week. Here's my AT in action!

Heh. It's the best looking rep because it's gen. Look at the subdial spacing--can't rep that, my friend.

The hands look short compared to the gen, which is why I want to replace them.

To clarify: I will have the gen hands installed (they are lumed enough, obviously), and have the dial lumed. They fit, right?

I am considering getting a Black SMP (2254). The He valve placement doesn't bother me too much, and I plan to buy the gen hands from ofrei and have it superlumed to get the torch effect. It will be pretty accurate after that, I think. Do the hands fit for sure? Also, I didn't know that ETA was pronounced "etta." Weird.

Since the seamaster pro chrono is such an awesome rep due to the easy to rep spacing at 6, 9, 12, why hasn't the speedy date 3210.50 been repped? It seems like it'd be perfect and the date would also be there. I would definitely buy one of those, especially since the moon watches ALWAYS have the subdial issue.

A $1000 for a Speedy is an AMAZING deal! I've been hunting on eBay, including the completed deals, and it seems impossible to find one under ~$1400. Any tips, or just plain lucky? Congrats on the watch!
