Guest HaloArchive Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hello All, I am just so happy right now that I bought this. I saw someone list it and, it was an immediate connection. I can tell that this one will be staying for a while It is an 80's Speedy in near pristine condition. Cal 861, bracelet 1479 with 812 endlinks. It is the 20th anniversary edition and is within the rarer first 1000/2000 watches out of the series that does not have the Appolo text on the side along with the number. It has just the number. It has the long p and r The movement is actually running +/- .75 s/d which is incredible for the speedy; vintage or modern. The crystal is original; even with the imprinted flat feet Omega logo in the center of the acrylic. It is just gorgeous! Anyways, enough with the talk and on to the pictures; please excuse the crappyness but, I am very excited and couldnt wait! Cheers~ HA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbutlerman Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Welcome to the club...another beautiful example, that is for sure! I also just acquired a Speedmaster (http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/106013-genuine-omega-speedmasters-won-or-purchased-d/page__view__findpost__p__735243__fromsearch__1), albeit a little newer, a 2000 cal, 1863. I love it, can't keep my eyes off of it! Congrats on the acquisition! Lani had it right...a bunch of Moony's have hit RWG as of late!

HauteHippie Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Wow. Where did you happen upon this one? I've been looking for a 20th Anniv off and on for about 6 months, and am still waiting to find one. I actually purchased one and returned it to the owner after it arrived with scratches on the dial face about six months ago. Very hard to do, and heart breaking. For what it's worth, this particular speedy did come with a 1450 bracelet in 1989. But of course, it looks good with the 1479 also! Anyhow, very nice piece and congrats!

elepaolo Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Simply one of the most beautiful, simple, almost "icy" chronographs in the whole history (not only of horology, but of human kind...). I'm a happy owner of a recent (cal. 1863) Speedmaster from 2000, and love it every day, even if I don't wear it that much. I simply love looking at it (am I going insane?)

Matt_S Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 From a noob, that looks yummy scrummy!!! I love the whole worn scratched patina look, it gives the watch a certain charm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
